On December 18th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will continue. The following is a preview of tomorrow’s game:
Warriors (23-5) VS Raptors (13-15) (08:30)
The Warriors are currently on a five-game away trip in the East. They have scored 3 wins and 1 loss in the first 4 away games, losing only to the 76ers. With their outstanding performance, the Warriors surpassed the Suns to regain the first place in the league. Due to continuous overloading and back-to-back operations tomorrow, Warriors coach Steve Kerr announced that the five main players in the game against the Raptors will be suspended: Stephen Curry (rotation) and Wiggins ( Left knee soreness), Dreaming Green (right hip tension), Iguodala (right knee) and Porter (left foot). It is worth mentioning that because Poole triggered the alliance’s health and safety agreement, these six generals will fly directly back to the Bay Area and will not go to Toronto to watch the game. If the Warriors can overcome the disadvantages and defeat the Raptors, they will tie the team’s third-best record in the previous 30 games created in the 2014-15 season.
On the other hand, the Raptors, due to the delay of the last game with the Bulls, they have been given a three-day rest period, which clearly has the upper hand in physical fitness. Coupled with the fact that the Warriors take turns to take multiple cores, the chances of winning the Raptors at home are very high. Siakam is currently in hot form, with a score of 23+ in 3 of the past 5 games. In addition, Van Fleet also maintained an efficient play, scoring 31 points in the last game against the Nets.
Magic (5-25) VS Nets (21-8) (08:30)
The Nets will host the Magic tomorrow at home. This is the third time the two sides have met this season. In the first two encounters, the Nets led the Magic 2-0 by a big score. However, according to the latest news, Kevin Durant (right ankle soreness) and Mills (turn off) will both be absent from this matchup. Tomorrow again to clash with the Magic, the Nets have 11 players missing. Due to the fact that multiple players on the team triggered the league’s health and safety agreement, they used difficult exceptions to sign three players in a row in the last two days to make up for the loss of the lineup. If the Nets can beat the Magic, the record will be improved to 22 wins and 8 losses, which also surpassed the 2002-03 season (21 wins and 9 losses), creating the team’s best record of 30 games in history.
In contrast, the Magic, the team just lost to the Heat 85-99 at home, suffered a wave of 7-game losing streak. Like the Nets, the team is currently suffering from staff irregularities. There are 5 people on the team that trigger health and safety regulations. To make matters worse, center Wendell Carter Jr. injured his knee in a game with the Heat and could only leave the field in a wheelchair. At present, the number of Magic missed due to the new crown or injury has reached 12 people.
Rockets (9-20) VS Pistons (4-23) (01:00)
The Pistons will host the Rockets tomorrow, which is also the last time the two sides have faced each other in the regular season of this season. On November 11, the Pistons defeated the Rockets 112-104 for the first time. It is worth mentioning that the Pistons have suffered a 13-game losing streak, only one game short of the longest losing streak in a single season in the team’s history. Faced with the lack of a major Rockets, they will have the best chance to end the losing streak.
