Now that the holidays are well digested for everyone, things get serious again with 12 games tonight in the NBA. Big program at the top… and at the bottom of the rankings for a Wednesday which should keep all its promises.
The night’s program:
1h : Wizards – Cavaliers
1h : Bucks – Pacers
1h30 : Thunder – Hawks
2h : Nets – Rockets
2h : Raptors – Grizzlies
2h : Pelicans – Timberwolves
2h30 : Blazers – Mavericks
2h30 : Bulls – Knicks
3h : Clippers – Suns
3h : Pistons – Jazz
4h : Heat – Lakers
4h : Magic – Kings
The match not to be missed: Suns – Clippers
Big duel in the Western Conference between two teams in good shape at the moment. On the one hand, the Clippers remain on 8 victories in the last 10 games and the integration of James Harden is bearing fruit since they are now 4th in their Conference. On the other hand, the Suns have waited a long time for Bradley Beal to be able to play and as Jusuf Nurkić says so well, you can stop there, it changes everything: the Suns have lost 4 victories in a row and are back in 8th place . The absence of Kevin Durant on the Suns side due to a hamstring injury necessarily makes the shock less appealing but there is still a good smell of Playoffs. Kawhi vs Booker, PG vs Beal, these are match-ups that smell like Armani perfume, silky mid-distance shots and above all, don’t introduce them to your new girlfriend… Meet at 3 a.m. in Arizona for a shock which should not disappoint.
But also…
Bilal Coulibaly who rubs shoulders with Donovan Mitchell at 1 a.m., we stream loudly. Giannis Antetokounmpo is traveling to Indiana for the 8th time since the start of the year and it’s always a spectacle. OKC in back-to-back travels to Atlanta to confirm its good form after the victory against the Celtics. Chicago is moving to Madison Square Garden, it’s a shame we’re no longer in the 90s. Another great poster in the Western Conference between Pelicans and Wolves at 2 a.m.: you shouldn’t have been afraid to release this 3 years ago. Detroit plays Utah for a 31st defeat of the season and restarts the series like putting a coin back in the slot machine. The LeBronico between Heat and Lakers at 4 a.m. Very serious test for the Magic’s defense against the Kings attack at 4 o’clock.
The French of the night
Bilal and the Wizards face the Cavaliers in a lopsided match-up. Rudy Gobert will be in the racket at the same time as Zion Williamson, sacred test for the favorite for the title of defender of the year. Killian Hayes will have to prove against the Jazz after poor performances recently. Evan Fournier is still with the Knicks… come on, we believe it, we always have to believe it. We checked, Théo Maledon is indeed in the Suns squad so we are quoting him.
And in the G League
Rayan Rupert against the Iowa Wolves.
