We've got a matchup of two of the top teams in the league in an interconference contest on Friday's NBA schedule as the New York Knicks will host the Oklahoma City Thunder in a pairing of two of the top-five teams in the NBA by winning percentage.

The 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers hold the longest winning streak in NBA history at 33 games. Led by Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Gail Goodrich, the Lakers went on to win 69 games that season and their sixth championship after beating the New York Knicks.

The Cavs extended their winning streak to 11, improved the league’s best record to 32-4 — 11-0 against the West — and moved to 19-1 at home.

It didn’t take long for the Cleveland Cavaliers to establish themselves as a team to watch out for in the 2024-2025 NBA season. They started the year with a 15-0 winning streak and haven’t looked back.

The NBA postponed Thursday's game between the Hornets and Lakers because of the wildfires in the Los Angeles area that have claimed over 1,000 structures, including the home of Lakers coach JJ Redick.

The NBA and NFL are monitoring several massive wildfires burning across the greater Los Angeles area and the potential impact it could have on games this week in Southern California. Three major fires were burning in areas of the vast Los Angeles metroplex following two days of extraordinary winds.

In the second fan returns of the 2025 NBA All Star Voting, Giannis and Nikola Jokic lead their respective conferences.
