Who says first Saturday of December necessarily says Christmas market, mulled wine and all the usual stuff. But today, the NBA offers us a very good excuse not to go and freeze them to sleep off this warmed nectar. Instead, we sit quietly in front of the seven-game program starting at 6:30 p.m.!
THIS WAY THE RECAP OF YESTERDAY’S EVENING
# THE PROGRAM
- 6:30 p.m : Knicks – Mavericks (sur beIN Sports 3)
- 22:00 Clippers – Kings
- 0h: Hornets – Bucks
- 2h: Raptors – Magic
- 2h: Wolves–Thunder (on beIN Max 4)
- 2h30: Warriors – Rockets
- 3h : Jazz – Blazers
# DO NOT MISS
An NBA game live from Madison Square Garden starting at 6:30 p.m., who would be crazy enough to miss that? No one, especially when you see the cast that will be on stage. Headlining, Luka Doncic necessarily. We no longer present this Slovenian devil who spreads his opponents every night with 33.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.7 offerings. The top NBA scorer therefore arrives at MSG and don’t play the innocent, you see very well what we mean. In this mythical room, most players want to be a hit, and since he must score all the points for his team to win, you can quickly end up with a Luka with 50 pawns. The risk escalates for the Knicks when you look at a defense that’s close to being one of the worst in the nation. The “wall” collects 116.2 pawns per game and is in 23rd place in the defensive ranking. In order not to be humiliated by Luka Doncic at home and if he wants to keep his place, Tom Thibodeau will have to find barbed wire fairly quickly. Attention, all is not rosy either on the side of Dallas where the tree of Ljubljana hides the forest. This therefore gives a high-stakes meeting from 6:30 p.m. between two teams who must relaunch each other, and nor do we doubt that Jalen Brunson will want to welcome his former teammates in the best way.
Revelations of the start of the season in the West, the Blazers and the Jazz are now beginning to fall into line. The musicos have lost six of the last ten games, but have come back to life with two straight wins. Lauri Markannen and his mates are clearly capable of beating anyone and they would see themselves playing spoilsport for as long as possible. The situation is much the same for the Blazers, who have bitten the dust eight times in the last ten meetings. But the watchmakers continue to hunt for the smallest victory which will be very useful when Damian Lillard returns to business. Sans Nassir Little and a pack of soldiersPortland is therefore moving to Utah to try to bring something back. Both teams are playful and the Lauri Markannen – Jerami Grant duel is well worth the detour to end the night in style. See you at 3 a.m. for the start of the concert.
# ALSO WATCH
- Yes Kawhi Leonard and Paul George play this game, so we should enjoy this derby, otherwise the Kings will just fight against Reggie Jackson, Ivica Zubac and our national Nicolas Batum.
- The Bucks lost at home to the Lakers, Giannis and his minions are no doubt angry and the Hornets will pay for it.
- The Magic risk catching a cold in Toronto where Paolo Banchero will get confused with Pascal Siakam, “Mama Mia, why are you putting all these spices in your spaghetti”.
- Without Karl-Anthony Towns, the Wolves welcome the Thunder to return to positive. We’re not making you a drawing, or maybe one of Rudy Gobert preparing his site at the controls of a bulldozer.
- Stephen Curry against Jalen Green, we all know the result, but we still click.
Seven NBA games to fight against the cold and spend a nice evening by the fireplace. Be careful to plan the logs in advance so as not to miss the first seconds of Luka Doncic’s butcher’s shop in Madison Square Garden. First flames from 6:30 p.m.!
