4. Feb. 13 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Any time that LeBron James comes to town, it is a must-watch game. That is the case here, as James and company will descend on Oklahoma City for their lone visit of the regular season. There will be a few powerhouse matchups to watch for in this game.

The first one is between James and George. James continually got the best of George when he was in the Eastern Conference as a member of the Pacers; will that continue now that he’s been traded?

The other is between Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving, for now. Irving asked for a trade, so there is a chance that he is not on the team by this time. With the NBA Trade Deadline being moved up to Feb. 8, Irving could be gone by the time this game takes place.

This is the second of the two matchups between the teams for the upcoming season. The first will be in Cleveland on Jan. 20, a Saturday matinee.

When superstars match up against each other, it is must-watch television. The NBA is a star-driven league, and plenty will be on display. Both games between the Cavaliers and Thunder will be on national television this season.
