Kristaps Porzingis is flourishing as New York's leading scoring option and looks to help the Knicks to their fourth consecutive victory when they visit the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

The Boston Celtics are the hottest team in the NBA and will try to push their winning streak to double digits when they host the rival Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

The Phoenix Suns went through a stretch of four wins in five games after making a coaching change but have since dropped three in a row. The Suns reportedly engineered another major shakeup on Tuesday and will find out if that's the key to breaking out of the current rut at the expense of the struggling Miami Heat, who visit on Wednesday.

The Golden State Warriors wow fans with their offensive exploits, but they also do strong work on the other end of the floor. The Warriors, who led the NBA in defensive field-goal percentage en route to the championship last season, will try to follow up their best defensive performance of the 2017-18 campaign with another strong effort when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.
