Golden State’s 8-Game Streak Meets Houston on ESPN

6 Games Across 3 Services
A NBA doubleheader on ESPN headlines this fall evening.

Golden State and Houston are both 8-3 and meet on ESPN at 9:30, which is the game of the night. Before it, San Antonio bring a 9-game win streak into Chicago, TNT runs an NHL doubleheader, and Toledo host Massachusetts with the MAC race on the line after Ohio lost on Tuesday.

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.

Marquette @ 20 Michigan — 7:00 PM ET

NCAAM · Watch on Fox Sports 1, FOXONE

Michigan are 20th at 1-1 and Marquette are unranked but collecting votes. On a 67-game college basketball slate this is the only game between 2 teams anyone would call evenly matched. After Michigan State beat Duke and Illinois lost at Texas Tech on Tuesday, a ranked host is not the formality it looks like.

TBL Lightning @ BUF Sabres — 7:00 PM ET

NHL · Watch on TNT, TruTV, HBO Max

The Tampa Bay Lightning (11-4-2) have 24 points and sit 3rd in the Atlantic, 3 back of Boston. The Buffalo Sabres (8-6-3) have 19 and have conceded more than they have scored. 6 teams in that division are inside 8 points of each other, so a Tampa win in the national window puts real pressure on the top.

Massachusetts @ Toledo — 7:30 PM ET

NCAAF · Watch on CBS Sports Network

Toledo (7-2) are 4-1 in the MAC and a game back of Ohio and Western Michigan, who are both 5-1 after Ohio lost 34-17 at Miami (OH) on Tuesday. Massachusetts (5-4) are 2-3 in the league. This is the MAC game with the conference race attached, and CBS Sports Network has it at 7:30.

SAS Spurs @ CHI Bulls — 8:00 PM ET

NBA · Watch on Chicago Sports Network, Spurs on DAZN, Chicago Sports Network+, NBA League Pass

The San Antonio Spurs (9-2) have won 9 straight, the longest active streak in the league, and are 5-0 away from home. The Chicago Bulls (1-8) have lost 7 in a row and are being outscored by nearly 17 a night. Nobody expects a contest. The streak makes a otherwise unwatchable game watchable (for non Spurs fans), and it is the longest anyone has put together this season.

UTA Mammoth @ VGK Knights — 9:30 PM ET

NHL · Watch on TNT, TruTV, HBO Max

The Vegas Golden Knights (12-5-2) have 26 points, 3 back of Edmonton in the Pacific, and have won 3 straight. The Utah Mammoth (10-7-1) have 21 and have scored exactly as many as they have allowed, which is a tidy summary of their season so far. This is the better half of TNT’s doubleheader.

GSW Warriors @ HOU Rockets — 9:30 PM ET

NBA · Watch on ESPN Unlimited, NBC Sports Bay Area, Space City Home Network, NBC Sports Bay Area+

Both teams are 8-3 and separated by a tenth of a point in point differential. The Golden State Warriors have won 8 straight and the Houston Rockets are 5-1 at home. ESPN has it at 9:30, which makes the best game of the night also one of only 2 NBA games tonight that needs no regional network.

The Rest of the NBA Slate (8):

10 games tonight and only 2 on a national service, Cleveland at New York being the other ESPN window. The Lakers (10-2) have the best record in the league and visit a Milwaukee side that has lost 9 of 10. Everything here is regional otherwise, with League Pass as the out-of-market answer.

The Rest of the NHL Slate (3):

Edmonton are the draw here: 29 points and 2nd in the league, hosting a Philadelphia side that is 5-10-5. Nashville at Anaheim above is the closer game, with both clubs on 21 points and both on win streaks. ESPN+ carries all 3 of these out of market.

College Basketball, Ranked Hosts (4):

All 4 are buy games, so the draw is the roster rather than the result. The ranks come from the poll released Monday, which runs through games of November 8: UCLA have climbed to 9th, Houston to 8th, while Arkansas have slipped to 19th after a loss. Note that Tuesday’s results are not in those numbers yet.

More MACtion (2):

Buffalo (6-3) are the other team at 4-1 in the conference and have won 4 straight, which makes Ball State the most consequential of these 2. Sacramento State are 1-6 in league play and Central Michigan 2-3, so that one is for completists.
