There are 10 games on Monday's slate, and with so many repeats of games, try not to get sucked into the blackhole that is past performances.

After a league-altering trade trade that sent James Harden to the Nets, all the attention has been focused on what is going to happen to the Rockets' and Nets' rotations.
