Progsport Basketball Prediction

On a series of 8 consecutive successes in the NBA, the Denver Nuggets 4th, 50 wins - 28 losses, however, still cannot outrun the Houston Rockets 5th, 49 wins - 29 losses. On the other hand, they are closer and closer to the Los Angeles Lakers 3rd, 50 wins - 28 losses. Denver, you will have understood, is playing very big at the end of the season, winning as a boss ahead of the San Antonio Spurs 136-134 ap in a final match which smelled of the Play-offs. Portland, in 9th place in the Western Conference 40 victories - 38 defeats, it is a total success for a franchise deprived of its superstar Lillard for the entire regular season, and orphan of Simons trading its best scorer last year. But nothing to cool the ardor of a Portland guided with a master hand by Deni Avdija 24 points on average and victorious 3 times in a row against the Washington Wizards 123-88, LA Clippers 104-114 and New Orleans Pelicans 118-106. 

Everything will be decided now for the Orlando Magic 9th in the Eastern Conference, 42 victories - 36 defeats in the tough this year but still with the possibility of changing the course of things. Indeed, the Florida players, thanks to two recent successes against the poorly ranked Dallas Mavericks 127-138 and Pelicans 108-112, combined with defeats in front of Toronto in Boston and Philly in front of Detroit, can once again aspire to make the top 6, provided of course that they no longer lose a single match. The Detroit Pistons 57 wins - 27 losses, winners of 8 of their last 10 games, have almost assured the 1st place now. With 4 games remaining in this regular season, Detroit definitively validated first place in the Eastern Conference thanks to a success against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road 93-116. A position which reflects a radical change in the franchise for JB Bickerstaff's second year at the helm of the group.
