Only eight nights before the final gong of the regular season, more than eight sleeps (absolutely not at all) and we will know the twelve qualified for the Playoffs and the eight teams concerned by the play-in tournament. Tonight part of the decision will be made from 9:30 p.m., already, with the Lakers who will shoot one of their last cards. And you know what ? We are ABSOLUTELY not confident about LeBron James and his clique of broken arms.

# The match of the night, finally according to us
Lakers – Nuggets (21h30) : unmissable, because it may be tonight that the almost death knell of the Lakers 2021-22 will be sounded. If LeBron James and co. and wins for Spurs and Pelicans? The chances of qualifying for the Lakers will fall to around 15%, and to ward off the fate it will therefore be necessary to pull out your fingers against the Nuggets who are still solid and carried by a fabulous Jokic night after night. It will take an LBJ / AD duo in Playoffs mode to win, but not only, because unlike their evening opponents, the Nuggets are a real basketball team, with a collective, a defense and a game plan. Writing these lines clearly smells like liquid manure for LAL but be careful, Frank Vogel (c ki him?) will be able to count on two all-time players, well above all one, capable of knocking down mountains on their own. That’s good, this match is one and good news, 9:30 p.m. is still the perfect time.
# Also to watch
- The usual Sunday lease, namely Jayson Tatum who plants 38 at aperitif time.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo against Luka Doncic, the first to turn 80 in the TTFL, won. Index: Greece.
- A magnificent tank race between the Pacers and Pistons that could beautifully leave the win to Indiana, if they think a little bit.
- On 8/25/8 Killian Hayes against Tyrese Haliburton.
- Joel Embiid who will try to approach 50/15 against one of his favorite doormats.
- The Vavanici between the Knicks and the Magic, we will clearly wait for the highlights the next day.
- The shock of the night at the Esrt, between the Heat who will try to consolidate their first place in Conf and the Raptors who will want to deviate almost definitively from the play-in places.
- The Wolves who want to believe in sixth place and who will probably stick 35 to the Rockets.
- 35 as Jalen Green’s likely point total.
- Thunder – Suns, kind of clash between Yajirobé and Cell but with a French accent.
- Spurs who will be happy to keep the pressure on the Lakers, or downright put their noses in the shit if ever Los Angeles loses earlier in the evening.
- The Kings who will probably beat the Warriors, Kangz basketball.
- The Pelicans who can almost guarantee their place in the play-in in the event of a victory against the Clippers, who will not be asked to help, emoji eyes hum hum.
