The Charlotte Hornets hope to have All-Star guard Kemba Walker in the lineup Monday when they host the New York Knicks. Walker left Friday's loss at Milwaukee due to a neck strain after Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo landed on him, and the Hornets' leader did not practice Sunday.

The Indiana Pacers' first game without star guard Victor Oladipo didn't go so well, and the path forward isn't getting any easier. The Pacers will try to move to 1-1 since Oladipo's season-ending knee injury when they host the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Monday.

The Boston Celtics stared down the two-time defending champions on Saturday night and came up just short but learned something about their team. The Celtics will try to put those lessons into practice and earn a sixth win in seven games when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

The Memphis Grizzlies picked on the depleted Indiana Pacers to snap an eight-game slide on Saturday and are playing for pride. The Grizzlies will try to post consecutive wins for the first time since Christmas when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

The Los Angeles Clippers responded to a five-game losing streak by winning four of their last five and look to continue moving forward when they host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Montrezl Harrell recorded 25 points off the bench to lead six players in double figures and the Clippers distributed the ball well, registering 35 assists on 42 baskets, in a 122-106 over visiting Sacramento on Sunday.
