The New York Knicks are one loss away from establishing the longest losing streak in a franchise history spanning more than 70 seasons.

The new-look Toronto Raptors had just enough to get past one team from New York City on Saturday night. They will try to push their winning streak to five straight when they take on the other team from the Big Apple on Monday, when the Brooklyn Nets pay a visit.

The Milwaukee Bucks own the best record in the NBA and have yet to drop back-to-back games this season but looked like a different team with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup.

James Harden will try to push his streak of 30-point games to 30 in a row when he leads the Houston Rockets into a home matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

The Los Angeles Clippers seemed to signal a shift toward the future with the trade of leading scorer Tobias Harris to Philadelphia before the deadline but instead put together one of their most impressive performances of the season on Saturday.

Russell Westbrook will aim to become the first NBA player to record 10 consecutive triple-doubles when he leads the Oklahoma City Thunder into a matchup with the visiting Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.

The Denver Nuggets hope to avoid matching a season-high four-game losing streak and to strengthen their hold on second place in the Western Conference when they host the road-weary Miami Heat on Monday. The Nuggets allowed an average of 132 points in two straight losses before giving Philadelphia all it could handle in a 117-110 setback Friday, and starts a stretch in which they play six of seven at home where they are an NBA-best 23-4.
