Oklahoma City at Miami 7:30 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder can move above .500 for the first time all season when they travel to Miami to face the Heat on Tuesday. The Thunder started 3-12 while stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were battling injuries, but they've won two straight and seven of 11 to complete their climb out of the early hole. The Heat haven't seen .500 since the first week of December, but they've won three of four to maintain the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference.
San Antonio at Denver 9:00 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets’ up-and-down campaign just hit one of its lowest points in a 43-point loss to the Golden State Warriors. The Nuggets will get a chance to bounce right back and snap a three-game slide when they host the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in the second of a back-to-back on Tuesday. Denver had won five straight before its most recent slide, which includes a home loss to the Western Conference-worst Minnesota Timberwolves.
