After the 14 matches last night, eight posters are planned this night, which means a shower of back-to-backs. A huge Nuggets – Wolves, a decisive Bucks-Magic for the Playoffs in the East, Chet vs Wemby… Long live the last week of the regular season in the NBA.
The night’s program:
- 1h : Cavaliers – Grizzlies
- 1h30 : Heat – Mavericks
- 1h30 : Nets – Raptors
- 1h30 : Hawks – Hornets
- 2h : Thunder – Spurs
- 2h : Bucks – Magic
- 4h : Nuggets – Wolves
- 4h30 : Clippers – Suns
The match not to be missed: Nuggets – Wolves
Barring any surprises, the winner of this opposition will simply finish the season in first place in the Western Conference. With three games remaining, the two teams have the same record and will be huge favorites in their last two matches. The loser will not only lose the Western throne, he could even slip to third place knowing that the Thunder – third – have a good chance of beating the Spurs this evening. Between having home field advantage for all the Playoffs in the West or conceding it in the conference semi-finals, the line couldn’t be finer.
This match comes as Mike Malone and Chris Finch’s men are in good form. 8 victories in the last 11 matches for both sides, the dynamic before the Playoffs is good and a victory this evening would confirm it. Rudy Gobert has a major challenge against Nikola Jokic, Anthony Edwards will have to get the better of Jamal Murray and Karl-Anthony Towns will be stressed all alone on his couch. Meet at 4 a.m. at the Ball Arena.
But also …
- An important game for the Cavaliers, one more game for the Grizzlies.
- In the event of a defeat against the Mavericks, the Heat’s future will 99% go through the Play-In.
- Two of the Eastern Conference’s most disappointing teams, the Nets and Raptors, face off.
- Two of the most disappointing teams in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks and Hornets, face off.
- The last match between Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama during their rookie seasons is for tonight. Heat up the popcorn and enjoy one of the biggest duels of the next 15 years in the NBA.
- The Bucks – Magic is decisive in the race for the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Unfortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be on the field.
- Speaking of a decisive match in the Race to the Playoffs, the Suns must win in Los Angeles to keep the pressure on the Pelicans and thus have a chance of avoiding the Play-In box.
The French :
- Victor Wembanyama goes to visit his friend Chet Holmgren. Spoiler, he’s not really her boyfriend actually.
- Sidy Cissoko has more and more minutes and is starting to make them count. His evening mission? Dynamite the Spurs bench.
- Rudy Gobert has one last big direct confrontation during this regular season. Perhaps the biggest of them all, Nikola Jokic, in a high-stakes match.
