Starting lineups: Feb. 26

Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports

As is the norm on Thursday night, the Association is light on games with just two matchups on the schedule.

But you'll definitely want to tune in.

First up, the league-best Golden State Warriors travel east to face the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors have won five of their last six games and are 44-10. The Cavaliers, however, have rounded into form. LeBron James and his crew have won 17 of their last 19 contests.

The night cap calls for a clash between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns in a gradually fading race for the eighth and final playoff spot the West. The Thunder will be without Kevin Durant, but Russell Westbrook has been playing out of his mind (he recorded a triple-double in 27 minutes on Wednesday) and newcomer Enes Kanter has thrived, averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game on 58.1 percent shooting.
