It’s Tuesday, and Tuesday is NBA Cup. Something to enjoy with very colorful parquet floors. The NBA program is made up of six games this evening, including a Celtics – Cavaliers which promises to be exceptional.
The evening NBA program
- 1h : Celtics – Cavaliers
- 1h30 : Nets – Hornets
- 2h : Grizzlies – Nuggets
- 2h30 : Mavericks – Pelicans
- 3h30 : Spurs – Thunder
- 4h30 : Lakers – Jazz
16-0 or first defeat for Cleveland?
15 matches, 15 wins. This is the result of the Cavaliers at the start of the season, who are first in the Eastern Conference ahead of the Celtics, reigning NBA champions.
This night, the two teams cross swords at TD Garden in Boston in a meeting that promises to be explosive. Cleveland will try everything to extend its historic series, while the Greens will be keen to show that they remain the bosses. The Celtics will also want to rectify the situation after a defeat in their first NBA Cup match.
The full preview of this XXL match is right here.
But also…
- Nets vs Hornets, it can spark.
- The Grizzlies and Nuggets both lost in their first NBA Cup game. Reaction expected from both sides (Nikola Jokic is still uncertain).
- Even with Luka Doncic potentially absent, Dallas will have to win against the decimated Pels.
- Spurs – Thunder, without Chet Holmgren and probably without Victor Wembanyama (knee).
- Winners of the NBA Cup last year, the Lakers are still undefeated in the competition. This should not change against Jazz.
The French on the bridge
- Moussa Diabaté and Tidjane Salaün against the Nets.
- Ousmane Dieng against Spurs.
- With Wemby probably absent, the Spurs called on Sidy Cissoko against the Thunder.
