The Hawks have had a ups and downs this season, with a seven-game winning streak in mid-to-late November, but have only been 2-4 in their last six games. Against the Hawks, the Rockets will limit Trae Young's scoring, Capela will face the old master, and his and Wood's confrontation will also be key, as the Rockets' top scorer, Wood has scored 20+ in four of the last five games.
9:30 Wasp vs Lone Ranger

For the Hornets, Rozier has lifted his health and safety agreement and he will play in this game against the Lone Ranger. But three goals, Plumlee, McDaniels and Ismail Smith will remain absent. Lone Ranger core Doncic will continue to be sidelined due to a sprained left ankle. In the last game to beat the Thunder, the Lone Ranger bench was threatening, in the second team, they won 25 points, against the Hornets, can the Lone Ranger bench continue such a good state?
10:00 Wizards vs Nuggets (Free Live)

The Wizards are also currently sidelined by multiple players, with Kuzma sidelined for several games for triggering health and safety protocols. Due to height restrictions, the interior defense is the Wizards' weakness, they average points in the top five in the penalty area, and defending Jokic will be a problem for the Wizards.
11:30 Suns vs Clippers
This is the first time the two teams have met this season, in last season's Western Conference Finals, the Clippers lost 2-4 to the Suns, from the mentality point of view, the Clippers are bound to have the idea of revenge in their hearts, but the current status of the two teams is completely different, the Suns are 21 wins and 4 losses ranked first in the league, although Booker is absent, Paul controls the court in the team, and the team's playing style and rhythm grasp are very skilled. In the Clippers, Paul George has been absent for two consecutive games due to an elbow injury, and the team has now entered a state of no nucleus, and if Pepper continues to be absent, the Clippers can only expect the explosion of role players and the ability to maintain a strong three-point firepower if they want to compete with the Suns.
