There are eight games on tap Wednesday evening, including a monster matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. These two teams enter the game with a combined record of 60-9, with both operating on double-digit win streaks and average scoring margins of around +12 PPG. This is the game of the night, arguably the game of the season so far, in the NBA.

But it's not the only game with fun storylines. We also get The Alien vs. The Greek Freak Part 2, with Victor Wembanyama's Spurs going into Milwaukee to face Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks. When they played last season, almost exactly a year ago today, Wembanyama dropped 27 while Giannis popped for 44, 14 and 7. These days, Wemby is dropping video game numbers on the regular, so I imagine we'll see fireworks in this matchup.

The highest-projected scoring game of the night will be in Indiana, where ESPN BET set the line for the Bulls vs. Pacers at 242.5 points. If Tyrese Haliburton (questionable) is able to go, we'd get some of the hottest-scoring guards in the NBA all in one place.
