Four NBA games are on the slate for Thursday, Mar. 2, two nationally televised.

The first, on TNT at 7:30 p.m. ET, sees the Philadelphia 76ers visit the Dallas Mavericks.

The 76ers will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back following Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat, offering the home side a distinct advantage.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors battle in the late TNT game. The Clippers have lost three in a row, while the Warriors have won three on the bounce, even without talisman Stephen Curry.

UFC 285 on Saturday features a stacked card headlined by Jon Jones’ return to the octagon for the first time since 2020.

Jones is the heavy favorite when he takes on Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight title. Here’s the rest of Saturday’s fight card:

• Jamie Pickett vs. Bo Nickal
