With only a few weeks left in the regular season, we have a surprisingly weak slate of League Pass games, largely because of the larger national TV profile with the first two weekends of the NCAA Tournament done.

There are still plenty of worthwhile, interesting and important games though, including Nuggets/Blazers and a big week of road games for the Washington Wizards, which includes the Game of the Week in Oakland on Sunday.

Monday

Magic at Raptors, 7:30 p.m.: Every game counts in the race for the third-seed in the East and the Raptors would benefit from closing this out early. Aaron Gordon and Serge Ibaka going at it for the first quarter will be intriguing on both sides of the floor.

Thunder at Mavericks, 8:30 p.m.: Sunday’s loss in Houston makes it less likely that Oklahoma City can work their way into the 4/5 matchup but they still have a shot, and seeing if Seth Curry can hold his own against Russell Westbrook (largely by hitting open threes, presumably) will be a good calibrator for the Thunder on a back-to-back. 

Grizzlies at Kings, 10:30 p.m.: The Kings had one of the most shocking wins of the season Sunday, coming back late on the Clippers. Both teams will be on the tail end of back-to-backs, opening the door for Dave Joerger’s new squad to pull a second surprise in a row.

Tuesday

Timberwolves at Pacers, 7 p.m.: Even though it does not look like the young Wolves will make the playoffs, they can still play spoiler in a few key remaining games. Plus, Karl-Anthony Towns competing against fellow 2015 draftee Myles Turner will be worth watching.

Heat at Pistons, 7:30 p.m.: Miami’s second half surge has brought them firmly into the playoff mix but a loss in Boston on Sunday made the road a little harder. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could also spend some serious time guarding Goran Dragic, which would be a nice challenge for him.

Nuggets at Trail Blazers, 10 p.m.: With Denver’s recent struggles, this looks more like a must-win for them but still the game with the clearest playoff implications of any League Pass contest this week. Also the return game for Mason Plumlee in Portland.

Wednesday

Bucks at Celtics, 7:30 p.m.: A fun matchup that could also serve as a first round preview if Milwaukee slips off the pace. Jae Crowder will likely defend Giannis, Malcolm Brogdon gets a chance to guard Isaiah Thomas and Kris Middleton could play a significant role.

Pacers at Grizzlies, 8 p.m.: Two teams that just seem strange against each other, which could make it compelling. Paul George and the Pacers have struggled on the road but a win in Memphis could firm up their seeding in the East.

Wizards at Clippers, 10:30 p.m.: Chris Paul and John Wall are the deserving headliners here but keep an eye on how both teams’ centers handle pick and roll due to the intense chemistry each point guard has with his center.

Thursday

Nets at Pistons, 7:30 p.m.: Looks more like a lottery special than anything at this point but the Nets’ feistiness since getting closer to full strength could become a more significant story with a win here.

Lakers at Timberwolves, 8 p.m.: The Lakers pulled defeat out of the jaws of lottery victory against Minnesota last week and now the Wolves have a chance to return the favor on their home floor. 

Clippers at Suns, 10 p.m.: In normal circumstances, a game like this would not make the list but Devin Booker’s explosion in Boston justifies its inclusion.

Friday

Pacers at Raptors, 7 p.m.: These two teams have a history and could very well end up facing each other again this year. Paul George guarding DeMar DeRozan will be even more significant with Kyle Lowry still out.

Nuggets at Hornets, 7 p.m.: After Nuggets/Blazers, this will be a good calibrator for how Denver is approaching the playoff chase. Jamal Murray vs. Kemba Walker will be engaging when it happens.

Wizards at Jazz, 9 p.m.: One of the most fascinating games of the week, especially if both teams play up to their potential. The Wizards have struggled to guard high-end small forwards this year and Gordon Hayward will challenge Otto Porter the entire night.

Saturday

Magic at Nets, 6 p.m.: Lottery special and another game the Nets could use to make Celtics fans even more uncomfortable.

Kings at Timberwolves, 8 p.m.: Minnesota can dramatically improve their draft position with losses to fellow lottery teams like the Kings, who are also looking to make the best of their situation. Also, the prospect of Skal vs. Towns is incredibly exciting.

Suns at Trail Blazers, 10 p.m.: The Devin Booker exception applies here as well, particularly since Portland’s guards are not exactly defensive stalwarts. We should also see Marquese Chriss and Noah Vonleh start against each other, which is strangely intriguing. 

Sunday

Mavericks at Bucks, 3:30 p.m.: Harrison Barnes has played well this season in a larger role and may have to guard Giannis while also taking his share of shots. It will also be a useful piece of information in terms of how Jason Kidd and the Bucks will defend floor-spacing big men with their starting five and other configurations. 

Pacers at Cavs, 6 p.m.: Paul George vs. LeBron James will always make this list and these teams could be facing off in a few weeks, depending on how it all shakes out. 

Wizards at Warriors, 5 p.m. (Game of the Week): After three high-profile games earlier in the week against the Spurs and Rockets, the Warriors finish the week against the Wizards in a fascinating contest. John Wall and Bradley Beal have been excellent this season but will have to work on both ends of the floor to stay competitive in what would be a massive win for them.
