Here is a look at some of the marquee matchups for Saturday night in the NBA
New York Knicks at Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a much different team than they were a year ago. The Cavaliers lost superstar LeBron James in the off-season and have had little success in replacing him or winning ballgames. The Cavs have yet to hit double digits in wins on the season and lack a true superstar that will fill the seats in Cleveland.
The Knicks are having a great season and are playing with the top teams in the NBA. It will be interesting to see how the Knicks respond in this spot. This is the third game in four nights for the Knicks and they will have to try and get motivated to play the Cavs after back-to-back games against the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. This has the potential for a big upset.
LA Clippers at Chicago Bulls
The game between the Clippers and the Bulls on Saturday may not seem that interesting until you look at the story lines. The Clippers have young rookie superstar Blake Griffin and he has excelled this year, yet the Clippers have still had troubles on the road. The Bulls are having a great year but injuries are starting to hurt the team. Joakim Noah recently suffered an injury and will be unavailable to the Bulls for this game. It will be interesting to see how the Bulls replace him on the floor and if they can win without him in the lineup.
