April 03, 2014
San Antonio at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs have won a franchise-record 19 straight games to open up a four-game lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top spot in the Western Conference. The Thunder will look to end that winning streak and scratch a game off their deficit in the West when they host the Spurs on Thursday. San Antonio will be playing the second night of a back-to-back but was barely challenged in a 111-90 win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
Dallas at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks are locked in a three-team battle for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference as they enter Thursday’s pivotal road matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dallas is tied for seventh-place in the West after both Memphis and Phoenix lost games on Wednesday, and the contest against the Clippers is the first of a four-game road trip. Los Angeles clinched the Pacific Division crown by beating the Suns on Wednesday.
