Kawhi Leonard will host his original franchise, the Spurs, this Saturday.
Finally, it will be the sixth-best team in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will host the Utah Jazz.

NBA Saturday February 23 Multi Analysis
With the Anthony Davis saga continuing to ruin the Pelicans’s season and weekly morale, they’ve become a team that should be punted against whenever the opportunity arises.
The Pacers are a classy and well-built team that will easily deal with the dysfunction they come up against here.
Kemba Walker was an overall disappointment at the All Star event, shooting terribly in the Three Point Contest and the All Star game itself.
Looking to redeem himself in front of his home crowd, the all-time scoring leader for the Hornets will put on a show and defeat the Wizards.
Having the second-longest winning streak in the NBA, the Magic are obviously doing something well.
Against the 14-44 Chicago Bulls, you would think the Magic will continue upon their winning ways.
Jonathan Isaac has been brilliant in the Magic’s winning run and will be crucial in his matchup with Lauri Markkanen, who has been one of the Bulls’ glimmering hopes.
Considering the location of the Spurs and Raptors battle, you have to select the Raptors to win. With a home record of 24-5, the Raptors have one of the best fortresses in the league, appearing near unstoppable at times in Canada.
The final leg in the multi will be one to keep an eye on.
Paul George has become the main man in Oklahoma City and he has allowed Westbrook to play freely, which is why he has the longest streak in triple-double history, 11 straight, which is still active.
The Jazz will not have the defensive quality around the perimeter to stop George.
Rudy Gobert might be the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year, but Steven Adams can negate his impact very quickly.
