Seven games on the day’s menu in the NBA and some great duels in the upper part of the rankings. What to watch first? We give you our advice for the night to come.
# THE PROGRAM

- 1h : Wizards – Magic

- 2h : Wolves – Rockets
- 3h : Suns – Pacers (beIN Sports 4)
- 4h : Kings – Sixers
# DO NOT MISS
We would have said Cavs – Bucks but for that it would be necessary that Giannis Antetokounmpo is sure to be in uniform and the Greek Freak is for the moment questionable.
So, we are going to start gently on this Kings – Sixers, a duel between the third of each conference. Sacramento remains on six victories in a row and will want to test itself against an opponent a bit more referenced than its last victims (no disrespect for Houston, Orlando, San Antonio and even the Lakers). That’s good, Philadelphia is coming to town with an increasingly impressive Embiid – Harden tandem. With eight wins in their last ten games, the Sixers are currently the only ones to keep pace with Boston in the East and a victory combined with a defeat for the Bucks in Cleveland would give them the place of runner-up in the Conference. Finally… we still have to get rid of the Beam Team, which has the disadvantage of being back-to-back. We will also monitor the condition of James Harden, announced uncertain. In the first leg, Philly had quietly won.
# ALSO WATCH
- The Cavs are in trouble right now and they could do with a victory against Milwaukee not to let slip the Top 4 in the East.
- The Celtics can chain a ninth straight victory in Toronto.
- Wolves vs. Rockets? The first to 130 points wins.
- The Hawks are in good shape, the Hornets deprived of LaMelo Ball, it smells like fir for Charlotte.
- Injury game between Suns and Pacers, with Devin Booker and Tyrese Haliburton still on the sidelines. Deandre Ayton may give some regrets to the team he almost joined last summer.
- Duel made in Hogwarts between the Wizards and the Magic. It would be a question of not falling too far behind the Top 10 to still believe in the play-in in Washington.
