# DO NOT MISS

The Eastern Conference in a mess: the Hawks who travel to Philly at almost French time (not too much either), it’s still cute to watch! Only concern, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey are still unavailable while Joel Embiid is noted in « game-time decision ». No more info on the presence of Matisse Thybulle and PJ Tucker: we are therefore heading towards a potential Trae Young – Dejounte Murray against Papazoukis Kamaras and Francisco Javier III. Too bad Bogi is also unavailable due to a knee problem. Apart from these setbacks, the duel opposes two teams equally between 5th and 6th place in the East, with records of 11 wins and 9 losses. Interesting to watch, if only for the dynamics.

You were sold a pissed off Eastern Conference, but the Raptors – Cavs is placed under the same sign, that of fragility: Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, Justin Champagnie and Dalano Banton are rated “questionable”, when Otto Porter Jr, Precious Achiuwa, Dylan Windler and Ricky Rubio are sure not to participate in the meeting. We also place Kevin Love, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Lamar Stevens in brackets. Nothing certain for these guys, but better not count on it. It remains a game between 3rd and 7th in the same conference, with Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Fred VanVleet. Long live sport name name.

# ALSO WATCH

• The Wolves made a poor impression against the Warriors, Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are criticized: extremely important trip to Washington.
• Another “duel” from the East: Celtics – Hornets with a team that remains on twelve wins in thirteen games, and the other that makes its way as it should, that is to say stuck in the 13th seat of ballast.
• Nets – Magic, typically the kind of game to take for Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons against… Paolo Banchero.
• Pelicans – Thunder, again a small imbalance in terms of ambitions with the Pelicans 4th in the West, and a Thunder who are satisfied with their 12th place.
• Nuggets – Rockets, on attend une grosse Huge performance from Nikola Jokic, who should have fun against the Texan “racquet”.
• Will Jabari Smith Jr. continue his ascent towards respect for each other?
• A 3rd pick status has to be earned.
• The Jazz is no longer “only” 8th in the West and remains on four defeats in a row: reaction to come for the reception of the Bulls?
• Kings-Suns, the kind of game that cuts well for Phoenix, and super decisive for Sac Town: this season, do they have the mentality to confirm against a very big West?
• Lakers-Pacers, 4th in his conference isn’t the one you think of first.
• Anthony Davis and LeBron James are rated in « day-to-day ».
• Myles Turner will be there but shouldn’t be.
• The day after Ivica Zubac’s 31 points and 29 rebounds, it’s still too early.
• Poor kid.

Monday night NBA fever is well and truly back with 10 games on the schedule. Shocks to the four corners of the country (no) and sacred artists on the track, we should enjoy ourselves so meet at 1am for the start of hostilities.
