On this Thursday evening, the NBA program is very light with only four games on the menu. Not the posters of the century we admit, but still a Lakers – Magic which is worth it. And what’s more, it rhymes.
The evening NBA program
- 1h : Hornets – Pistons
- 1h30 : Raptors – Wolves
- 2h : Spurs – Jazz
- 4h30 : Lakers – Magic
The 7 pass for the Lakers?
Since their terrible road trip between the end of October and the beginning of November (4 defeats in 5 games), the Lakers have not lost: 6 games, 6 victories. Certainly they took advantage of a super affordable schedule (Sixers, Raptors, Grizzlies, Spurs, Pelicans, Jazz) but they still had to do the job.
Tonight, it’s a very competitive team that will be facing LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Magic, who also remained on six straight victories before falling against the Clippers yesterday, have one of the best NBA defenses as well as a Franz Wagner in All-Star mode without Paolo Banchero. Enough to cool down JJ Redick’s men?
Response from 4:30 a.m.
But also…
- LaMelo Ball vs Cade Cunningham, it’s obvious!
- Jakob Poeltl vs Rudy Gobert, it’s also obvious!
- Spurs – Jazz without Victor Wembanyama, it’s impossible to see.
The French on the bridge
- Tidjane Salaün and Moussa Diabaté against the Pistons.
- Rudy Gobert in Toronto.
- Sidy Cissoko against Jazz?
