Another slate of regular-season NBA matchups is on tap for tonight. Six games are scheduled, with several holding significant implications for the participating teams. You can follow all the action live here.
The night tips off with two games at 02:00 AM (local time). The first, between the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls, is primarily for bragging rights.
However, the other early matchup promises far more intrigue as the Toronto Raptors host the Miami Heat. The Raptors are battling for a direct playoff spot and desperately need a win.
The next two contests begin at 02:30 AM (local time). The Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers have little to play for, having already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics are set to clash in a monumental battle for the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
At 03:00 AM (local time), the Houston Rockets welcome the Philadelphia 76ers. This game is particularly crucial for the Sixers, who are still fighting for a top-six spot in the East. The Rockets are more comfortable with their standing but aim to finish as high as possible in the Western Conference.
The final game of the night pits the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. While both teams' fates are largely sealed, this matchup is still highly anticipated.
