Elsewhere in the West, the Golden State Warriors have a 1-0 lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but they'll be without Stephen Curry for at least the next three games. Curry strained his hamstring in the Game 1 victory. The Wolves will try to even the series on Thursday.

Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conference. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are determined by the NBA Play-In Tournament.
