Memphis at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Orlando Magic are winners of three in a row as they try to chase down the Miami Heat for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Memphis Grizzlies, who visit the Magic on Friday, are no longer in playoff contention in the West but are giving postseason teams tough battles of late, including a win over Orlando at home earlier this month.
L.A. Clippers at Cleveland 7:30 PM ET
The Western Conference is packed tight enough that the Los Angeles Clippers still have a shot at homecourt advantage in a first-round series thanks to a strong run of play that includes wins in three straight games and eight of the last nine. The Clippers will try to stay hot when they open a four-game road trip at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Denver at New York 7:30 PM ET
As they continue to fight for first place in the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets take aim at the team occupying last place in the East when they visit the New York Knicks on Friday. The Nuggets utilized a remarkably balanced attack with five different players scoring 15 points in Thursday's 113-108 victory at Washington - their fifth win in a row.
Oklahoma City at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder attempt to end a four-game losing streak when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Friday in the second contest of a home-and-home set between the teams. The Raptors blew a 20-point lead in Wednesday's tilt in Oklahoma City before recovering to post a 123-114 overtime victory.
San Antonio at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs saw their nine-game winning streak snapped but look to remain hot when they visit the Houston Rockets on Friday. San Antonio won nine straight games before losing 110-105 to the visiting Miami Heat on Wednesday and is opening a three-game road swing with the Rockets.
Miami at Milwaukee 8:30 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks own the best record in the NBA and are trying to lock up homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs while getting their key players healthy for next month and beyond. The Miami Heat, who visit the Bucks on Friday, are trying to earn their way into the postseason and possible date with Milwaukee in the opening round.
Brooklyn at L.A. Lakers 10:30 PM ET
D'Angelo Russell is an All-Star guard who continues to get better as the Brooklyn Nets arrive in Los Angeles to face his former club, the Lakers, on Friday. Russell is coming off a career-best 44-point performance in a contest in which the Nets overcame a 25-point, fourth-quarter deficit to post a 123-121 road win over the Sacramento Kings.
