2:00 Lakers vs Eagles (Free Live)
The game against the Hawks is the lakers' last six-game away game in the East, and James will miss out for the third consecutive game due to sore left knee, with Thick Brow (right wrist pain) and Malik Munch (sore groin) playing in doubt. In the last game against the Hornets, despite Zhan Mei's absence, Wei Shao played the best game of the season, and he scored 30 points in the second half, including 11 of the team's final 13 points. Since the "abandonment storm" against the Pacers, Westbrook has averaged 22.4 points per game in the last five games and shot 53.6% from the field, which is very good. But the lack of stability has always been a problem for Wei Shao, and then against the Hawks with 6 consecutive wins, can he continue to play well?
2:00 Clippers vs Hornets
The Clippers have played six games in this eight-game game, and the team has won 3 and lost 3. On the Hornets side, Hayward (health and safety agreement) and Oubre (ankle sprain) are currently on the injury list, they have won nine games in the last 12 games, the last game against the Lakers, the Hornets nearly suffered a reversal after leading by 20 points at one point, facing the "reversal king" Clippers, they obviously will not take it lightly. It's also a battle of redemption for the Hornets, who have suffered seven straight losses against the Clippers since 2017, including a 106-120 loss this season, and the Hornets hope to get a win and avoid being double-killed by the Clippers again.
4:30 Trailblazers vs Bulls
The absences of Lonzo Ball and Caruso challenged the Bulls' defense, and despite DeRozan and Lavin combining 62 points, the Bulls still lost 122-131 to the Spurs in the last game. In the last 10 games, they have conceded 130+ points in three of their games. Playing against the Blazers has been another tough game for the Bulls, and since the start of the game with 2 wins and 13 losses on the road, the Blazers have won 5-2 in their last 7 away games and are no longer away from home. The two teams met once on Nov. 18, with the Bulls losing to the Blazers by five points, and they also hope to complete their revenge in this game.
7:00 Knight vs Pistons
Although several key members have been injured this season, the Cavaliers have moved on, winning eight of their last nine games, and the team has won more than 50% of 11 wins, and the ranking has also risen to fourth place in the East. The Pistons are currently in the rebuilding phase and they are still a long way from becoming a good team, with the Pistons only winning 11 games so far and they currently suffer four straight defeats. Cunningham and Mobley are both big favourites for the best rookies, and the contest between the two potential stars will become a point of view. In the last meeting between the two teams, the Cavaliers beat the Pistons 98-78.
8:00 Lone Ranger vs Magic
Since 2022, the Lone Rangers have won 12 wins and 3 losses, second only to the Suns in the league, and during this period, their defensive efficiency has also ranked first in the league. The Magic have only won 10-40 this season, and their offensive efficiency ranks third from the bottom in the league. Porzingis left early due to injury in the previous game against the Pacers, and against the Magic, Doncic will take on more responsibilities. The two teams have met once this season, with the Lone Rangers scoring the Magic with 16 points and winning five straight against the Magic since the 2019-20 season.
8:00 Nuggets vs Bucks
It was the second time the two teams had met this season, and on November 27 last year, the Nuggets lost 109-120 to the Bucks, and Jokic was absent on the spot. This time, Mr. Jo will stage an MVP duel with Brother Alphabet, and in the past 8 games, Jokic has averaged 29.3 points, 13.1 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, and he has now led the team to four consecutive wins. If another triple-double against the Bucks were delivered, Jokic would be the seventh player in history to have at least 70 triple-doubles after Westbrook, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, Kidd, James and Chamberlain.
9:00 Jazz vs Timberwolves (Free Live)
Although the Jazz are still 30-20, fourth in the West, they have lost 10 of their last 12 games and the team has been in serious crisis. Gobert will continue to miss out against the Timberwolves because of a calf injury, and Mitchell was put on the list of suspects after missing six games due to concussion, and he has a 50% chance of returning. In the first three meetings of the season between the two teams, the Jazz have won, and then the Timberwolves, who hope to sweep their opponents while ending a four-game losing streak.
9:00 Suns vs Spurs
The Suns played 39 wins and 9 losses, not only to hold the first place in the league, but also to create the best record in team history, after the last game to beat the Timberwolves, the Suns won nine consecutive wins, after entering January, their record is 12 wins and 1 loss, the Suns are currently the only team in the league that ranks in the top five in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency. The Spurs have lost to the Suns three times this season, and there is no small gap in the paper strength between the two sides. Spurs guard Dejunta Murray has provided six consecutive assists in double figures, and if he continues to do so against the Suns, he will equal the team-history consecutive assists double-double record held by Johnny Moore.
