Having passed a test against one tough defense, the Utah Jazz face another Sunday when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With four players just placed in COVID-19 protocols, including starting guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier, the Charlotte Hornets will have a mighty challenge while trying to salvage a win in the final leg of their four-game road trip Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Washington Wizards will be out to repeat their opening-night success when they pay a return visit to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

There is strong statistical evidence supporting the notion that the Houston Rockets are gaining confidence under second-year coach Stephen Silas.
