After a two-week hiatus, NBA Coast 2 Coast Tuesday continues with a doubleheader featuring two star-studded showdowns.
In the 10:30 p.m. ET game, the Houston Rockets and 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant will continue their six-game road trip with their second matchup against 11-time All-Star James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers, who just snapped a five-game losing streak Saturday with a 103-88 victory over the Lakers.

It’s the second of five games between the teams. On Dec. 11, Houston won 115-113 at home after Amen Thompson‘s three-point play with 17.2 seconds left put the Rockets ahead.
In the 8 p.m. ET tipoff Tuesday night, the Dallas Mavericks and No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg will try to snap the road winning streak of three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, who have won a team-record 11 consecutive games away from home. It’s second of two meetings for the teams; Dallas won 131-121 at Denver on Dec. 1.
