The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are must-watch teams of the week. 

Every week the folks at Sports Illustrated and ScoreBig get together to pick out the must watch games each week in the NBA. This week, the Thunder and Warriors top the charts with two games a piece on the must-watch list that you need to follow.

Here’s a look at the must-see games to watch in NBA for the week ending on March 5th:

  • Pacers vs. Trail Blazers, Feb. 28
  • Clippers vs. Thunder, Mar. 2
  • Warriors vs. Thunder, Mar. 3
  • Grizzlies vs. Jazz, Mar. 4
  • Cavaliers vs. Celtics, Mar. 5

The best game of the week is a split between the Thunder-Warriors on Thursday and the Cavs-Celtics game on Saturday. The Game on Thursday very well could be a Western Conference Finals preview, and it’s going to be another lesson in how well equipped the Thunder are to make a run in the West.

They’ll have to get past Golden State at some point, and the Thunder have the tools to give the Dubs their best shot. Thursday might not be the final test, but at the very least it’s going to be amazing basketball to watch.

As for the Cavs-Celtics game; ever since they linked up in the postseason last year they became an interesting matchup. These two teams don’t have the rivalry they once had, but there’s no love lost between the titans of the East and their up-and-coming little brother.
