The Chicago Bulls could be without All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler again when they finish a six-game road trip Sunday afternoon against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Butler missed three games earlier on the trip due to a nagging heel issue before returning to score 20 points in Friday's 115-97 loss at Phoenix.

The New York Knicks' disastrous homestand finally reaches an end Sunday afternoon, but unfortunately it comes in a nationally televised matchup with the mighty San Antonio Spurs.

The Toronto Raptors hope that some time off and a return home can get them pointed in the right direction, beginning with a matchup against the visiting Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Losers of nine of their last 13 - including a 112-109 setback at Minnesota on Wednesday - the Raptors enter this one after enjoying their first three-day break of the season.

Anthony Davis took care of one fellow former Kentucky star last time out and faces another Sunday night when his New Orleans Pelicans visit DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings. Davis poured in 42 points - his fourth outing with at least 31 in the last seven – as the Pelicans started a taxing four-game trip with a 122-106 victory over former Wildcat standout Karl-Anthony Towns and Minnesota on Friday.
