Atlanta Hawks (29-22) - Indiana Pacers (26-23)

The Hawks are seeking a return to consistency from leading scorer Paul Millsap, who's been held to 9.8 points on 33.3 percent shooting in his last four games dating to an ankle injury suffered against Indiana. He was limited to four points in 13 minutes and has averaged 10.6 points and shot 39.8 percent in the last nine meetings.

Blessés :

- Hawks : Tiago Splitter (?)

- Pacers : Rodney Stuckey, Ian Mahinmi (?)

Charlotte Hornets (24-25) - Miami Heat (28-22)

"It was a much better response to who we want to be on the road," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Coaches love these kind of games. Our confidence was in our feeling that we could get stops on the other end. That has to be who we become every single night."

The Heat are 14-1 when allowing 90 points or fewer, and 18-1 when opponents shoot 41 percent or worse.

Hassan Whiteside's presence in the middle helps. With Whiteside sidelined for six games due to a left hip injury, opponents averaged 98 points - up from the league's second best mark of 95.8 - but he immediately made an impact in his return against Dallas with 10 points, nine rebounds and five blocks in 17 minutes. Whiteside leads the league with 163 blocks.

Blessés :

- Hornets : Al Jefferson, Kemba Walker (?)

- Heat : Chris Andersen, Tyler Johnson

Orlando Magic (21-27) - Los Angeles Clippers (32-17)

Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers attributed a puzzling loss to the NBA's "silly season," and Chris Paul felt losing a winnable game could be damaging.They have another such contest to start a four-game trip Friday night when they face a struggling Orlando Magic team that continues to endure tough luck.

Blessés :

- Magic : CJ Watson, DeWayne Dedmon (?)

- Clippers : Blake Griffin

Washington Wizards (21-26) - Philadelphie 76ers (7-42)

With their margin for error lessening with each mounting loss, the Washington Wizards need to take advantage of every remaining opportunity to extend their postseason streak.

Blessés :

- Wizards : Alan Anderson, Kris Humphries (?)

- Sixers : Joel Embiid

Cleveland Cavaliers (35-13) - Boston Celtics (29-22)

Gaining confidence and in search of a test, the Boston Celtics are getting one of their biggest of the season Friday night.

The surging Celtics visit the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time since being swept in last year's playoffs.

Boston (29-22) has won 10 of 13, averaging 110.5 points after putting up 100.5 during a 6-9 stretch.

Blessés :

- Cavaliers : Matthew Dellavedova (?)

- Celtics : Jae Crowder (?)

New-York Knicks (23-29) - Memphis Grizzlies (29-20)

Now Gasol and Green are thriving with Memphis in the midst of a historic scoring run.

The reeling New York Knicks had no answer for Gasol last month and will face him Friday night after a difficult loss in the first of back-to-back games. They're looking to avoid a sixth straight loss in this series and deny the visiting Grizzlies their longest winning streak in a year.

Blessés :

- Knicks : Cleanthony Early, Jose Calderon (?)

- Grizzlies : Jordan Adams, Brandan Wright, Matt Barnes

Utah Jazz (23-25) - Milwaukee Bucks (20-31)

The Utah Jazz are enjoying their longest win streak of the season with a fairly straightforward obstacle left on what has been a successful six-game homestand.

The Jazz have won 13 straight at home over the Milwaukee Bucks entering Friday night's matchup of teams headed in opposite directions.

Utah (23-25) fell 95-92 to Detroit to open this homestand Jan. 25 before winning the next four for its longest run since a six-game streak in March. The Jazz are battling Houston and Portland for the Western Conference's final two postseason berths.

Blessés :

- Jazz : Dante Exum, Alec Burks

- Bucks : Greivis Vasquez, OJ Mayo, John Henson (?)

Dallas Mavericks (28-24) - San Antonio Spurs (41-8)

The only teams to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in 2016 are the conference leaders.

Almost all the good teams are beating the Dallas Mavericks this year.

The Spurs are among them, and they'll look to blow out their Southwest Division rival for the second time in three weeks behind a surging LaMarcus Aldridge on Friday night in Dallas.

San Antonio (41-8) can match the best 50-game start in franchise history, set in 2010-2011, after notching the best home start in Western Conference history at 27-0 with Wednesday's 110-97 win over New Orleans.

Blessés :

- Mavericks : Deron Williams (?), Devin Harris (?), Salah Mejri (?)

- Spurs : Tim Duncan (?)

1h30 : Brooklyn Nets (12-38) – Sacramento Kings (21-28)

DeMarcus Cousins' return wasn't enough to stop the Sacramento Kings' recent struggles or their season-long defensive issues.

The Brooklyn Nets could provide a remedy for both when the slumping Kings begin an important eastern trip Friday night.

A season-high five-game winning streak vaulted Sacramento (21-28) into eighth place in the Western Conference on Jan. 24, but it's since dropped to 10th due to a 1-5 stretch and surges from Portland and Utah. Three of those losses occurred on the road, increasing the significance of a four-game trek where the Kings will face the East's two worst teams in Brooklyn (12-38) and Philadelphia.

Blessés :

- Nets : Jarett Jack, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Chris McCullough

- Kings : Eric Moreland, Duje Dukan

3h00 : Denver Nuggets (19-31) – Chicago Bulls (27-21)

Coach Fred Hoiberg is hopeful his inconsistent Chicago Bulls have finally found something to build on, though that will be difficult if two of his biggest stars are held out.

With Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol questionable Friday night, the Bulls seek their first back-to-back wins in a month and their second road victory over the Denver Nuggets in 16 years.

Butler, an All-Star for the second straight season, missed his first game Wednesday due to left knee soreness. The shooting guard, averaging a team-high 22.4 points, said he was feeling better Thursday and will test his knee during the morning shootaround.

Blessés :

- Nuggets : Wilson Chandler, Darrell Arthur (?), Jameer Nelson (?)

- Bulls : Joakim Noah, Nikola Mirotic, Mike Dunleavy (?), Jimmy Butler (?)
