Recap
There were 16 teams in action last night in the NBA, but only a few of them featured former Kentucky players. Enes Kanter was kept out due to back spasms while Nerlens Noel and Alex Poythress were also kept out for non-injury issues. Luckily, the Sacramento Kings and their three Cats were in action along with Julius Randle out in Los Angeles. Willie Cauley-Stein was easily the most impressive Wildcat from last night, posting 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 8-9 shooting. His play helped his team take down the Curry/Durant-less Golden State Warriors in a game where WCS showed his potential and versatility.

Tonight in the NBA Busy Tuesday night filled with plenty of Kentucky action. Wizards-Timberwolves will showcase the most star power with John Wall and Karl-Anthony Towns going at it. If you're looking for your fix of Kentucky players, Bucks-Suns should provide you exactly what you're looking for. 7:00 (NBATV): Heat (Adebayo) @ Cavaliers 8:00: Suns (Booker, Ulis, Knight) @ Bulls 8:00: Wizards (Wall, Meeks) @ Timberwolves (Towns) 10:00 (ESPN): Bucks (Bledsoe, Liggins) @ Kings (Cauley-Stein, Fox, Labissiere) 10:00: Nuggets (Murray, Lyles) @ Jazz Player to watch Karl-Anthony Towns is my player to watch tonight. He's been underwhelming over his past 10 or so games, especially on the defensive end. In his most recent game against the Phoenix Suns, he seemed to return to the KAT we are used to, but going up against the Wizards brutal frontcourt tonight won't be nearly as easy of a challenge.
