🚨Top Storylines🚨
- Oklahoma City looks to extend their seven-game win streak tonight when they host Memphis. The Thunder may get Jalen Williams back in this one after he went through shootaround this morning, but we’ll keep an eye out for confirmation. He’s missed their last seven games because of a hip injury. The Grizzlies need a win to keep up with Denver (No. 3 in West) and the Lakers (No. 4 in West), who both won last night.
- The Bulls go for their second win over the Lakers in five days, winning in convincing fashion in LA last Saturday, 146-115. Chicago won three straight to close out a six-game trip out West to stay at ninth in the East. Los Angeles is coming off a game-winning tip-in by LeBron James to escape Indiana with a win, snapping their three-game skid in the process.
- Orlando will try for their fourth consecutive win when they take on the Dallas Mavericks at home. This game has huge playoff implications for both squads, with the Magic only a half-game back from Atlanta for seventh, while the Mavs can move ahead of Phoenix for tenth.
