With just two games left in their 2020-21 NBA season, the Oklahoma City Thunder return home to host two Western Conference powers.
First up on Friday night, OKC will host the Utah Jazz who sport the NBA’s best record.
Without the services of
Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz have continued to battle with the Phoenix Suns atop the Western Conference, and are looking to secure home court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Minnesota Timberwolves (20-45) wrap a three-game homestand on Wednesday night as they face the Memphis Grizzlies (32-32) at Target Center.
The Wolves return to the hardwood following three days of rest, falling to the New Orleans Pelicans 140-136 in overtime on Saturday. Anthony Edwards tallied a team-high 29 points in the loss while Karl-Anthony Towns added 28. The defeat snapped Minnesota s four-game winning streak, moving them to 6-4 in their previous 10 games.
The Grizzlies continue to vie for playoff positioning, currently sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference, just behind the Golden State Warriors and the eighth seed. With just eight games left for Memphis, a Grizzlies-Warriors matchup is most likely in the play-in tournament s first round, but the owner of the eighth seed will secure the matchup on their home floor.
