Impact’s lineup for tonight: Mickie James addresses the Knockouts Division; W.

Your NBA on TNT doubleheader is Lakers/Sixers, then Wolves/Warriors. No Hockey Night on ESPN because it’s a World Cup Qualifier day for both North and South America. The North American league sees Jamaica v Mexico, USA v El Salvador, Honduras v Canada, and Costa Rica v Panama. The South American league sees Ecuador v Brazil, Paraguay v Uruguay, Chile v Argentina, Colombia v Peru, and Venezuela v Bolivia. Home team listed first. Team USA will be on ESPN2 from Columbus, Ohio, on the grounds that when you get to play El Salvador in Ohio in January, you should.
One of the indies’ biggest events is upon us, but there’s more than one show to talk about.
