On the program for this Friday, a new NBA Cup evening with 8 posters on the program including a California derby between Kings and Clippers.
The evening NBA program
- Washington Wizards – Boston Celtics à 1h
- Philadelphia 76ers – Brooklyn Nets à 1h
- New Orleans Pelicans – Golden State Warriors à 1h30
- Houston Rockets – Portland Trail Blazers à 2h
- Chicago Bulls – Atlanta Hawks at 2pm
- Milwaukee Bucks – Indiana Pacers à 2h
- Denver Nuggets – Dallas Mavericks à 4h
- Los Angeles Clippers – Sacramento Kings at 4:30 a.m.
Finally a victory for the 76ers?
A more than complicated week for Philadelphia, on and off the floor, with this crisis meeting which is still being talked about today.
The 76ers have the worst record in the NBA – 2 wins for 12 losses – and hope to start winning games again. Why not do it this evening with the reception of the very astonishing Nets team?
So, will Philly be the victim of another hot streak from Cam Thomas? Or will the Embiid / Maxey duo (if Embiid plays…) be able to allow the city of brotherly love to return to success? The response from 1 a.m.
New episode between Pacers and Bucks
A semblance of rivalry seems to have arisen between Bucks and Pacers since last season. Giannis Antetokounmpo had put 64 points on the Farmers’ head before being robbed of the match ball. Indiana had eliminated Milwaukee twice. First in the NBA Cup then in the Playoffs. The smell of revenge therefore hangs over this meeting. Especially since the Daims are looking to confirm their current good form with four victories in the last five meetings.
If you like blood, set the alarm for 2 a.m.
Nuggets – Mavericks: duel between two weakened teams
On paper, this poster between Dallas and Denver was enough to attract all eyes. Except that Luka Doncic will be absent and it is also not certain to see Nikola Jokic in uniform this evening.
Right away, this match has less flavor, but it still remains very interesting since we will be treated to a duel between Kyrie Irving and the very overrated (for some) Jamal Murray.
See you at 4 a.m. to see if the Nuggets leader will be able to meet expectations.
Antonio Reeves
The name certainly doesn’t mean anything to you and we can’t blame you. The Pelicans rookie was a no-name full two days ago, but faced with the avalanche of injuries on the NOLA side, he revealed himself against the Cavaliers with 34 points coming off the bench.
Will he be able to reproduce the same performance against the Warriors? To find out, set the alarm for 1:30 a.m.
