The Los Angeles Lakers 5th, 20 wins - 10 losses are engaged in a fierce fight between several franchises fighting for the best spots in the top 6 of the Western Conference, directly qualifying for the Play-offs, remember. In this little game, for the moment, the Los Angeles Lakers are the big losers with a record of 5 defeats in the last 10 games, or 3 defeats in the last 4 games. A series stopped by a 125-101 success in front of the Sacramento Kings. The Detroit Pistons 1st, 24 victories - 8 defeats, are suffering the blow. Cade Cunningham's partners, generally on overdrive, have lost their last two matches in this road trip to the West, and not necessarily against the best teams. Indeed, Motor City opened Pandora's box by falling against the Utah Jazz initially 131-129, before crashing against the Los Angeles Clippers 112-99 by Kawhi Leonard in XXL 55 point mode.

The Utah Jazz 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 12 wins and 19 losses has so far achieved a magnificent feat after losing, as a reminder this summer, guys like Clarkson, Collins and Sexton. The reconstruction project is still active for the moment in Salt Lake City and there are many questions. The sudden rise to power of K.George opens up new perspectives, namely studying a trade around Markkanen in order to recover young players. For now, Jazz remains on a surprising success ahead of Spurs 114-127. Boston, a franchise with 18 NBA titles, the last of which only dates back to 2023, is a franchise that had to adapt to Tatum's injury at the start of the season. Not at all easy for a player to achieve a regular season without his superstar, ask the Pacers 15th with Haliburton, so a lot of good things to say about Boston present on the podium of the Eastern Conference 19 victories - 12 defeats in the absence of its superhero. On the other hand, the 4-game road trip to the West in which Boston is engaged got off to a bad start with a setback against Portland 114-108 48 hours ago. 

After success against the reigning champion and leader of the Western Conference, the OKC Thunder, 111-109, then 130-110, and as part of Christmas in OKC 102-117, San Antonio took 2nd place in the ranking 23 wins - 9 losses. In overflowing confidence, "Wemby" and his gang nevertheless lost their means in front of the modest formation of the Utah Jazz with a score of 114-127 and finally in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-113 although not in their best form. You will have understood, these two defeats in a row are a real problem for the SA Spurs. Obvious professional misconduct for a declining Cleveland franchise. Traveling to the New York Knicks to open the Christmas card last week, Cleveland had the match in hand, leading by +17 with 8 minutes remaining, before being devastated by the stifling atmosphere of a white-hot Madison Square Garden 126-124. Beaten 4 times already in the last 6 games, the toll has become even heavier for the Cavaliers massacred by the Houston Rockets deprived of A.Sengun 117-100.
