What’s the NBA schedule this week? NBA games today, tomorrow, Thursday

Are you looking for an NBA game tonight? You’ll have to find something else to watch.

All NBA teams remain on All-Star break.

Following the NBA All-Star Game, which took place over the weekend in Los Angeles, teams get a few more days off to enjoy a break from the grind of the 82-game schedule.

The pause on the season comes after the always-eventful trade deadline earlier this month where teams shuffled around their rosters with an eye on the playoffs or the future.

When teams return to action, beginning Thursday, there are less than two months remaining and fewer than 30 games in the regular season before the postseason begins in mid-April.

Here’s what to know about the NBA schedule this week, including when the Milwaukee Bucks next play:
