The NBA Thursday preview is up! Basketball fans will have six games tonight, one less than yesterday's seven.

Golden State Warriors (34-32) @ Memphis Grizzlies (38-26) – 7:30 PM
The first game of our list is the matchup between West’s #3 and #5. Currently in third, the Grizzlies play at home versus the Warriors, and both teams want to end a sequence of losses. The favourites in this game are the Warriors, even though they are playing on the road, by 2.5 points.

Brooklyn Nets (37-28) @ Milwaukee Bucks (47-18) – 8:00 PM
The Brooklyn Nets were the second in the East at one point of the season. However, after the departures of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, their performance decreased and also did their position on the table. Tonight they visit East leaders Bucks, who won 18 of the last 19 games. As it couldn’t be different, the Bucks are favourites by 12 points.
