Race to the MVP: Joel Embiid now favorite of bookmakers | NBA

Symbol of the uncertainty of the MVP race this season, the Las Vegas bookmakers have just validated a seventh change of favorite.

Nikola Jokic, the force of habit | NBA

To dominate the Pelicans, Nikola Jokic did not force his talent: he simply retained his exceptional level of play in January. The pivot still showed another face in the second half, after a very shy first, with 22 points scored, including 16 in the third quarter thanks to three award-winning baskets. In the Nuggets' victory, he finished with 29 points (11/19 in shooting, 3/6 at 3-pts), 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Another triple-double for him this month, his 6th, and the 69th of his career. He is thus quickly approaching Wilt Chamberlain, with his 78 triple-double. "He's an MVP who does MVP stuff" “He can take control of a game whenever he wants. That's exactly what he did.", notes his new teammate Bryn Forbes for ESPN. "When he puts in at 3-pts, he's almost unstoppable", sa...

The Sixers banned the fan who provoked Carmelo Anthony | NBA

Next night, the 76ers welcome the Kings and Mike Murphy will not be in the bays of the Wells Fargo Center. This fan, although holder of a subscription for the year, has just been banned by the franchise for an indefinite period after his altercation with Carmelo Anthony this week. This spectator in the front row, who was accused of having used the term "boy" (which may have a racist connotation) towards the veteran, had been expelled during the meeting between his favorite team and the Lakers. The winger had found his behavior unacceptable ». According to ESPN, the person concerned was already known to have repeatedly violated the code of conduct for Sixers supporters. « They did what they had to do. I don't think I need to discuss this situation any further now. We all know ...

The MVP of the night | Dejounte Murray tripped the Bulls | NBA

The hugs from Gregg Popovich and Spurs players with DeMar DeRozan, former home just crowned with a 5th participation in the All-Star Game, were all the warmer. In full reconstruction, San Antonio has still managed some nice shots this year, and this victory against the Bulls is one more. Left behind in the standings, the Texans will be able to console themselves by enjoying the evolution of Dejounte Murray this season, the new leader of a formation accustomed to rub shoulders with the peaks for more than 25 years. In addition to having reached a milestone this season, he symbolizes rather well the spirit of the Spurs which advocates above all the strength of the collective. Last night, beyond his 29 points, he still delivered 12 assists, almost a third of his team's offerings, a...

Orlando wins the duel of the dunces of the East | NBA

From the first minutes, the Magic took the lead over the Pistons. In the duel of the rookies, it is Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs who shine the most: they accumulate 10 points, while Cade Cunningham is struggling in attack (0/5). In the wake of its two "lottery picks", the Magic deliver an offensive card in the first quarter: 39 points at 15/22 on shots, including 13 points from Franz Wagner. The Pistons show a new face for the second quarter and pick up at -7 under the impetus of their bench (27 points for the trio Trey Lyles – Rodney McGruder – Killian Hayes), while Gary Harris scores 10 points out of Magic side bench. On the return of the holders from Orlando at the end of the quarter, the scenario at the start of the match repeated itself and the gap swelled again (67-51 at...

Jalen Brunson at a crossroads | NBA

Taking the lead behind Luka Doncic must not be easy and must be accompanied by its share of pressure. Not for Jalen Brunson who quickly knew how to impose his paw on Dallas, following his Draft in 33rd position in 2018, with his style as clean as it is effective. Over the years and opportunities, the son of Rick Bruson has also been able to meet the expectations of his leaders with his regularity, to the point of claiming a big contract at the end of the 2021/22 financial year. Asked by the Bleacher Report, he returned to this evolution which led him to this rather successful first part of the season on a collective and individual level, when he recorded 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 31 minutes on average. “Let's say that my expectations have evolved over time. W...

Celtics don’t want to hear about trade involving Robert Williams III | NBA

As the “trade deadline” approaches, things are stirring behind the scenes and Boston is one of the franchises where we can expect change, the formation of Ime Udoka having marked this exercise above all by its irregularity. While Brad Stevens did not really give a clear lead as to the intentions of the Celtics, the various "insiders" such as Shams Charania (The Athletic), Steve Bulpett (Heavy) and Michael Scotto (HoopsHype) gave a little more details. . To start, among the players likely to move, Boston could agree to let go of Payton Pritchard, Aaron Nesmith and / or Romeo Langford. Which means that other elements likely to weigh in the balance, such as a Grant Williams, would not be affected. (more…)

With his 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, the Spurs point guard achieved his 10th triple-double of the season, and only Nikola Jokic did better this year.
