Six games. We have six games on the program this Saturday after the big night yesterday. Light program therefore, but program composed of an XXL shock at 2am and a 100% Californian duel. Come on, little preview.
# THE PROGRAM FOR SATURDAY MARCH 5
- 23h : Mavs – Kings (sur beIN Sports 3)
- 1h : Hornets – Spurs
- 2h : Wolves – Blazers (sur beIN Sports 4)
- 2h : Grizzlies – Magic
- 2h : Heat – Sixers
- 2h30 : Lakers – Warriors
# THE MATCH OF THE NIGHT, FINALLY ACCORDING TO US
Heat – Sixers (2h) : how to pass by? The leader of the East on our left, his runner-up on our right, in short, it’s hard to do better. This match in Miami is the first big test for the Sixers version Joel Embiid – James Harden, still undefeated since the arrival of the Barbu in Philadelphia (four games, four wins). Because it’s fine to beat the Wolves, the Knicks (twice), or even the Cavaliers out of breath, it’s another thing to get stuck with Erik Spoelstra, who has just hit Brooklyn and Chicago while having lost by only a small point on the floor of Milwaukee. If successful again, Doc Rivers’ men would send a big message to the Eastern Conference for the next Playoffs, but the Heat will be keen to bring the Sixers down from their cloud and prove to them that they still have a long way to go before they are at the same level as Miami. The big duel to follow in this meeting will obviously be between Embiid and Bam Adebayo, a duel that risks making big sparks in the rackets. As for Harden, he could be quite quiet because Jimmy Butler, PJ Tucker and Caleb Martin are all doubts for this meeting (this is also the case for Max Strus), while Kyle Lowry is already forfeited. If the Heat find themselves really limited and Bam manages to give Jojo some trouble, it will really be up to the Barbu to take matters into his own hands.
# ALSO WATCH
- Mavs – Kings for the aperitif, it can be nice if Luka plays. FYI, Doncic is uncertain because of a sore toe.
- The Hornets – now tenth – continue to fall in the Eastern pecking order. It’s time to make a series but the Spurs will hang on to allow Pop to equal Don Nelson in the number of all-time wins tonight.
- The tanking plan is going wonderfully for Portland (three defeats in a row with at least 30 points difference), which risks taking a new suitcase this evening against Wolves.
- The Grizzlies cross paths with the Magic, in other words Ja Morant should have a good time.
- The Lakers are catastrophic with seven losses in eight games. The Warriors are really tough with seven losses in nine games. For a LeBron vs Curry, we have known better.
- For NCAA fans, it’s Coach K’s last tonight in front of his home crowd at Duke, all against historic rival North Carolina. It’s midnight, and it will be a very big moment!
Chill evening on the program, but we will inevitably be in front of this Heat – Sixers which promises a lot, hoping that the band at Spo is not too reduced to face Jojo and Ramesse. See you at 11 p.m. for those who can’t wait, see you at 2 a.m. for everyone, and no excuses because tomorrow is Sunday.
