Things are heating up in both college and NBA hoops. Here are a few games to catch this week:
Tonight (Monday)
9 PM: Dallas @ Utah – NBATV
It’s Deron vs. J-Kidd as two top teams jockey for position in the West.
Tuesday
7 PM: Toronto @ Orlando – NBATV
Dwight Howard vs. Chris Bosh…it doesn’t get much better than this in the East.
Wednesday
7:30 PM: Detroit @ Boston – ?
This Eastern Conference clash isn’t on national TV, but should be worth seeking out. Both teams play hard every game, and this one could affect seeding in the playoffs.
9:00 PM: Phoenix @ Denver – ESPN
Two of the league’s high-octane teams should provide an entertaining, high-scoring affair.
Thursday
11 PM: #7 Stanford @ #2 UCLA – ?
Stanford could earn a share of the Pac-10 title with a win at UCLA. Check your local listings for this huge matchup, which (ponderously) isn’t on national television.
Friday
9:30 PM: Utah @ Phoenix – ?
Believe it or not, Utah really pushes the ball, so this too should be an entertaining game.
10:30 PM: San Antonio @ Denver – ESPN
Guess who’s first in the West again. That’s right, the Spurs look to be on another title march.
Saturday
12 PM: #13 Louisville @ #10 Georgetown – CBS
This contest will determine the Big East championship.
9 PM: #1 North Carolina @ #5 Duke – ESPN
This game could decide the ACC regular season champ and the #1 seed in the East.
