It’s Sunday and the NBA is offering us a nice doubleheader with a French schedule, Eastern Conference sauce. Knicks – Magic at 6 p.m. then Raptors – Celtics at 9:30 p.m., enough to give us a great evening before the Sixers – Lakers of the night.
The evening NBA program
- 18h : Knicks – Magic
- 21h30 : Raptors – Celtics
- 0h : Hornets – Nuggets
- 0h : Grizzlies – Blazers
- 1h : Bulls – Warriors
- 1h30 : Sixers – Lakers
- 2h : Jazz – Thunder
The second in the East against one of the teams in good form at the moment, all at Madison Square Garden, that makes this Knicks – Magic exciting, especially since Paolo Banchero is back on the court. New York is also complete with the return of OG Anunoby, although Karl-Anthony Towns is officially doubtful for this matchup.
Then we will be entitled to a Raptors – Celtics intriguing, with two teams who defy the odds and who are separated in the standings by only one victory. Toronto must reassure itself after two defeats in a row, including a very dirty one against Charlotte. As for Jaylen Brown and his friends, they want to build on their great momentum (four victories in a row).
In the night, the bravest will be able to look at the Sixers – Lakersmarked by the return of Luka Doncic after two games of absence (dad for the second time). LeBron James is uncertain, like Paul George and Joel Embiid.
The French in the running
- Tidjane Salaün will want to confirm his good form against Denver. Moussa Diabaté is uncertain on the Hornets side.
- Guerschon Yabusele, Mo Diawara and (maybe) Pacôme Dadiet against the Orlando Magic.
- Ousmane Dieng in Utah.
- Sidy Cissoko and Rayan Rupert in Memphis.
The injury report for tonight’s matches is right here
