The Golden State Warriors have gotten some dazzling individual performances on their latest road trip, they just haven’t yielded many wins. The Warriors will be looking to close a five-game trip on a positive note when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Golden State has lost eight of its last nine on the road but is catching the 76ers at the right time. Philadelphia has dropped seven straight to fall out of the playoff picture.

The Chicago Bulls could be severely shorthanded when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Starters Richard Hamilton and Luol Deng are expected to be game-time decisions for Chicago, which capped off a dismal month of February with a 93-82 home victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday behind a monster performance from center Joakim Noah. It was only the fifth win in 13 games for the Bulls, who trail the Central Division-leading Indiana Pacers by 3 1/2 games.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a rather firm hold on the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They can make that hold even stronger when they host the Toronto Raptors, one of their closest pursuers, on Saturday. The Raptors are 10th in the East, 6 1/2 games behind Milwaukee. After dropping nine of 11, Milwaukee won a pair of games in Texas earlier this week, topping Dallas and Houston to move back to .500.

The month of February proved to be disastrous to the Portland Trail Blazers’ chances of making the playoffs. They will be looking for a positive start to March when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. The Blazers went 3-9 in February to drop from postseason contention in the Western Conference down to 10th place and five games below .500. The Timberwolves went 3-10 last month and have lost four straight.
