The NBA slows down a bit this Saturday with just five games on the slate. However, fans can still expect some thrilling action, especially with stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander taking the court. Here’s what to look forward to this evening in the league.
Tonight’s NBA Schedule
- 1:00 AM: Magic vs. Bulls
- 1:30 AM: Hawks vs. Thunder
- 1:30 AM: Sixers vs. Hornets
- 2:00 AM: Grizzlies vs. Pacers
- 2:00 AM: Nuggets vs. Suns
Highlight Matchup: Hawks vs. Thunder
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on fire, scoring 35 points in a double-overtime win against Houston and 55 in another double-overtime victory over Indiana. The next challenge for SGA? Tonight in Atlanta.
Facing a determined Hawks team that recently secured a win against Orlando, Shai could deliver another standout performance, if he has the stamina after logging a staggering 92 minutes in two games. With Jalen Williams sidelined, Gilgeous-Alexander is stepping up offensively to keep the Thunder undefeated so far. Atlanta’s defense will need to be ready for the onslaught.
French Players in Action
- We are hopeful for the return of Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) in the Hawks vs. Thunder game.
- Moussa Diabaté and Tidjane Salaün (Hornets) will be playing in Philadelphia.
- We expect rookies Noa Essengue and Noah Penda to see the court during the Magic vs. Bulls matchup.
- Ousmane Dieng is also anticipated to play in Atlanta.
