NBA Immaculate Grid answers for October 19: All answers and hints for Basketball Grid

The 87th edition of the NBA Immaculate Grid is out for fans to test their basketball knowledge.

With the preseason just starting, the grid has become a favorite among basketball fans. A puzzle each day has kept boredom away for hoop fanatics who can't wait for the new season to start.

The Immaculate Grid is more stringent than other basketball puzzles, as fans need to get each cell correct with every try. Failure to do so would mean that the entire grid remains unsolved. Thus, the term “immaculate," which is taken from baseball's immaculate or perfect inning, is apt for the game.
