Predicting the best remaining NBA games this season

Lil Jon has good reason to turn down for NBA Saturday Primetime -- the game between the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC/WatchESPN) projects to be the best matchup between two teams this regular season, according to ESPN's NBA Basketball Power Index (BPI).

Matchup quality is a metric that combines the strength of the two teams with the projected margin of victory. The better the two teams and the closer the expected score, the higher the matchup quality rating.

With the NBA season officially halfway over as of Friday, let's take a look at the top five remaining games, predict the winners and determine what's at stake for playoff seeding, matchups and more.
