The NBA regular season is in full swing, and almost every team has completed their first game. On Thursday night, TNT will host a two-game schedule full of the NBA's top stars!

In the Eastern Conference, two giants face off as the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks reignite their incredible rivalry. It will be an exciting match with a new-look Bucks team and a shorthanded Sixers side. It's an MVP-level battle when Joel Embiid takes on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers look to bounce back from an opening night loss when they face a Phoenix Suns team that knocked off the Warriors in their last match. LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be under the spotlight when they match up against Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Let's check out the bets!
