Al Horford’s shot pushed Boston past Detroit on November 19 (Getty)
Ten games are on the NBA schedule for the final day of November, with NBA TV televising a doubleheader as part of the action. In the first game of the double dip the Boston Celtics host the Detroit Pistons, with the Pistons playing in Charlotte Tuesday night. Center Andre Drummond was ejected from Tuesday’s game for a flagrant 2 foul in the second quarter, so he should be comparatively fresh as a result. Both teams are looking to take the next step after reaching the playoffs but being eliminated in the first round last season, and on November 19 the Celtics won by two in Auburn Hills as Al Horford’s put-back in the final seconds gave them a 94-92 victory.
in the second game of the doubleheader the Indiana Pacers begin a five-game west coast road trip with a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Nate McMillan’s team has been banged up of late, with multiple players including Paul George missing time of late, but they soundly defeated the Clippers Sunday night in Indianapolis. As for the Blazers, they’ve lost three of their last four and six of their last eight games, and they’re still looking to find the right mix with free agent acquisition Evan Turner in the fold.
Also of note Wednesday is Atlanta looking to end their three-game losing streak, the top two rookies in 2015-16 meeting in Minneapolis (New York’s Kristaps Porzingis and Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns), Joel Embiid and the 76ers facing the DeMarcus Cousins-led Kings, and Memphis visiting Toronto without the injured Mike Conley Jr. Below are the times and television listings for Wednesday, with all times being Eastern.
