Thanksgiving weekend is over and it's time to go back to work. Thankfully there's a full night of NBA basketball waiting for you when you get home.
There are seven games on the schedule, and the Hornets got things started with an impressive win over the Bucks. Then, the Wizards showed signs of life, beating the Rockets in overtime despite 54 points from James Harden.
Later on, two more underperforming squads will go head-to-head, as the Celtics take on the Pelicans. And to close the night, the Magic will look to continue their winning ways when they take on the mighty Warriors.
Here's everything you need to know about Monday night's NBA action.
NBA schedule for Monday, Nov. 26
*All times Eastern
Harden goes for 54, but Wizards beat Rockets
James Harden broke out the headband on Monday night, and apparently he should do that more often, because with it on he went for 54 points and 13 assists on 17-of-32 shooting. It wasn't enough for the Rockets though, as the Wizards took them down in overtime. John Wall (36 points) and Bradley Beal (32) combined for 68 points to lead the way for Washington. This is the third win in four games for the Wizards.
Rozier beats the first-quarter buzzer
The Celtics got off to a great start in the first quarter against the Pelicans, capped off by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Terry Rozier.
Aldridge, LaVine trade slams in Chicago
LaMarcus Aldridge and Zach LaVine got the Spurs-Bulls matchup off to a fun start. First, Aldridge flew in from the baseline for a putback slam, then LaVine showed off his athleticism by adjusting in mid-air for a nice running dunk.
Wall gets crafty on the break
John Wall and the Wizards are off to a tough start this season, but Wall is still more than capable of getting on the highlight reel, as he showed against the Rockets. Out on the fastbreak, Wall wrapped the ball around his back to avoid the defense.
Hornets combine for triple block
We see blocks every single game in the NBA, but we rarely see three players combine for a block. But that's what happened in the first quarter in Charlotte, as Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeremy Lamb and Marvin Williams all rose up to deny Khris Middleton.
Covington swats it off the backboard
Collin Sexton thought he had an easy layup against the Timberwolves, but Robert Covington had other ideas. The former Sixers came over from the weak side and smacked the ball off the backboard.
Rockets catch fire early
The Rockets are trying to bounce back from a surprising loss to the Cavaliers over the weekend, and starting 7-of-7 from 3-point land is a good way to do that.
Mitchell, Oladipo out for Pacers-Jazz matchup
The Pacers-Jazz matchup in Utah has lost some luster after it was announced that both Victor Oladipo and Donovan Mitchell will miss the game. Oladipo hasn't played since Nov. 17 against the Hawks, and is dealing with a sore knee. Mitchell, meanwhile, will miss his second straight game due to sore ribs.
Green still sidelined for Warriors
Draymond Green's lingering toe issue will once again force him to the bench as the Warriors take on the Magic. Green has played just twice in the Warriors' last 10 games, though one of those absences (suspension) was due to his incident with Kevin Durant. During Green's absence -- which has coincided with a groin injury to Steph Curry -- the Warriors are just 4-6.
Paul out again for Rockets
The Rockets will once again be without point guard Chris Paul when they take on the Wizards on Monday night. Paul missed the Rockets' game on Saturday night against the Cavaliers for rest, but this time it is a leg injury keeping the veteran out of the lineup.
