NBA 2024/2025 – It’s Martin Luther King Day in the United States and therefore obviously a special day for the NBA as well. Find the program of the 8 matches on display.
Like Christmas Day, the matches start a little earlier and it is the Hornets and the Mavs who are responsible for starting the marathon. A balance of power seems largely favorable to Dallas, which nevertheless has to deal with the absence of Luka Doncic. The Rockets will be at full strength against the Pistons in order to further validate their 2th place to the West.
Trae Young at Madison Square Garden, the Warriors welcome the Celtics
Hoping that Ja Morant either in uniform, the first big duel will put the Grizzlies under pressure from the Timberwolves. Despite stats ofAnthony Edwardsthe Wolves are struggling to find consistency and are far from being assured of playing extra time at the end of the season. On the other hand in the East, the Knicks are well established in the top 3. With a slight lead over the Bucks – who are not playing on this MLK Day – the men of Tom Thibodeau can consolidate their rank. But be careful, danger! Because the Hawks will want to remember the good memories of the NBA Cup and Trae Young – if he plays – ice Madison Square Garden again. The love story resumes at 9 p.m.
The debates continue with the reception of the Suns for Cleveland. Not flawless in defense, Phoenix will have work to do against the best attack in the League to confirm a third consecutive success. Nothing to daydream about either for the Warriors and the Celtics. The two franchises are going through a bad patch and if the reigning champions are safe at the top of their conference, it is not the same story for Golden State which, if it were necessary to stop the championship today, would not would not see the play-in. While the Pelicans and Jazz got lost in the program – and in the season – the Clippers will bring up the rear. Back to back, Los Angeles should not count on Kawhi Leonard. An opportunity for the Bulls to revive? Nothing is less certain.
