Another chapter will be written into the Anthony Edwards vs. Luka Dončić rivalry Friday.
What we know about Friday’s night games
- Amazon Prime Video is the home of two marquee match-ups Friday in Celtics-Knicks and Timberwolves-Lakers.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (toe/back) is active as the Bucks look to move to 2-0 versus the 1-0 Raptors. Antetokounmpo boomed for 37 points (16-26 FG), 14 rebounds and five assists in just 27 minutes as part of a dominant win Wednesday — kicking off a new campaign in which the ball could run through his hands in point-forward fashion.
- The Rockets and Pistons will be competing for their first win of the season, with Houston coming off Opening Night’s riveting double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Giannis Antetokounmpo getting going
When Antetokounmpo is in town it’s a bad night to be a rim. The 30-year-old led the league in dunks last season and shows no signs of slowing down.
The Bucks have opened up a 29-19 lead over the Raptors in the opening minute of the second quarter, with no other player exceeding seven points yet in the contest.
