Philadelphia at Miami 2:30 PM ET
Philadelphia 76ers All-Star center Joel Embiid returned with a vengeance from an orbital fracture and is intent on making things painful for the Miami Heat. Embiid and the third-seeded 76ers look to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference first-round series on Saturday in Miami.
Portland at New Orleans 5:00 PM ET
Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans are one victory away from completing a stunning yet dominating four-game sweep.

Houston at Minnesota 7:30 PM ET
Houston Rockets guard James Harden is likely to take home his first NBA MVP trophy this season and is the best player on the team with the best record in the league, but he is not the whole team. The Rockets will take any offense they can get from Harden when they try to push their lead in the best-of-seven first-round series to 3-0 when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
Oklahoma City at Utah 10:00 PM ET
