Set to meet for the first time this season, the Warriors and Magic get together at Kia Center on Tuesday night. Golden State comes in on a four-game winning streak against Orlando, boosted last year by Stephen Curry averaging 40 points across the matchup. The Warriors also roll in off a strong 124-106 win in New Orleans, where Moses Moody exploded for 32 points and eight threes — both career highs — while Jonathan Kuminga remained out.
Orlando returns home after a tough 117-113 overtime loss in Houston. Franz Wagner poured in 29 points and Desmond Bane added 26, but the Magic couldn’t close it out without Paolo Banchero, who remains sidelined. They may, however, get some help back with Jalen Suggs listed as questionable.

Memphis closes its four-game road trip Tuesday in San Antonio, riding an 11-game road winning streak against the Spurs — a run that included two wins last season during their 3-1 series victory.

Back home after a five-game road swing, the Lakers return to Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday for their first matchup of the season with the Utah Jazz. Los Angeles comes in riding a four-game home winning streak in this matchup, a run that helped them take last year’s series 3-1. Their most recent outing was a dominant 119-95 win in Milwaukee, powered by Luka Doncic’s 41 points, nine rebounds and five threes, plus Austin Reaves’ 25 points, six boards and eight assists.
Utah is coming off a wild double-overtime win over Chicago, erasing a 15-point deficit to pull out a 150-147 victory behind a monster 47-point night from Lauri Markkanen and 33 points plus four steals from Keyonte George. Even with that surge, the Jazz head into LA looking to end a 20-game road losing streak in conference play. In major Lakers news, LeBron James is questionable to make his season debut.

Separated by just a game and a half in the West, the Suns and Trail Blazers meet Tuesday night at Moda Center for their first matchup of the new season. Last year’s series was perfectly balanced — each team won twice at home — with Devin Booker leading the way at 31.8 points per game. Portland comes into this one looking to steady things after a 138-133 overtime loss in Dallas, where Deni Avdija dropped 29 points and seven assists while Jrue Holiday remained sidelined. The Blazers have dropped four of their last five.
Phoenix arrives after a rough collapse on Sunday, giving up a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in a 124-122 loss to Atlanta. Dillon Brooks delivered 34 points and three steals, while Booker added 27 points and seven assists, but the slip ended their five-game winning streak. Grayson Allen remains out for the Suns.
