Another interesting week on League Pass, featuring a nice mix of matchups of teams at various levels of contention.

The headliner is Monday’s Rockets/Spurs contest but there are plenty of other worthwhile games and the busier March slates also open the door for great #LeaguePassAlert situations all over the schedule.

Monday

Warriors at Hawks, 7:30 p.m.: The Warriors have become a substantially more interesting regular season team with Kevin Durant’s injury, and the Paul Millsap vs. Draymond Green matchup will be fun as well.

Trail Blazers at Timberwolves, 8 p.m.: These teams are only a game and a half apart entering the week and the Wolves have been coming on strong the last month or so. It will be fascinating to see how Portland tries to defend Karl-Anthony Towns. 

Rockets at Spurs, 8:30 p.m. (Game of the Week): While this game certainly could be ruined by strategic rest, it looks like these teams will finish with two of the top three records in the league this season. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will try to slow down James Harden and the loaded Houston offense.

Pelicans at Jazz, 9 p.m.: New Orleans’ new-look frontline faces another team that starts two traditional big men. Utah squeaked out a win in Sacramento last night and will need to start strong on the back-to-back.

Tuesday

Lakers at Mavericks, 8 p.m.: Dallas’ shocking playoff push continues with a game against the Lakers. Keep an eye on Nerlens Noel’s defense and whether Seth Curry can put up another big night.

Wizards at Suns, 9 p.m.: More of an “it’s on” inclusion than anything else but the guard duel could be fun and the Suns have some big home wins this year, especially against East teams.

Wednesday

Raptors at Pelicans, 8 p.m.: Serge Ibaka vs. Anthony Davis for the first time since he joined the Raptors. Plus, a competitive point guard battle and an absolute war on the offensive and defensive glass.

Jazz at Rockets, 8 p.m.: A potential playoff preview in the first or second round that is also a massive clash in styles. Utah beat Houston pretty convincingly the last time they played but they split the season series with this being the third and final game. 

Clippers at Timberwolves, 8 p.m.: The Clippers are still looking to find their footing even after Chris Paul’s return and will face an underrated challenge here. Presumably Doc will put Blake Griffin on Towns for some stretches which will be intriguing.

Thursday

Cavs at Pistons, 7:30 p.m.: The kind of win the Pistons need if they are going to make their way back into the playoffs, presumably to face the Cavs again. 

Clippers at Grizzlies, 8 p.m.: An absolutely brutal back-to-back for the Clippers ends with a matchup featuring plenty of history and genuine animosity. Paul vs. Conley and Gasol vs. Jordan will be excellent.

Friday

Pacers at Bucks, 8 p.m.: Milwaukee still has an outside shot at a playoff berth but need to keep up their home momentum against quality opponents. Plus, Paul George and Giannis going at it. 

Raptors at Hawks, 8 p.m.: A potential first round preview though hopefully Kyle Lowry will be ready to play when that time comes. Millsap vs. Ibaka and how the Hawks choose to defend DeMar DeRozan will be worthwhile storylines.

Celtics at Nuggets, 9 p.m.: A fascinating contest made even more compelling by the fact that they only play twice per season. Nikola Jokic has been excellent since taking over the starting center spot but Al Horford could be well-suited to handling his unusual strengths.

Saturday

Jazz at Thunder, 3 p.m.: Excellent matinee game with star power and the potential for compelling basketball. Last time they played, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder are 2-0 against Utah this season and the Jazz would love to get a little revenge and stay ahead in the standings.

Timberwolves at Bucks, 8 p.m.: Even with Jabari Parker and Zach LaVine out, this still features two fun young teams still playing competitively.

Wizards at Trail Blazers, 10 p.m.: Two of the league’s most dynamic backcourts go at it and both teams have plenty to play for with about a month left in the regular season. Jusuf Nurkic and Marcin Gortat battling every possession will be intense as well.

Sunday

Knicks at Nets, 6 p.m.: Not quite an afternoon start but still distinct enough to make it interesting. Brooklyn has looked better since Jeremy Lin’s return and a win here could also help send the Knicks down the path they should be on for the rest of this season anyway.

Trail Blazers at Suns, 9 p.m.: A potential trap game for the Blazers that could also be a big night for Devin Booker.

76ers at Lakers, 9:30 p.m.: Another year, another example of a late-season game between these two teams holding massive lottery/draft pick relevance. A Sixers loss not only helps their odds but also increases the chances they secure two lottery picks this season.
