Timing coincidence: Los Angeles and Cleveland meet this evening after lively trade period last night. The Clippers have indeed sent James Harden to the Cavaliers in order to recover Darius Garland. The incompatibility between Harden and Kawhi was often mentioned, the decision has been made, now it remains to be seen whether or not LA will have the same success as in recent months. The Clippers 9th, 23 wins - 26 losses with James Harden injured at the last minute lost their last match against the 76ers 113-128. Same story for the Cavaliers. The current fifth in the Eastern Conference 30 wins - 21 losses changed course by recruiting James Harden to the detriment of Darius Garland. A choice motivated by this desire to take a step forward in the Play-offs, this year after a cruel failure last year. The Cavaliers, winners of 7 of their last 8 games in the NBA, recently began a 5-game road trip to the West. After starting with a loss to the Suns 126-113, Cleveland beat Portland 111-130. 

The New York Knicks at the start of the year put their hands together to modulate a squad beaten in front of the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 Eastern Conference final. Thibodeau left his team, leaving responsibility to Mike Brown who had recently been fired by the Kings. Also, the bench had been reinforced by the arrival of Clarkson from the Jazz. With a dominant team on paper, NY won this year's NBA Cup, is in 2nd place in the East 32-18, winner of its last 7 games ahead of the Nets, Kings, 76ers, Raptors, Blazers, Lakers and Wizards last night 101-132. The Denver Nuggets were on the road last night to challenge the Eastern Conference leaders Detroit Pistons. A Denver inevitably shaken after a setback at the start of the week on the night of Sunday to Monday after a setback to the OKC Thunder 111-121. It was very hard for David Adelman's men in this game against the Pistons, the gap rose to +20 in the 3rd quarter 73-53, before seeing the Denver Nuggets 3 points in the 4th quarter 117-114, but the Pistons will keep this advantage to win 124-121.

Is he staying or is he going? For now, forget this success against the Chicago Bulls with a score of 131-115 which ended a series of 5 consecutive successes, but stay focused on the Greek's departure desires. We're talking about the strongest player the franchise has ever had. Yes, Abdul-Jabar won the first title here, but he only stayed for 5 years, when the Greek is twice that. In 2022 Giannis became the best scorer in franchise history already, surpassing KAJ. The legend expressed his desire to stay in Milwaukee this morning in a local newspaper. Case to be continued.The NOLA Pelicans will also have their say in the race for the trade deadline. Their word for the Play-in has been forgotten for a long time, now the Bayou franchise must focus its energy on reconstruction. Around Zion? Sell ​​it? Keep T.Murphy III at the heart of the project? The questions to which leaders have no answers at the moment are very numerous. The Pelicans 14th in the West 13 wins - 39 losses lost their first 2 on a road trip to the East in front of Philly 124-114 and Charlotte 102-95.
