The world’s best and biggest professional basketball league is wowing fans and pundits all over the world with a plethora of storylines and impressive individual feats. The NBA has stars that can turn games around with a snap of a finger, and these men are playing come Thursday morning!
Three of the stars we’ll be giving our focus for today are Kemba Walker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard. These Eastern Conference studs have been sending shockwaves throughout the league with their individual plays. These men have made plenty of NBA 2018 highlights just by the quality of their play alone.
While there are 13 games available on that day, expect these ballers to stand out and make their stake in the season.
Indiana Pacers @ Charlotte Hornets (November 22, 07:00 GMT+8)
The Indiana Pacers have been a dangerous team since Victor Oladipo and will be a sure threat to Walker and the Charlotte Hornets. They have struggled to find a stable footing to improve on their previous performances, but I don’t think Walker will let them down in this game.
The Hornets haven’t been the best team in the Eastern Conference, but Walker is singlehandedly doing everything to force the team into the playoff picture. He will surely score his way to another W here.
New Orleans Pelicans @ Philadelphia 76ers (November 22, 07:00 GMT+8)
The Jimmy Butler show in Philadelphia is off to a great start, and things are looking peachy in the City of Brotherly Love. He, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are set to create one of the strongest teams the 76ers will ever get to witness if things go their way.
Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans will be one of the bigger tests for this new-look 76ers. If they manage to stop Davis from his usual numbers of 27.6ppg and 12.4rpg, they’re set to compete for the top spot in the East.
Toronto Raptors @ Atlanta Hawks (November 22, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Toronto Raptors have flourished under Kawhi Leonard and are currently the best team in the Eastern Conference. With his 24.8ppg average combined with his two-way play, he has helped the Raptors sit at the top of the Eastern Conference.
They should have no problem dealing with a young Atlanta Hawks side with a haphazard flamethrower in Trae Young as their scoring leader.
New York Knicks @ Boston Celtics (November 22, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Boston Celtics are far from the perennial playoff contenders that they were last season as they struggle to fit in both Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward in this team that pushed LeBron James‘ Cleveland Cavaliers during the last postseason.
They better get things sorted soon or they may find themselves losing to weaker outfits like the New York Knicks.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Cleveland Cavaliers (November 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
This is an interesting game for both the Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Cleveland will be welcoming back LeBron James as he plays for another jersey once more, while the Lakers will be pinning their hopes on the King in order to make the playoffs.
The Cavaliers are far from being the toughest competition for James, but I’m sure that LeBron will be helping his Lakers play dominant basketball against his hometown club.
Phoenix Suns @ Chicago Bulls (November 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
Both of these squads have struggled to get victories as they are still far from finishing their rebuilds. However, SBOBET fans can look forward to a somewhat high-scoring affair as both Devin Booker and Zach LaVine have hot shooting hands to start the season.
Detroit Pistons @ Houston Rockets (November 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Houston Rockets have finally enjoyed some winning basketball after letting go of Carmelo Anthony. While there are still plenty of problems for the Rockets, they should have no problem competing with a resurging Blake Griffin and his Detroit Pistons.
Portland Trail Blazers @ Milwaukee Bucks (November 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to keep themselves from getting into early-game deficits, but Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 26 points per game have kept them in the running for being the top dog in the East. They have a tough visitor in the Trail Blazers, but I don’t think the Greek Freak will allow his team to be grossly outplayed on their own floor.
Denver Nuggets @ Minnesota Timberwolves (November 22, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Minnesota Timberwolves have somehow found their form after the Jimmy Butler trade, but Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins failed to lift the team against a veteran Memphis squad. They will try to restart their winning run against a Denver Nuggets team that lost against New Orleans and Milwaukee. The NBA 2018 odds will be interesting for this game, as it’s hard to predict how this match would end up.
Brooklyn Nets @ Dallas Mavericks (November 22, 08:30 GMT+8)
The Nets have struggled to find a scoring leader ever since Caris LeVert went through that tough injury earlier in the month. I think that the lack of a consistent scorer would not let the Nets play their usual basketball against the high-rolling Mavericks.
Memphis Grizzlies @ San Antonio Spurs (November 22, 08:30 GMT+8)
The Memphis Grizzlies continue to defy logic as they keep their proven core of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol going on a winning run. However, I’m not sure if they can keep up their grit-and-grind mentality against the currently-struggling-but-constantly-threatening San Antonio Spurs.
Sacramento Kings @ Utah Jazz (November 22, 09:00 GMT+8)
Sacramento’s red-hot start has seemingly come to an end as fluttered over the last couple of games. Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have struggled to win in front of their home crowd. This game should be a welcome respite for them after a horrible road trip saw them lose three of their last five games.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors (November 22, 10:30 GMT+8)
The Golden State Warriors haven’t been the perfect team to the eyes of some fans, and they are currently on a losing streak. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder are currently enjoying themselves with a steady winning streak. However, the Warriors will always be a tough team to play against.
