For basketball junkies, Martin Luther King Jr. Day follows only Christmas when it comes to satisfying that insatiable NBA itch. This year, the fun starts at Noon Eastern Time Monday on NBATV when the fire-sale Atlanta Hawks travel to Madison Square Garden to take on the rebuilding Knicks. Next up, the floundering Pelicans face the streaking Pacers to round out the early line before the action switches to TNT.
Obviously the premier game of the day will be the much anticipated re-match between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7pm:
In the 9:30 pm finale, fans will be treated to the final regular-season meeting between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Clippers.
