Progsport Basketball Prediction

We will quickly recall the situation of the Cavaliers. They are 4th in the East, 48 wins - 29 losses, with the near certainty of finishing top 4. Now, isn't 4th place nicer than 3rd place? Indeed, with 4th place, you face Detroit in the conference semi-finals perhaps deprived of Cunningham and inexperienced. On the other hand, you eat the Knicks or the Celtics in half. For now, the Cavaliers have done the job without forcing in the middle of the week in front of the Warriors 111-118.  The Indiana Pacers 13th, 18 wins - 59 losses at the moment will end the 2025-26 season hoping to keep the benefit of their first round of Draft promised to the Clippers if it is between 1st and 4th. This is the only nice issue, the only little excitement for the Pacers unable to adapt to Tyrese Haliburton's injury during this regular season. The reigning Eastern Conference champion, winner of the Heat 135-118 and Bulls 126-145 at the start of the week, lost his means to the Hornets 129-108. 

The Pelicans 12th in the Western Conference 25 wins - 53 losses abandoned the project at the end of the season. The defeats accumulate for the partners of Zion, Murray, and Murphy III, no less than 7 in a row, and the 7th for once is really not good at all. The Pelicans were up to 17 points ahead against the Kings before being caught at the end of the game in front of Max Raynaud 28 points and his friends. They were beaten 117-113. Opposite, the Orlando Magic are in a hurry but thanks to a favorable part of the calendar at the end of the week should stock up on points. Indeed, the Orlando Magic at the time of moving to the Dallas Mavericks remained on 8 defeats in 10 games, massacred by the Atlanta Hawks 101-130. Urgent situation for Orlando finally victorious ahead of the Dallas Mavericks 127-138 in pain. 

The defeat suffered by the San Antonio Spurs in the race for 1st place will do the OKC Thunder a lot of good, that's obvious. If successful this evening should put an end to the debate 1 week before the end of the regular season. Tested 3 times, 3 times at home, the OKC Thunder won their last 3 games ahead of the New York Knicks 111-100, the Detroit Pistons 114-110 and the LA Lakers 139-96. The Utah Jazz 15th in the Western Conference showed consistency in the race for the last places, rewarded with a good bottom place in order to best optimize performance for the upcoming Draft. The Utah Jazz have lost their last 8 games in the NBA, including 5 at home during this series. The week got off to a bad start for the Utah Jazz forced to face the best teams in the league, beaten in front of the Cavaliers 113-122, the Nuggets 117-130 and the Rockets 140-106.
