There are a handful of intriguing matchups on the Thursday NBA hoops card, including last year's NBA Finals rematch between the Nuggets and Heat.
Nikola Jokic will look to continue his dominance over the Heat, and keep the surging Nuggets within shouting distance of the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference ahead of the postseason. The team at the top of the conference is the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are big favorites against the San Antonio Spurs, but all eyes will be on the two contenders for Rookie of the Year, Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama.
Lastly, another surging Eastern Conference contender, the Orlando Magic, will look to keep up with the Heat in the Southeast standings at home against the Utah Jazz.
