After an exciting night in the NBA last night; Curry scoring 51, Westbrook dropping 45; the league has 4 games on schedule with some exciting match-ups. In the first of the TNT doubleheader, the young buck in Kyrie Irving goes head to head against the seasoned veteran in Chris Paul. The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to add number 12 on their winning streak as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers at home. Cleveland has been on a tear behind the leadership of Lebron and the phenomenal play of Kyrie Irving. The Clippers are taking on a ship that’s at full speed right now, but I’m sure Doc Rivers will have his platoon ready to go to work. In the late game, we have the Phoenix Suns in their second match-up against the Portland Trailblazers this season. Portland is looking to get back on stride after a tough month in January due to injuries. With Robin Lopez back in the line-up, the Blazers are back full strength and looking to turn things around. With another half of the season left, Phoenix is trying to stay alive in this royal rumble that is the western conference. The Suns have lost two straight but can’t afford to lose many more with New Orleans and Oklahoma City climbing right behind them. Our writers for the night are:
