The Philadelphia 76ers aim for their fifth straight win and ninth in their past 10 games when they visit the Washington Wizards on Thursday. Philadelphia has won by an average of six points during the streak with Monday's 103-94 home win over the Utah Jazz representing the largest differential.

Coming off a 44-point loss at Milwaukee, their seventh straight defeat, the New York Knicks are in another tailspin that could end up costing head coach David Fizdale his job. With the pressure building on Fizdale, the Knicks will try again to end their latest slide when they host the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.

James Harden has scored a whopping 110 points over the past two games and the Houston star looks for another high-octane effort when the Rockets visit the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. Harden recorded his fourth career 60-point outing against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday and followed up with 50 during Tuesday's 135-133 double-overtime loss to the host San Antonio Spurs.

The New Orleans Pelicans look to halt a six-game losing streak when they host the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. New Orleans is waiting on projected impact rookie Zion Williamson (knee surgery) to make his NBA debut and the club is suffering in the meantime.
