2017-18 NBA Schedule: 5 Under-the-Radar Games to Circle on Your Calendar

5) Brooklyn Nets vs. Phoenix Suns - October 31, 2017

Yeah, we know, Nets-Suns ain't Cavs-Dubs, but this Halloween clash in Arizona between two eternally rebuilding teams could lead to buckets galore, and who doesn't love buckets galore?

Last year, Brooklyn and Phoenix ranked 1st and 2nd, respectively, in pace, and 29th and 30th, respectively, in points allowed. With so much speed and so little ball stopping, this could evolve (or devolve) into the kind of evening that would make the defensively challenged American Basketball Association proud.

You know who's looking way forward to this game, as well as the November 6 rematch in Brooklyn? Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, that's who. In his three career outings against the Suns, RHJ has averaged a whopping 22.6 points and 11.0 boards. Unless Suns stretch-four Dragan Bender (defensive box plus/minus: -0.3) studied up on his footwork over the summer, Hollis-Jefferson could be in for a repeat performance.
