After a loss to the Boston Celtics last week 119-109, OKC quickly regained control of operations by logically beating the Chicago Bulls 131-113. Following this success, Thunder players were tested twice, by two top 3 franchises in the Eastern Conference. At first, they beat the New York Knicks easily with a score of 111-100 before being jostled by the Detroit Pistons who were deprived of 4 starters. The reigning champion and leader was trailing by 7 points 4 minutes from the end 90-97 before coming back and then winning the overtime bet 114-110. 15 wins in the last 16 meetings for OKC. The Los Angeles Lakers 3rd, 50 wins - 26 losses hold on tight, have won 13 of their last 14 games. Obviously we're going to try this odds at almost 4.00 for the Lakers this evening. Why? Because in addition to this series, some teams now want to test themselves like the Celtics who won the Thunder last week. With 48 hours to go, the Lakers of Doncic, Reaves and James folded the Cleveland Cavaliers of Mitchell in half 127-113. 

Nice surprise in the West this year, Portland plays part of its future in the next matches. 8th place is crucial in order to maximize your chances of qualifying for the Play-offs. Indeed, if the match against the 7th Phoenix is ​​lost, behind it there will be a match against the winner of the 9th against the 10th, which is also at home in the Moda Center. To do this, Portland has won 7 of its last 9 games, including the last crucial date against the Los Angeles Clippers 104-114 in the Intuit Dome. Now it's time for the New Orleans Pelicans who are 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 25 wins - 51 losses. All is not lost for the Bayou franchise as the end of the season was very enjoyable with the returns of Murray, Bey, plus the continued presence of Zion Williamson. Provided they avoid repeated physical problems, New Orleans should be around the first part of the table next year. However, the end of the season is a little more delicate, like the 5 consecutive losses conceded by the Pelicans to the Cavaliers 106-111, Knicks 121-116, Pistons 129-108, Raptors 119-106 and Rockets 102-134. 

The Warriors 10th, 36 wins - 40 losses, deprived of Curry for a while and heavily beaten in Denver at the start of the week 116-93, wanted to react at home last night against the San Antonio Spurs. But we suspected that it was going to be complicated in front of Victor Wembanyama and his friends. The Frenchman massacred the Warriors deprived of their 3 offensive options inside, namely Porzingis, Post and Horford, with no less than 41 points in front of a helpless Draymond Green. The Cleveland Cavaliers, fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 47 wins - 29 losses, approach the end of the season with the feeling of having accomplished their duty overall. The place in the top 4 given the lead over 5th Atlanta 44 wins - 33 losses seems definitive. Despite this back-to-back setback at the Los Angeles Lakers 127-113 after a success at the Jazz 113-122, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain in fact master of their destiny in the race for the Play-offs.
