It’s not a full slate of NBA games on Friday, Jan. 9, but there are 10 games lined up with action taking place across the country and starting at all different times.

Rare conditions aligned to create slippery condensation on the basketball court, forcing Thursday night's game in Chicago to be postponed.

The NBA announced last week that more than 47 million people in the U.S. watched at least some of the five-game Christmas slate on ABC and ESPN, which represents a 45% increase over last year. There was an average of 5.5 million viewers for the games, up 4% from a year ago.

Luka Dončić (30 pts, 10 ast) led the way as the Lakers earned a road win over the Pelicans 111-103. LeBron James added 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, while Trey Murphy III was the top man for New Orleans with 42 points.

The reason for this success isn’t a secret, either. Their three stars – Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George – are all healthy and finally seem to be finding chemistry. The Sixers also have a fair amount of depth beyond those big names, with contributors like VJ Edgecombe (16.4 PPG) chipping in on many nights.
