Coming out of Thanksgiving and this Black Friday, the NBA is spoiling us by offering us a somewhat special program. This Friday’s matches start at 6 p.m. with Hornets – Knicks, and we are entitled to ten NBA Cup posters in total to delight us throughout the night. The complete NBA program is just below.
The evening NBA program
- 18h : Hornets – Knicks
- 20h30 : Hawks – Cavaliers
- 23h : Grizzlies – Pelicans
- 1h30 : Nets – Magic
- 1h30 : Wolves – Clippers
- 2h : Pacers – Pistons
- 2h : Heat – Raptors
- 2h : Bulls – Celtics
- 4h : Lakers – Thunder
- 4h : Blazers – Kings
Lakers – Thunder, a thunderous match
If the matches start at 6 p.m. this evening, you will have to wait until 4 a.m. to attend the main event. The Lakers host the Thunder for a decisive NBA Cup match. Both teams having already lost once in the competition, the loser will undoubtedly say goodbye to their hopes of qualifying in the quarter-finals. The winner, on the other hand, will put themselves in an advantageous position, even if a victory will not be synonymous with qualification.
We know that the Lakers, reigning NBA Cup champions, will want to be respected under the leadership of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Thunder will be keen to take out the team that lifted the cup last year.
The main issues this Friday in the NBA Cup.
But also…
- The Knicks will want to recover against the Hornets, deprived of LaMelo Ball.
- Can the Hawks beat the Cavs again? It would still be very funny.
- Ja Morant and the Grizzlies should clip the Pelicans’ wings pretty easily.
- The Magic are aiming for an eleventh victory in twelve games in Brooklyn.
- In the midst of a crisis, will Anthony Edwards’ Wolves sink a little deeper against the Clippers?
- Pacers – Pistons, fortunately it’s 2024 and not 2004.
- Can the Heat string together two wins in a row or is that too much to ask?
- Bulls – Celtics, with first place in Group C (East) at stake!
- Blazers – Kings, not the most exciting match but you never know, it could be fun.
The French on the bridge
- Zacharie Risacher against the team with the best NBA record.
- Tidjane Salaün and Moussa Diabaté from 6 p.m. against the Knicks of… Pacôme Dadiet!
- Nico Batum vs Rudy Gobert.
- Rayan Rupert against the Kings.
