Progsport Basketball Prediction

2016 NBA champion, Cleveland returned towards the start of the 2020s with good intentions under the leadership of coach JB Bickerstaff now in Detroit. Hired in 2024, coach Atkinson allowed the Cavs last season, the year of his induction, to finish 1st in the conference before being beaten in the conference semi-finals by the Pacers. This season, we are aiming for the opposite in Cleveland: a slightly worse regular season but a postseason title. Qualified for the playoffs via 4th place 52 wins - 30 losses, the franchise which remained on 5 wins in its last 6 duels in the NBA, massacred Toronto in match 1 126-113. The Toronto Raptors, 5th in the Eastern Conference at the end of the regular season with a record of 46 wins - 36 losses, lost the first match of this Play-off campaign. But they still have the possibility of recovering the home advantage in the event of success this evening in this match 2. The Canadians were crunched in the interior sector without any surprise during match 1 which took place on Saturday at 7:00 p.m., 33 rebounds against 27, and above all 52 points in the paint against 36, while the shooting percentages 54 against 52 and long distance 50 against 48 were similar. 

Dad LeBron James 41 hasn't said his last word yet, ladies and gentlemen. Indeed, after having carried as a reminder of his franchise during the last 3 games of the regular season in front of the Golden State Warriors 103-119, the Phoenix Suns 101-73 and the Utah Jazz 131-107 in order to validate a place in the top 4, the King, flag bearer of the "Lakers delegation" in the absence of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves took matters in hand with a very nice 9-15 a shooting 19 points, helped by the masterful performance of Luke Kennard 9-13 shooting, 5-5 long distance, best scorer of the match. Los Angeles won Game 1 107-98. Fifth in the Western Conference at the end of the regular season with 1 victory for the Lakers, the Rockets finished close to the Lakers in the general classification. This clash reflects the immense density present in the left part of the USA this year. However, before Game 1, a few days beforehand precisely, knee-to-knee contact with a teammate in training will definitely change the situation in this series. Because following the latter Kevin Durant will be sent to treatment, leaving the Rockets without a leader, who therefore took on water in game 1 lost 107-98.
