NBA Doubleheader on Peacock
This evening’s NBA doubleheader on Peacock highlights two exciting matchups, beginning at 7:00 PM ET as the Charlotte Hornets visit Rocket Arena to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Following this, the Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Memphis Grizzlies at 9:30 PM ET. Fans can catch all the action via Peacock and NBC, with Peacock providing coverage for 100 regular-season games during the 2025-2026 season.
Charlotte Hornets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
The Hornets are recovering from a tough 112-86 defeat against the Detroit Pistons over the weekend, where Miles Bridges and rookie Kon Knueppel contributed 19 points each. After being selected fourth overall in the 2025 draft, Knueppel is currently the second-leading scorer on the team and leads all first-year players with an impressive 19.4 points per game. Sitting at 9-19, the Hornets find themselves in 12th place within the Eastern Conference and are eager to avert their ninth consecutive losing season.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers have faced their fair share of difficulties, currently on a three-game losing streak, including a pair of back-to-back losses to the Chicago Bulls last week (127-111 and 136-125). The team has struggled with injuries to key players, as Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarett Allen have only been on the court together for four out of 29 games. Mitchell, who has led the squad with 30.7 points per game, was sidelined by an illness for the last matchup and remains a game-time decision for tonight.
