Welcome to a 4-game slate of Thursday night hoops!

Victor Wembanyama leads the 4-0 Spurs in a home matchup with the 3-1 Miami Heat tonight on League Pass.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on an absolute tear to begin the 2025-26 campaign. Through four outings so far, the former MVP and 2021 NBA champion is averaging 36.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game, leading Milwaukee to a 3-1 record.

The Bucks are getting solid contributions from their backcourt duo of Ryan Rollins and Gary Trent, Jr., who combine to score 28.8 points and swipe 4.3 steals a night. Rollins, who is starting for the injured Kevin Porter, Jr. (ankle), played 12 games for the Warriors during the 2022-23 season.

Rollins has been impressive for Milwaukee, and he’s coming off a career-high 25 points while shooting 4-for-4 from 3 with two boards, four assists and four steals in a win over the Knicks on Tuesday. He’s tied with Tre Jones (Chicago) and Zion Williamson (Pelicans) for the most steals at 3.0.

Golden State is off to a stellar start of their own, sitting at 4-1 through the first week of the season. Jimmy Butler III (21.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists), Stephen Curry (27.0 points, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals) and the Warriors will be ready for the challenge tonight.

Keep an eye on the point guard matchup between these two teams, as Curry and Rollins should be a fun individual battle.
