Wait, 12 hours? Oh yes. The first game tips off at 12:30pm, and the last game commences ten hours later at 10:30pm. 12 games is a lot, so let\u2019s get these NBA game previews going. Three nuggets for each game.<\/p>\n<h2>12 NBA Game Previews for MLK Day<\/h2>\n<p>(all times listed Eastern Standard)<\/p>\n<h3>New Orleans Pelicans at Boston Celtics | 12:30pm &#8211; League Pass<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>NBA MLK Day begins with a battle of the Hernangomez brothers! <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hernawi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willy Hernangomez<\/a><\/strong> of the Pelicans vs. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hernaju01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juancho Hernangomez<\/a><\/strong> of the Celtics. By all accounts, the Spaniard bros are two of the nicest and best teammates in the league.<\/li>\n<li>The stars highlighting this matchup are also linked: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/i\/ingrabr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandon Ingram<\/a><\/strong> was the 2nd overall pick in the 2016 draft while <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/brownja02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jaylen Brown<\/a><\/strong> was the very next pick at #3. And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/tatumja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jayson Tatum<\/a><\/strong> went to Duke the year after Ingram played for Coach K. (Tatum was the 3rd overall pick in the 2017 draft.)<\/li>\n<li>New Orleans went 2-0 vs. Boston last season, however, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/w\/willizi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zion Williamson<\/a><\/strong> scored 28 points in both meetings. Zion is still without a timetable to return, no new developments on his status in quite some time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks | 1:00pm &#8211; NBA TV<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The first thing that comes to mind with this matchup is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/grahade01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Devonte\u2019 Graham<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s 3-point game-winner at MSG back in November 2019 when Eric Collins, of course, had an epic call: \u201cHe did it! HE DID IT! Devonte\u2019 Graham! Good for the cat burglar!!\u201d (Graham will be suiting up for the Pelicans in the game above.)<\/li>\n<li>The Hornets and Knicks are linked from a trade in last year\u2019s draft. The Knicks traded the #19 pick, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/joneska01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kai Jones<\/a><\/strong>, to Charlotte for a first-round pick in this year\u2019s draft which the Knicks just sent to Atlanta in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/r\/reddica01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cam Reddish<\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2022\/01\/13\/cam-reddish-traded-to-new-york-knicks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">deal<\/a>. Jones has only played in 12 games so far this season, but perhaps head coach James Borrego will give the rookie a chance to show the team that originally drafted him what they missed out on.<\/li>\n<li>In the first matchup between these two back on November 12th, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/w\/walkeke02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kemba Walker<\/a><\/strong> scored 17 points in the 1st quarter against his former team, and the Knicks led 34-18 after the 1st frame. But then the Knicks fell apart like a 3-dollar suitcase, outscored by 24 points over the next three quarters in a shocking loss. That was also the night we were treated to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/toppiob01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Obi Toppin<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bridgmi02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miles Bridges<\/a><\/strong> back-to-back windmills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards | 2:00pm &#8211; League Pass<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Sixers remain red-hot aboard the W train, rolling though South Beach and wiping out the Heat on Saturday night behind another 30+ points from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/e\/embiijo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joel Embiid<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Not so red-hot, the Wizards suffered a bad loss on Saturday night at home to the Blazers. It was just the Blazers third win on the road this season. The Wizards hot start to the season has long been in the rear view.<\/li>\n<li>In the first matchup between these two on the day after Christmas, the Sixers beat the Wizards by 21. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bealbr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bradley Beal<\/a><\/strong> didn\u2019t play in that first game, and Beal is Questionable to play on MLK Day, having been out in the health and safety protocols for a second time this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers | 3:00pm &#8211; League Pass<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The first thing that comes to mind with this matchup is last year\u2019s outstanding 42-point performance by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/s\/sextoco01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Collin Sexton<\/a><\/strong> against the Nets in a wild 2OT Cavs win that saw Sexton score 20 straight points. He had <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/l\/loveke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Love<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mcgeeja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JaVale McGee<\/a><\/strong> hugging like long lost reunited relatives.<\/li>\n<li>Unfortunately, Sexton will not be on the court on MLK Day, a torn meniscus back in November ended his season early. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duranke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Durant<\/a><\/strong> will also not play after suffering a sprained MCL in his left knee on Saturday night against the Pelicans. KD is expected to miss the next four to six weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/i\/irvinky01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kyrie Irving<\/a><\/strong> <em>will<\/em> be playing since this is a Nets road game. It\u2019s Kyrie\u2019s fourth game of the season and against the team that drafted him and he won a championship with. Also, keep an eye out for a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/allenja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jarrett Allen<\/a><\/strong> Revenge Game as the 7-foot fro power-dunker and power-blocker takes on the team that drafted him and traded him last season. (A lot of Revenge Game potential!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies | 3:30pm &#8211; TNT<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After a late-game meltdown in Boston on Saturday night, the Bulls have lost three games in a row now for the first time all season. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lavinza01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zach LaVine<\/a><\/strong> joins the list of players out on Monday, dealing with a knee injury suffered at the beginning of Friday night\u2019s loss to the Warriors.<\/li>\n<li>The Memphis Grizzlies are also coming off a loss, the first Grizzlies loss since December 23rd. The Grizz are still a pristine 21-5 over the last 26 games, dominating all facets of the game: ranked 1st in steals, rebounds, blocks, second chance points, fast break points and points in the paint.<\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t preview a Bulls-Grizzlies game without mentioning two upcoming All-Stars: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/derozde01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeMar DeRozan<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/moranja01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ja Morant<\/a><\/strong>. At this point, they are All-Star Game guaranteed. Quick aside: Did you know that the Bulls lead the NBA in 3-point percentage? (The Grizz are 21st.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Indiana Pacers at Los Angeles Clippers | 3:30pm &#8211; League Pass<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Both of these teams were featured in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2022\/01\/15\/january-nba-hot-and-not\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">January Hot and Not<\/a> but neither for being hot.

Meanwhile, the Bucks were defeated by the Raptors 103-96 at home on Saturday night and are on an uncharacteristic stretch of losing five out of the last seven games.<\/li>\n<li>The Bucks have missed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/holidjr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jrue Holiday<\/a>. <\/strong>He&#8217;s been out since January 5th, dealing with an ankle injury, but Coach Bud says it&#8217;s not too serious.

The Suns had six double-digit scorers of their own.<\/li>\n<li>These two have already played twice. Both were Suns four-point victories.
