Only five games on the schedule this evening in the NBA but a huge shock with this Thunder – Cavaliers, the leaders of the two conferences! The Kings – Rockets at the end of the night should also be worth a look.
The evening NBA program:
- 1h : Pistons – Pacers
- 1h : Wizards – Suns
- 1h30 : Thunder – Cavaliers
- 4h : Blazers – Clippers
- 4h : Kings – Rockets
Everyone in OKC for the clash of the conference leaders!
Not very complicated to make a choice today, with quite simply the two best teams in the League facing each other. If Cleveland had won the first round in Ohio, the Thunder intends to take their revenge at home, where the team has won 17 of its 19 games this season.
For Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, it’s another XXL match to score even more points in the race for MVP. Some Cavs players will also want to make an impression in the race for the All-Star Game, where Cleveland is not spoiled by the voters.
But also :
- Pistons – Pacers, like a flavor from the early 2000s, with two Top 8 teams and in a very good dynamic.
- The Suns have no right to lose in Washington otherwise it will really feel like a crisis.
- The Clippers can continue against the weak Blazers who only play the Lottery.
- Between the Kings who are finding color and the Rockets who are now solid runners-up in the West, we should have a colorful match.
The French in the running:
- Alexandre Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly for the Wizards.
- Nicolas Batum with the Clippers.
- Potentially Rayan Rupert in case of garbage time with the Blazers.
