Washington at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past 5 1/2 weeks and look to win for the 18th time in 21 games when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Washington's only setback in its last 11 contests was a 140-135 overtime loss to defending champion Cleveland, and the hot stretch has allowed it to move into third place in the Eastern Conference.
Boston at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas aims for a team-record 41st consecutive 20-point performance Thursday, when the Boston Celtics close play prior to the All-Star break by visiting the Chicago Bulls. Thomas scored 33 points to match Hall-of-Famer John Havlicek's franchise mark of 40 set in 1971-72 as Boston posted a 116-108 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday.
