College basketball gets its first real Tuesday: 5 Michigan State at 2 Duke on ESPN, 3 Illinois at 16 Texas Tech on Peacock and 15 Kansas at 24 Kentucky, all 3 with both teams ranked. NBC builds an NBA doubleheader around Boston at Philadelphia, the East’s top 2, and Minnesota take the Central lead to Montreal.
EntitledSports will publish a daily round-up of all the major games available through streaming and terrestrial broadcast tv or cable for sports fans. You can find the full schedules and ways to watch on the entitledsports.com/schedule.
5 Michigan State @ 2 Duke — 7:00 PM ET
NCAAM · Watch on ESPN Unlimited
Both teams are 2-0 and both are in the top 5, which on November 10 is as good as the sport gets. Duke sit 2nd and Michigan State 5th after moving up a spot in the first in-season poll. Neither has played anybody yet, so this is the first real evidence either way, and ESPN has it on its own at 7:00.
MIN Wild @ MTL Canadiens — 7:00 PM ET
NHL · Watch on Wild+, TSN2, RDS, ESPN+
The Minnesota Wild (12-3-4) have 28 points, the 3rd most in the league, and lead the Central. The Montreal Canadiens (11-3-3) have 25 and have not lost in regulation in 10 games. That is 2 of the better teams in hockey meeting on a Tuesday, and the national schedule passed it over for a game between 2 clubs on 3-game losing streaks.
BOS Celtics @ PHI 76ers — 8:00 PM ET
NBA · Watch on NBC, NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Philadelphia, Peacock, NBC Sports Boston+, NBC Sports Philadelphia+
The Philadelphia 76ers (9-2) have the best record in the East and the Boston Celtics (8-2) are half a game back, though Boston are outscoring teams by nearly 11 a night against Philadelphia’s 3. Adem Bona is out for the 76ers. NBC and Peacock have it, so the East’s top 2 needs no regional subscription.
3 Illinois @ 16 Texas Tech — 8:00 PM ET
NCAAM · Watch on Peacock
Illinois are 3rd and 2-0, Texas Tech 16th and 2-0 after climbing 3 spots. It is the only one of tonight’s 3 ranked matchups not on ESPN, which makes Peacock the single way to see it. A top-3 team on the road in the 2nd week of November is worth the subscription math.
15 Kansas @ 24 Kentucky — 9:30 PM ET
NCAAM · Watch on ESPN Unlimited
Kansas are 15th at 2-0 and Kentucky 24th at 2-0, Kansas having climbed 2 spots in the new poll and Kentucky slipped 1. Neither has been tested. A 9:30 tip on ESPN closes the college night, and a 3rd ranked matchup in one evening is not a normal November Tuesday.
OKC Thunder @ POR Blazers — 11:00 PM ET
NBA · Watch on NBC, Thunder Gameday Network, Peacock, Thunder+
The Oklahoma City Thunder (8-2) have won 4 straight and sit half a game out of 1st in the West. The Portland Trail Blazers (6-3) have lost 2 in a row off a 6-1 start and are still without Ja Morant until December. Jaylin Williams is out for Oklahoma City. An 11:00 tip is late, but NBC carrying it means no team app.
College Basketball, the Rest (2):
Both of these have a ranked side. Florida are 1st and 2-0, visiting an unranked Florida State in the earliest window of the night. Arizona are the cautionary tale of the week: they have already lost once and fell from 5th to 12th. 69 men’s games are on the schedule, and these are the 2 beyond the matchups above worth planning around.

- Northern Arizona @ 12 Arizona — 9:00 PM ET – Watch on ESPN+
The Rest of the NHL Slate (6):
7 games tonight and TNT took the weakest of them: Detroit (7-8-3) at St. Louis (7-8-2), both on 3-game losing streaks. The one to find instead is New Jersey at Winnipeg, with the Devils 9-1-0 in their last 10. ESPN+ carries almost all of the rest out of market.

The Rest of the NBA Slate (4):
4 more games, all regional, with League Pass as the out-of-market answer. The bottom of the league has gotten strange fast: Milwaukee, Sacramento and Utah are all 1-9, and 3 of these 4 games involve one of them.

MACtion (3):
Tuesday night MAC football. Ohio (7-2) are 5-0 in the conference on a 6-game win streak and visit Miami (OH) at 8:00, which is the one with the MAC race attached. Akron are 0-5 in league play and Bowling Green 2-7 overall, so the other 2 are for completists.
