Long NBA night in perspective with eleven games on the bill. But at the end of the season, it is difficult to find matches with stakes, stars and adversity. Maybe the Lakers-Suns with LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant will reconcile us to that.

# DO NOT MISS
Lakers – Suns (4h30) : This is the poster of the day despite the uncertainties surrounding the stars of the match. The Lakers-Suns have always given us intense encounters between two franchises that don’t really like each other. Phoenix is guaranteed to finish fourth in the West unlike the Lakers who still have a very variable ranking. Currently seventh, they need this victory to still believe in a rise in the Top 6, a sign of qualifying for the Playoffs. But the fate of Los Angeles also depends on the Warriors, Pelicans, Wolves and a little Clippers.
Coming back to the evening game, he should be explosive. This could be the first confrontation between LeBron James and Kevin Durant since Christmas Day 2018. They still have to be there. Both LBJ and Anthony Davis are listed doubts for the game, although we have been used to this status with the King for some time. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Chris Paul could only play the first half or be completely rested.
# TO FOLLOW ALSO
- Victory to take absolutely for Miami with the Top 6 in the sights. The Wizards are enjoying their last days at work before the holidays.
- Killian Hayes against a team that absolutely must lose. 55 points, 29 assists and 18 steals, you will have read it here first.
- There it is no longer bravery, but unconsciousness. This is where we recognize the real ones who are in front of a Hornets – Rockets on April 7th in the middle of the night.
- The Raptors will try to take their revenge to try to pass 8th. Beautiful poster with stars all the same, without a mirobolant stake.
- The Nets play the qualifier in the Playoffs against the B of the Magic. Already that the A has not finished at the top of the basket, we let you imagine the B.
- Atlanta defends its 8th position and welcomes the Sixers who move without Joel Embiid. The Hawks are on three straight wins, maybe the start of something.
- The Pelicans are playing the elevator game out West. The Knicks sit fifth in the East. No Brunson or Randle at NOLA, clear skies for birds.
- The Bears go to the Deer. An animal match without the most important deer. Milwaukee’s flagship quartet will be in civilian clothes.
- The Mavs are still playing their survival for the play-in race. Defeat and it’s off to the tropics, victory and it’s a multiplex of madness on Sunday with the Thunder. Too bad, Kyrie Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr, Christian Wood and Maxi Kleber are absent. White flag of zinzin in Dallas.
- The Kings are blowing executives. Officially because the Playoffs are coming. Unofficially, because the Lakers at Play-in is more fun.
