The Nets and Spurs meet, and they also hope to sweep away the haze with a win. Watch NBA games, all in Tencent Sports, the following is a forward summary (home team is behind).
1:00 Spurs vs Nets
The Nets have lost four of their last five games, and the reason for this is that the team's defense has deteriorated significantly, and in the last five games, the Nets have lost 120 points per 100 rounds, and their defensive efficiency ranks third from the bottom in the league in the same period, only to the Blazers and The Hawks. Despite Durant's flawless play, the imbalance between attack and defense has made it difficult for the Nets. With the team sitting at home against the Spurs, Irving is still unable to play, and the Nets first need to recover the lost defense. On the offensive end, due to the Nets' poor three-point firepower and the team's tight offensive space, Harden has scored less than 20 points in three consecutive games, and he also needs to find a way to find an offensive feeling and share the pressure for Durant.
4:30 Eagles vs Clippers (Free Live)
After a 16-12 start, the Clippers have gone three-to-nine in their last 12 games, and with this wave of three straight losses, they have fallen out of the top eight in the West. The main problem the Clippers are facing right now is the lack of depth, and their stability is not enough to sustain an entire game. The Hawks are also not in a good position, with their last seven games 2-5 and starting center Capela unlikely to play against the Clippers due to a sprained left ankle. The Eagles attack lightly, and the Clippers are defensively strong and weak, and the two sides will stage two style competitions.
7:00 Wizards vs Magic
The Magic had previously lost to the Pistons in the final battle, suffered an eight-game losing streak, back-to-back against the Wizards, and it wasn't easy for them to win. The Wizards have struggled just as lately, but Beal has been very consistent over the past period of time, having scored 25+ in eight consecutive games. The two teams have met once this season, with the Wizards beating the Magic 104-92 on the road, in which Beal was absent for personal matters.
7:00 Pelicans vs Raptors
The Raptors have shown a strong form after restoring the full roster, and since entering 2022, they have won five consecutive games, during which time the Raptors have both offensive and defensive, scoring 119.6 points per 100 rounds, ranking fourth in the league in offensive efficiency, losing 107.4 points per 100 rounds, and ranking 10th in defensive efficiency. VanVleet has been extremely impressive in his last few games, having finished 30+ in four of his last five games, including 37 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the last game against the Jazz. Against the defensively weak Pelicans, can Van Jordan continue his strong performance?
8:00 Timberwolves vs Rockets
The two teams have met once this season, with the Timberwolves winning 124-106. In that game, the Timberwolves trio Towns, Edwards and Russell scored a total of 81 points. This time again, The backcourt combination of Jaran Green and Kevin Porter Jr. will be PK with Edwards and Russell, Downs and Wood will also be in the game, and the Timberwolves are looking forward to a victory on the Rockets to consolidate the top eight position in the West.
8:00 Nuggets vs Thunder
The Nuggets have lost to the Thunder by 14 points this season, and in that game, Jokic was unusual, he only scored 13 points on the spot, and Alexander had a triple-double of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and the Nuggets rebounded and fell behind the opponent 39-60. Rebounding protection has always been an old problem for the Nuggets, who have averaged only 42.8 rebounds per game this season, ranking second from the bottom, and facing the Thunder with excellent rebounding ability, the Nuggets also have to learn the lessons of the last loss and be prepared to deal with it.
8:30 Bull vs Lone Ranger
The Bulls, who have won nine straight, are the hottest team in the league, and the duo of DeRozan and LaVine guarantees the team's lower limit. If the Bulls get one more win, they will tie the best winning streak in the post-Jordan era. On the Lone Ranger's side, Doncic,who missed a game due to an ankle sprain, has escalated to a suspected game, and he has a 50% chance of playing. The two teams have met once this season, with the Bulls winning 117-107. Since the 2019-20 season, the Bulls have won four straight against the Lone Ranger.
9:30 Knights vs Warriors (Free Live, Video Number Sync)
It was supposed to be a normal game, but it became unusual because of the return of Klay Thompson. After more than two years of not playing, how can Thompson play in his returning debut? What will the Warriors' rotation and chemistry look like after he re-enters the lineup? These questions are yet to be answered. It is worth mentioning that Klay Thompson is only 5 points away from reaching the 12,000-point milestone, only 2 three-pointers will reach the 1800 three-point mark, this return night is also expected to become a milestone night of Thompson, if Thompson shows a brilliant performance, help the team to get the 30th win of the season, which is undoubtedly a great joy for the Warriors.
10:00 Kings vs Trailblazers
The Blazers currently face injuries, with Lillard (an abdominal injury), McCollum (pneumothorax) and Nance Jr. (with a knee injury) all remaining sidelined. The Kings also had multiple injuries, with Holmes and Meitu continuing to be absent because of health and safety agreements, and Fox's appearance in the game was doubtful because of sore right shoulder. The two teams have met twice this season, with the Kings winning both games but winning just three and four points in both games. It will be the final fixture of the season between the two sides, and if the Kings win again, it will be their first sweep of the Blazers since the 1970-71 season.
10:30 Grizzlies vs Lakers
The Lakers have found their own chemistry equation in recent times, and they have won a four-game winning streak, setting a record for the longest winning streak of the season. James played very comfortably in the center position, not only brilliant statistics, but also able to lead the team to victory, when LeBron played the starting center, the Lakers won 5 wins and 0 losses. Against the Grizzlies, who have won 8 straight, the Lakers will face a severe test. With Grizzlies center Adams missing this game due to the triggering of the health and safety agreement, and the Lakers are expected to still use a five-small lineup, can James lead the team to continue the winning streak?
