Orlando Magic vs. Atlanta Hawks

Our first game on Monday begins streaming on Peacock at 7 p.m. ET and features the Orlando Magic heading north to face the Atlanta Hawks in a battle of Eastern Conference playoff contenders. The Magic are in the top six in the East right now, while the Hawks are in Play-In Tournament territory and looking to improve. The Hawks have home court advantage, but the Magic have won both previous meetings between the teams this season, so it should be a battle.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets

Game 2, tipping off at 9 p.m. ET, is a huge showdown in the Western Conference, as Luka Doncic and the LA Lakers head to Houston to face Kevin Durant and the Rockets. The Thunder and the Spurs have a lock on dominance in the West, but the battle for third place is virtually in a dead heat between these two teams and a few others, so playoff seeding is on the line.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Clippers

And speaking of the Spurs, we wrap up the Peacock NBA Monday tripleheader on the West Coast at 10 p.m. ET, as San Antonio heads to LA to face the Clippers. Victor Wembanyama and the rest of the San Antonio crew are not just second in the West, but they've been one of the few teams to consistently beat the league-leading Thunder this season, so they're arguably better than any team in the East. They'll face a Clippers squad led by Kawhi Leonard that's surged back into playoff contention over the last couple of months. The Clippers might not make it to an automatic playoff berth, but they're setting themselves up as one of the teams to watch in the West come Play-In Tournament time, and an upset win over the Spurs would go a long way to keeping their momentum.
