Toronto Raptors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves [7:30 p.m.]

TV:  TSN

Radio:  TSN 1050

Location:  Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, ON

This matchup acts as a Canada homecoming for Andrew Wiggins. In his four games he's played in Toronto, Wiggins has averaged 20.3 points per game but has yet to pick up a win in his home country. The Timberwolves are 1-2 on the season thus far.

Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers [10:00 p.m.]

TV:  TSN1

Location:  Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ

The Suns won their home opener over the Dallas Mavericks. This is their second consecutive game against a Western Conference juggernaut, giving this young team a chance to prove themselves early in the season.

Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers [7:00 p.m.]

TV:  NBA TV Canada

Location:  Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, MI

This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Cavaliers. After playing the Brooklyn Nets at home on Wednesday, they travel to Detroit for this Central Divison battle. Kevin Love has averaged a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds per game, trying to fill the void left behind from LeBron James' move to Los Angeles.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics [8:00 p.m.]

TV:  TSN

Location:  Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, OK

This is a great matchup between two of the top teams in their respective conferences. The Thunder are off to a winless start without their MVP-point guard Russell Westbrook, but it is believed he will be making his return sooner than later. If Westbrook plays, this should be one of the best games of the week.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets [10:30 p.m.]

TV:  TSN

Location:  STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA

LeBron's home opener didn't go as planned, losing a close contest to the Houston Rockets. Tempers flared between two of the Western Conference's top teams resulting in a fight that spoiled the Lakers' STAPLES Center season debut. James will look to add his first of many victories in Los Angeles over the Nuggets.

Friday, Oct. 26 - two games

He posted 26 points on Saturday to secure the Mavs' first win of the season over the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is both Dallas and Toronto's third game of the week and it is the Raptors final game of the week.

The Nets got their first win of the season in thrilling fashion when Caris LeVert scored the final seven points, including a game-winning layup, to defeat the Knicks on Friday. They are 1-2 heading into this three-game week.

TV:  TSN2

Location:  American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

The Jazz lost a heartbreaker at home on Friday against the Warriors when a Jonas Jerebko tip-in completed Golden State's comeback.

He's averaging 24.5 points per game shooting a lights-out 64.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards [9:30 p.m.]

This is also the final game of the Wizards' three-game west coast road trip.
