The Washington Wizards were one of six teams in the NBA to win at least 30 games at home last season, but the tables have turned early in 2017-18. The Wizards will attempt to snap a three-game slide at Capital One Arena - and exact a measure of revenge for an earlier road loss - when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

The dynamic duo of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins is proving to be too big a handful for most opponents. Davis and Cousins will try to lead the New Orleans Pelicans to a fourth straight win when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

Dwyane Wade's criticism of the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting five was answered in a big way on Tuesday, at least offensively. Lebron James and his fellow Cavaliers starters will try to keep up their high level of production when they visit James Harden and the Houston Rockets on Thursday.

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't need star center Joel Embiid to run their winning streak to five games on Tuesday, but they won't be sad to see him return to the lineup.

The Oklahoma City Thunder insist they are just going through some growing pains as their superstars and supporting staff learn to play alongside each other, but the losses are starting to get ugly. The Thunder will try to avoid a fourth straight setback and bounce back from a loss to the lowly Sacramento Kings when they wrap up a three-game road trip by visiting the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.
