Only three games are on the schedule for a split NBA night, featuring a French appetizer early on and a Californian showdown at 5 AM. So, will you root for the Loire Atlantique or Los Angeles?

Tonight’s Schedule:

  • 1:00 AM: Wizards vs. Hawks
  • 2:00 AM: Sixers vs. Magic
  • 5:00 AM: Lakers vs. Clippers

A Must-Watch Matchup: Lakers vs. Clippers

The two Los Angeles teams are on quite different trajectories, but this matchup is always an event, regardless of their standings. Notably, the game will take place at 5 AM, an accessible time for the brave souls wanting to kickstart their day before heading to work.

The Lakers have won 8 of their last 10 games, and all seems well within the franchise. LeBron James has returned without overshadowing the stellar seasons of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Deandre Ayton continues to perform well inside, while Jake LaRavia has been impactful off the bench.

On the other side, James Harden is exceptional, carrying the Clippers almost single-handedly. Kawhi Leonard has made a quiet return, but the Clippers appear to be on the brink of a collapse. Their neighbors will be keen to exploit this and keep them under pressure.

The Rest of the Schedule:

  • Will the fit Hawks have an easy time against the Wizards?
  • A strong Eastern duel between the Sixers and a Magic team on the rise.

French Players to Watch:

  • Bilal Coulibaly and Zaccharie Risacher will go head-to-head on the wing.
  • Alexandre Sarr aims to continue dominating in the paint against Onyeka Okongwu and Jalen Johnson.
  • Noah Penda will look to confirm his recent good performance against the Sixers.
  • Nicolas Batum will take on the challenge of defending LeBron James.
