Just call him Evgeni the Kid ... or not.

A few things to look out for tonight as visions of Big Ben in a Cavs uniform dance in your head:

Penguins vs. Canadiens (7ET, NHL Open Ice)
As Evgeni Malkin continues to step up with Sid still nursing an ankle injury, the Pens should look to go up early. But remember, when you're playing the Habs, a 5-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey.

Sonics vs. Portland (10:30ET, TNT)
When TNT booked this game, they were hoping for the drama of Oden-Durant. What they got was a 2012 Conference Finals preview.

UNC vs. Miami (7ET)
Yes it's a women's game. But don't you think Blue Devil fans will take any sort of schadenfreude they can get right now?

High School BBall: American Christian vs. #1 St. Anthony (9ET, ESPN)
With the new NBA requirements, we won't see another LeBron-like ascension into the league, which means AC's Tyreke Evans will be making someone at Memphis, Texas or 'Nova very happy next year.

Celebrity Apprentice (9ET, NBC)
Watch former heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis mix it up with a group even scrappier than a gym of sparring partners: desperate B-listers.

We Remember (Ok, some of us saw it SportsCentury)
Tonight at midnight marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Dennis Johnson, a man Larry Legend once called "the best player I ever played with." Without his surehanded layup after a quick Bird feed in the '87 Conference Finals, "Bird Steals the Ball" would have never been.
