Last night we as NBA fans were spoiled with a multitude of games, with 22 teams competing and 11 who came out on top. We found that the Sixers would hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 3-0 after their victory over the Atlanta Hawks. While on the Western Conference, the Spurs and Nuggets join the Minnesota Timberwolves in contention for the top spot in the early stages of the season.
Tonight we’re scheduled for 3 games, a total of 6 teams squaring off.
We kick things off tonight with an Eastern Conference match-up with the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. This is an exciting match-up, to say the least. On one side with Miami, they’ve gotten off to a good start with rookie Tyler Herro being a menace on the offensive end. Even with their successes so far this season, the Heat only get better, with star forward Jimmy Butler entering the line-up for the first time this season. On the other side of the coin, the Atlanta Hawks have been on an upswing so far, with Trae Young and the young team performing well. We can almost assume that the game will being nothing less than an offensive shootout.
Secondly, we have a Western Conference match-up with the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets. Both teams have started off strong, with two fairly different approaches to their off-season. The Nuggets have mostly maintained their roster, while the Mavericks have shifted focus towards their core of Porzingis and Doncic. Doncic has had incredible stretch of games so far, heavily setting the tone for himself now going into his second year. The Nuggets have generally been a very team-oriented offense, surrounded around Jokic, Harris, and Murray.
And now to round off our list, we have a game that I personally like to call, youth versus experience with another Western Conference battle with the Grizzlies and the Lakers. The Grizzlies just came off a resounding win over the Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets with rookie point guard Ja Morant leading the charge while the Lakers just came off a strong victory over the Charlotte Hornets as well. As previously stated, this game really is youth versus experience, which will be interesting to see how both teams will stack up against one another.
