Starting Lineups: Nov. 25
NBA fans are spoiled tonight as DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis go head-to-head for the second time in two weeks.
Davis's Pelicans got the edge last Tuesday with a 106-100 victory in Sacramento, with Davis edging Cousins 28-24 in the scoring column. They'll dance again Tuesday, this time in Louisiana, and that's a must-watch given how they've both performed so far.
Elsewhere, the Hawks and Wizards jockey for position in the Eastern Conference hierarchy and the banged-up Bulls face one of the toughest tests in basketball with a road game in Denver.
