Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
Russell Westbrook's career triple-double count is now higher than the legendary Larry Bird, and he looks to add to his total when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Westbrook recorded his 60th triple-double in Wednesday's 114-105 victory over New Orleans to break a tie with Bird and move into fifth place on the all-time list.
Indiana at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
Karl-Anthony Towns had his chance to carry the young Minnesota Timberwolves, and Andrew Wiggins is stepping up to join him. Towns and Wiggins will try to lead the Timberwolves to a season-high fourth straight win and seventh in the last nine games when they host the slumping Indiana Pacers on Thursday.
Phoenix at Denver 9:00 PM ET
Nikola Jokic's sudden rise is helping the Denver Nuggets in the win column and redefining the expectations for the team, which finds itself in the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference. Jokic will try to guide the Nuggets to a sixth win in the last eight games when they host the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
L.A. Lakers at Utah 10:30 PM ET
The Utah Jazz followed up a season-best six-game winning streak with back-to-back defeats and look to halt the skid when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Utah played four games in five nights and dropped the last two, including dragging through a 103-93 road loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
