Eight meetings on the program this evening, including an enticing Celtics – Pelicans at 1:30. Come on, we’ve spent half the week and we’re off once more for a good big NBA night.
# THE PROGRAM
- 1h : Pistons – Timberwolves
- 1h : Wizards – Bulls
- 1h30: Celtics – Pelicans
- 1h30: Hawks – Bucks
- 1h30: Knicks – Pacers
- 2h: Grizzlies – Spurs
- 4h : Nuggets – Suns
- 4h : Kings – Rockets
The game to follow in priority is the meeting between the Celtics and the Pelicans. The best team in the East (and in the entire league) which hosts New Orleans, third in the Western Conference. Pels certainly diminished, but who can count on the man in shape of the moment: C.J. McCollum. Facing them, two phenomena that can catch fire at any time, the Jay Brothers Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but above all a very well-established collective, all in a room committed to their cause. Only downside: theinjury report. On the Celtics side, Robert Williams and Marcus Smart are listed “questionable” because of sores in the knees. For the Pels, Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram are already “out” and Herbert Jones, listed “doubtful“, should also miss the meeting.
Say like that, we have the impression that the match seems to be played in advance but it is not so. If the C’s remain on three wins in a row, they have also experienced air pockets recently like the slap received in Oklahoma. The Pelicans, they are coming out of a big victory (+20) once morest the Wizards and have been full of confidence.
CJ McCollum facing Jayson Tatum, the appointment is made. 1:30 a.m., at the TD Garden. Let’s go.
# ALSO WATCH
- Must-win for Wolves in full swing, who receive the Pistons. The Wolves, still without KAT and perhaps Anthony Edwards, want to get closer to the top 6. We will also keep an eye on the Franco-French duel between Rudy Gobert and Killian Hayes.
- The Bulls need to bounce back once morest the Wizards. Many absent on both sides, it will be an opportunity to see Ayo Dosunmu and Monte Morris shine (spoiler: no).
- Perhaps the return of RJ Barrett on the New York side? Listing “questionable“, the Canadian would be very close to a return according to Tom Thibodeau. Knicks and Pacers clash at MSG, only one victory separates them. Jalen Brunson and JVLIVS Randle once morest Tyrese Haliburton and Ben Mathurin, it promises.
- Trap match for Giannis and the Bucks who move to Atlanta, even if Trae Young will not play on the Hawks side.
- Act 2 between the Spurs and the Grizzlies. Memphis had won two days ago, once more tonight?
- The C team of the Suns remains on an improbable but beautiful victory once morest the Warriors. Still without Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, Cam Johnson and Devin Booker, Phoenix takes on Nikola Jokic. Do you also feel the Serbian masterclass?
- The Rockets receive Kings well established in the top 5 in the West (this sentence is crazy but very real). Everyone is complete but that will not prevent Jalen Green from shooting 4/15 and losing 6 bullets. Well, we carry, but be careful in case of defeat, it will continue to heat under the seat of Stephen Silas.
The NBA planet never stops turning and always offers us its share of surprises. It’s worth staying up tonight, right?
