COAST 2 COAST TUESDAY: BUCKS-76ERS; CLIPPERS-JAZZ

Coast 2 Coast Tuesday presents a doubleheader on NBC and Peacock this Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks (18-25) visit Tyrese Maxey, ranked third in the NBA in scoring, and the Philadelphia 76ers (23-19) from Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pa., on Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Antetokounmpo was named an Eastern Conference All-Star Game starter on Monday for his 10th consecutive starting selection to the prestigious game, the longest current streak in the NBA. Antetokounmpo is amid another MVP-level season, averaging 28.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game while shooting a career-best 64.7% from the floor.

Maxey was named an All-Star Game Eastern Conference starter on Monday for the first time in his young, but prolific career thus far. The 2024 NBA Most Improved Player is averaging 30 points per game, one of only three players in the NBA averaging 30+. Philadelphia is also led by 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid, nine-time NBA All-Star Paul George, and ascendant rookie V.J. Edgecombe.

NBC Sports’ Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller (analyst), and Zora Stephenson (courtside reporter) will call Bucks-76ers.

In the second game of the night, two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers (19-24) visit 2023 NBA All-Star Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz (15-29) from Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Jan. 27 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

After a subpar start to the season, the Clippers have won 13 of their last 16 games to insert themselves back into playoff contention. 2018 NBA MVP James Harden ranks 12th in the NBA in scoring and recently passed Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal to move into No. 9 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Leonard, when healthy, has been a dominant offensive force, averaging nearly 30 points per game in January.

The Jazz are coming off a win over the Timberwolves that saw third-year guard Keyonte George score a career-high 43 points and veteran big man Jusuf Nurkic post his second-career triple-double with 16 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists. The Jazz are also led by Markkanen and 2025 No. 5 overall pick Ace Bailey.

This will be the first Jazz game on NBC since Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round on April 27, 2002, in which Utah, led by Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers John Stockton and Karl Malone, fell to Sacramento, 90-87.

NBC Sports’ Mark Followill (play-by-play), three-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford (analyst), and Grant Liffmann (courtside reporter) will call Clippers-Jazz.

Live coverage on Tuesday night begins at 7 p.m. ET with NBA Showtime, hosted by NBC Sports’ Maria Taylor alongside Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady.

The second game of the night sees recently-named NBA All-Star Eastern Conference starter Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics (27-16) host Deni Avdija, ranked 11th in the NBA in scoring, and the Portland Trail Blazers (22-22) from TD Garden in Boston, Mass., on Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN.

Brown led the Celtics with 30 points and 10 rebounds in their win over the Pacers on Wednesday night. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP is averaging a career-high 29.8 points per game this season and has notched 50-point and 41-point games in the month of January alone.

Portland has won eight of its last 10 games, featuring wins over the Western Conference’s best in the Lakers, Spurs, and Rockets. Avdija leads the Trail Blazers with a career-high 26.2 points per game, while 2024 No. 7 overall pick Donovan Clingan ranks fourth in the NBA with 10.9 rebounds per game – one of only eight players in the NBA averaging double-digit rebounds.

NBC Sports’ Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Grant Hill (analyst), and Ashley ShahAhmadi (courtside reporter) will call Trail Blazers-Celtics.

Following Trail Blazers-Celtics, two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (26-20) visit three-time NBA All-Star Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves (27-17) from Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., on Jan. 26 at 9:30 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN.

Warriors-Timberwolves will feature “On the Bench” coverage, NBC Sports’ production innovation that dedicates one analyst to each team and positions that analyst courtside with their team, allowing for the analysts to be immersed in the action of their respective teams and delivering information straight from the bench. NBC Sports’ Michael Grady will call the action with Robbie Hummel and Austin Rivers as “On the Bench” analysts. Hummel will be dedicated to the Warriors and Rivers with the Timberwolves.

Curry was named an All-Star Game starter for the 12th time in his illustrious career. The four-time NBA champion is now one of only 17 players in NBA history with 12 or more All-Star Game appearances with a single franchise. Curry is also the reigning NBA All-Star Game Kobe Bryant Most Valuable Player, earning the honor at last year’s game.

Edwards is amid a career year, averaging just shy of 30 points per game and leading Minnesota 10 games over .500. He scored a season-high 55 points in a three-point loss to the Spurs last week, scoring 26 points and going five-for-seven from the three-point-line in the fourth quarter alone.

Live coverage on Monday night begins at 6:30 p.m. ET with NBA Showtime, hosted by NBC Sports’ Ahmed Fareed alongside Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas, and NBA veteran NBC Sports Bay area Warriors analyst Kelenna Azubuike, who played for the Warriors from 2007-2010.
