The Lakers have won seven of their last 10 games and have had the league's fourth-best Offensive Rating (119.5) over that span. They'll face the Suns in an enticing matchup, as Phoenix has the eighth-best Defensive Rating (111.3) in February. Despite being consistently listed on the injury report, Davis has missed just four outings this season. James has missed eight games, including three this month.

Mitchell scored 40 points in his last appearance versus Washington, who has lost 10 games in a row. Over that span, the Wizards' -13.5 Net Rating has been the league's second-worst, and their 44.3% field goal percentage has also ranked bottom-two. Meanwhile, without Mitchell, the Cavs have lost their last two contests. Before those outings, Cleveland had won seven of their first eight games this month.

Without Ingram in the previous two games, the Pelicans went 1-1. In the most recent contest, they scored just 95 points in a loss to the Heat. New Orleans will get a bit of an easier matchup against the Bulls, who have lost three of their last four contests and have posted the seventh-worst Defensive Rating (119.2) in February. Even without their starting point guard, the Pelicans should be able to handle Chicago, as long as one of Williamson or Ingram can ultimately suit up.

Reggie Jackson started sans Murray in the last game and the Nuggets beat the Blazers by 15 points. Denver was led by Porter Jr., who scored a team-high 34 points. After an enticing matchup against Portland, they'll have a more challenging one against the Warriors. Golden State has quietly won eight of its last 10 outings. These teams have met three times this season with the Nuggets winning all three games, and Sunday's contest marks their final meeting of the season.
