After pressing the pause button yesterday due to the March Madness final, the NBA is back on track tonight with no less than 13 games on the program! 13 games, including a Sixers – Celtics that smells like the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
# THE PROGRAM
- 1h : Hornets – Raptors
- 1h : Pistons – Heat
- 1h : Magic – Cavaliers
- 1h : Wizards – Bucks
- 1h30 : Nets – Wolves
- 2h : Sixers – Celtics
- 2h : Bulls – Hawks
- 2h : Rockets – Nuggets
- 2h : Grizzlies – Blazers
- 2h : Pelicans – Kings
- 3h : Jazz – Lakers
- 4h : Warriors – Thunder
- 4h : Suns – Spurs
# DO NOT MISS
Sixers – Celtics (2h) : barring cataclysm, these two teams should meet in the Eastern Conference semi-finals in a few weeks. The Celtics seem destined to finish second in the conference (54 wins – 24 losses), while the Sixers will logically finish third (51-27). Translation: tonight’s game is a preview of a future series of Playoffs, which is reason enough to watch the game from start to finish. In addition, Boston and Philadelphia often offer us big battles, like this XXL match at the end of February which was decided at the last second. Let’s hope for a similar suspense tonight, and as few absentees as possible (FYI Jaylen Brown is uncertain).
WHAT AN ENDING IN PHILLY ????

# BUT ALSO
- The race for sixth place in the East: Brooklyn can secure it in the event of a victory + a loss for Miami.
- The Wolves, traveling to the Nets, will absolutely have to react after their very dirty defeat against Portland.
- Bulls – Hawks, a game that weighs heavily in the race for the best places for the play-in in the East.
- Brandon Ingram’s Pelicans, in full swing, will want to continue their ascent against the Kings. Ditto for the Lakers in Utah.
- The Warriors receive the Thunder to try to consolidate their sixth place in the West. As for Oklahoma City, a victory would practically ensure tenth place in the standings, synonymous with participation in the play-in.
