The NBA Christmas war is about to start, and the most notable battle at the end of the year is undoubtedly the two focus battles of the Lakers vs Nets and the Warriors' three-time battle against the Suns. It is reported that the average ticket price of this year's Christmas war has refreshed the ticket price record of previous years in the NBA league.
Recently, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash said in an interview that Harden and Griffin will be able to play in this year's Christmas war, in addition to revealing that Bembry has successfully lifted the health and safety agreement.
This news is undoubtedly a great news for the Nets, to know that the Nets have been unable to get 8 players to participate in the game before, had to postpone the game, but tomorrow is a major battle, presumably everyone does not want to miss it.
However, many fans are most concerned about whether the Nets' star Durant can play, the day Durant triggered the health and safety agreement is December 19, if according to the original regulations, then Durant will have to quarantine for at least 10 days. However, recently, there is gossip from the league that the NBA league will likely change the original 10 quarantine rule to 6 days of quarantine.
If this measure is carried out immediately, then Lao Du will be just able to enter the competition. It is also worth mentioning that the last time James and Durant played was on December 25, 2018, and since then, Durant and James have not met on the court.
The Warriors' three-time battle against the Suns is also a Christmas war that many fans pay attention to, the two sides have won one battle in the previous two meetings, but the Suns have seized the Warriors' first place in the West with a record of 26 wins and 5 losses, and the Warriors are second in the West with a score of 26 wins and 6 losses, and now this is continuing to stage the Western Conference Finals.
In terms of personnel, the Golden State Warriors are Curry and Green can play, but the other two core players of the team, Wiggins and Poole, may be absent from the Christmas war. The reason is that Wiggins and Poole triggered the security agreement successively, and the inability of these two to play is a major loss for the Warriors. On the other hand, the Suns are basically not confused by the epidemic, only Kaminsky, Nadir and Sharic cannot compete, but this does not have a big impact on the Suns, after all, paul, Ayton and Booker, the three core players are playing normally.
In the second meeting between the two sides, although Paul and Ayton were stable output, Curry hit 6 three-pointers to revive the game, and Wiggins and Poole played a good performance at that time, and finally the Warriors locked the game in the third quarter and won with a 22-point difference.
However, in the upcoming third battle, the Warriors may meet the Suns without Wiggins and Poole, but the Suns are basically all-staffed. The Warriors have been pulled apart by the Suns in the lineup, and the Suns have won 5 consecutive games, and the state has been in good shape, in the overall situation, the Warriors want to take down the Christmas war is still extremely difficult.
