NBA Preview: Golden State Warriors (29-29) at Los Angeles Lakers (27-32)

With their first meeting of the post-All-Star break schedule on Thursday at Los Angeles, the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers must work quickly to improve their playoff positions.

As they attempt to move up from play-in tournament eligibility to a top-six Western Conference spot and an automatic first-round spot, the Warriors, the defending champions, will be looking for defensive commitment.

The Lakers’ sole objective is to qualify for the postseason, regardless of whether they are in play-in or better status. The Lakers’ season has not been what they expected, placing them 13th in the 15-team Western Conference. However, they are just two games away from a play-in spot in the standings.

The Warriors lost three of their last four games before the All-Star break without star Stephen Curry, including a 134-124 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on February 14 that highlighted their defensive issues.

Curry’s return from a left leg injury is something like fourteen days away, despite the fact that he has gotten back to the training court this week for non-contact work. Gary Payton II was brought in to provide perimeter defense, but he will miss at least a month due to a hip injury.

Draymond Green, a seasoned player for Golden State, makes no apologies for the team’s defensive efforts and ultimately takes responsibility for himself.

With a new style, the Lakers will move forward. After being traded, Russell Westbrook’s polarizing time with the team has come to an end. With the additions of Rui Hachimura, D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Mo Bamba, Los Angeles created a roster that was more diverse.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis will keep on driving the charge on the court as well as holding the essential obligation regarding benefiting from the redid program.

James averages 30.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. Davis has 12.3 rebounds and 26.0 points. A bruise on James’ right hand prevented him from participating in the All-Star game’s second half; however, the injury is not thought to be serious.

James’ expectations for the remaining six to eight weeks of the regular season are far more serious.

James is expected to lead the Lakers through the playoffs, and the five newcomers have only played one game together.

NBA Preview: Oklahoma City Thunder (28-29) at Utah Jazz (29-31)

Lauri Markkanen, a forward for the Utah Jazz, described his first All-Star experience as “surreal.” While he could have utilized different words, Oklahoma City Thunder monitor Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an outlook on the same way.

Gilgeous-Alexander particularly found the All-Star Game segment in which LeBron James soared to stop his attempt at a dunk to be surreal. During the high-scoring contest that saw a total of 359 points Sunday night in Salt Lake City, it was a rare defensive effort by either All-Star team.

To exact his vengeance, the Thunder star will have to wait a week. On March 1, the Los Angeles Lakers travel to Oklahoma City. However, he has four games before that matchup.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Markkanen’s regular teams will compete against one another on Thursday night in Salt Lake City as NBA play resumes, fresh from their entertaining and special weekend as teammates on Team Giannis.

With a 28-29 record, the Thunder begin the final stretch in 10th place in the Western Conference standings. After the regular season, the play-in round is limited to the top 10 teams in each conference, with the 7-10 seeds participating.

With a 29-31 record, Utah returns to the lineup 11th, half a game behind Oklahoma City.

In his brand-new NBA home, Markkanen had the time of his life participating in the All-Star game. The Finnish star impressed Jazz fans by scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds in 26 minutes after being elevated to the starting lineup due to a number of injuries.

Even Markkanen took the fact that he was selected last among the starters in the pregame draft positively.

In ten minutes, Gilgeous-Alexander, who was selected fifth among reserves for the All-Star Game, scored nine points, had seven assists, and pulled down two rebounds. The experience was “super fun” for him.

Gilgeous-Alexander said that his first All-Star bucket, a 3-pointer, is one of the highlights of his young NBA career, in addition to the memory of being blocked by James.

The Thunder played their final game before the break, scoring 29 points. In Oklahoma City’s 133-96 home victory over the Houston Rockets, he only saw three quarters.

The Oklahoma City and Utah matchup on Thursday will be the first of three in the next two weeks. On March 3 and 5, the teams will play a two-game series in Oklahoma.

WBB-D2: Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys (14-12) at Henderson State Reddies (12-14)

When Arkansas Tech visits Arkadelphia on Thursday, February 23, Henderson State will get ready for one last ride inside the Duke Wells Center this season. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

REDDIES REPORT
Henderson State has improved its chances of making the 2023 GAC Tournament by winning four of its last five games. HSU is 9-11 in conference play with just two games remaining in the regular season, is the seven seed and has a one-game advantage over Southwestern Oklahoma State and Ouachita Baptist. The tiebreaker is currently held by the Reddies over SWOSU and OUA. The red-and-grays would be guaranteed a spot in the postseason tournament for the fifth year in a row with either a win on Thursday or a loss to Southern Arkansas by Ouachita Baptist.

A Senior Night triumph would likewise stamp the fourth sequential year Henderson has dominated twofold digit meeting matches in a season with a full record of association games (2020 highlighted exclusively in-state GAC contest). With the exception of two years, HSU head coach Jimmy Elgas has won 10 or more league games in each of his eight seasons there.

In three of its previous four victories, Henderson has scored at least 82 points. Prior to that, HSU had not scored 82 points since the visit of Lyon College to the area on January 2.

However, prior to that, the Reddies had not defeated ATU at the Duke Wells Center since February 18, 2017. The in-state teams will meet for the 175th time on Thursday, with Henderson having won the series 91-83.

SCOUTING ARKANSAS TECH
Arkansas Tech is the only team in the last five years to have qualified for the 2023 GAC Tournament. With a victory on Thursday, the 12-8 Wonder Boys could win the conference for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign. After reaching the conference semifinals that year, ATU received an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Regional.

With Arkansas Tech just one game behind Southern Arkansas and Southeastern Oklahoma St. and the Wonder Boys having split the head-to-head series with Southeastern and beating Southern Nazarene earlier in the year, ATU holds the quality-of-win tiebreaker over SE, the league’s current four seed could still play its way into the two seed. Tech would face Southern Arkansas in the series finale, where the winner would receive the No. 1 seed, with a win on Thursday and a loss to the Savage Storm in either of their final two games. 2 seed.

Arkansas Tech’s defense is tied for third in the conference, limiting opponents to 66.4 points per game while its offense is 11th in the league, allowing just 66.8 points per game. Taelon Peter, a sophomore guard, is the Wonder Boys’ primary scoring threat, averaging 14.7 points per game, which ranks 11th in the GAC. With 1.8 steals per game, Peter also ranks third in the conference.

The Golden Suns’ offense, which scores an average of 69.9 points per game, remains one of the best in the GAC despite recent struggles.

NBA Preview: San Antonio Spurs (14-45) at Dallas Mavericks (31-29)

Both the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs have something to prove in the final quarter of the season, which begins on Thursday in Dallas when the teams return to action following the All-Star break.

The Mavericks are attempting to move up the Western Conference standings as they quickly adjust to Kyrie Irving, who was brought to Dallas to play with Luka Doncic and make the most of the remaining 22 games.

Dallas plays the first game of a six-game homestand on Thursday, and the Spurs play their seventh consecutive road game after dropping the first six games of their annual Rodeo Road Trip.

The Mavericks begin the stretch run having lost three games in a row, the most recent of which was a 118-109 defeat in Denver on February 15 that dropped them to sixth place in the Western Conference. Dallas is only two games ahead of 12th-place Portland and two games behind third-place Sacramento.

Dallas lost to Denver with 37 points scored by Doncic, 17 by Christian Wood, 11 by McKinley Wright IV, and 10 by A.J. Lawson. Dallas was without Irving and Tim Hardaway Jr. because of injuries to their lower backs.

Since the trade, Doncic and Irving have only played together twice, and they took advantage of their All-Star break to get to know each other better.

After dropping a franchise-record 14 games in a row prior to the week-long break, the Spurs needed it to regroup. Regardless of the faint, its second this extended period of something like 11 misfortunes, San Antonio is as yet not the most horrendously terrible group in the NBA; Houston holds that dubious distinction, trailing the Spurs by half a game.

On February 15, San Antonio lost to Charlotte 120-110. Malaki Branham scored 23 points to lead the Spurs. Keldon Johnson added 21, Doug McDermott scored 17 points off the bench, and Zach Collins scored 14. San Antonio had six players score in double figures.

In the final six minutes of the game, San Antonio only managed to score eight points.

Doncic scored 51 points to lead Dallas to a 126-125 victory in the Alamo City on December 31, their only meeting this season.

NBA Preview: New Orleans Pelicans (30-29) at Toronto Raptors (28-31)

Raptors hope All-Star break did not stifle momentum, host Pelicans The Toronto Raptors will play the visiting New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night with the goal of continuing where they left off during the break.

The Raptors will finish a five-game homestand on Thursday after winning two straight and five of their last six games.

After dropping two of their previous three games, including a road defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 15 (120-102), the Pelicans will be looking to rebound from their recent struggles.

On February 14, the Raptors defeated the Orlando Magic 123-113 to advance to the break. In his third game and second start with Toronto, Jakob Poeltl, who was acquired from the San Antonio Spurs before the deadline for trades, scored 30 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and blocked six shots.

Against the Pelicans, the Raptors will likely have some injured players back in the lineup.

With Gary Trent Jr. (calf strain), who has missed the past two games, and Thaddeus Young (knee strain), who left the game against the Lakers because of a sprained wrist, O.G. Anunoby is expected to return to the lineup.

The Raptors, according to their coach Nick Nurse, appeared “good, healthy, and ready to go.”

He hasn’t decided which player will start against the Pelicans yet.

The Raptors were in the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference, ranked 10th going into the break. They are four and a half games behind the sixth-place New York Knicks and two games ahead of the Chicago Bulls.

With star forward Zion Williamson out for several more weeks due to a hamstring strain, the Pelicans went into the winter break in seventh place in the Western Conference.

The Pelicans are 10-19 in their remaining 12 games played on the road.

The Pelicans traded Josh Richardson for Devonte’ Graham before the deadline.

On November 30, the Pelicans defeated the Raptors 126-108 at home.

NBA Preview: Memphis Grizzlies (35-22) at Philadelphia Sixers (38-19)

Before the All-Star break, the Philadelphia 76ers won their final four games, and on Thursday, they play the Memphis Grizzlies. They want to keep the momentum going.

All-Star Joel Embiid, who scored 32 points for Team LeBron at the All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, will continue to be the driving force behind the Sixers’ success.

With an average of 33.1 points per game, Embiid ranks second in the league, just behind Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, who scores 33.3 points per game.

Despite persistent left foot soreness that has bothered him for several weeks, Embiid decided to play Sunday. As the playoffs get closer, this will be something to focus on.

Since 2001, the Sixers have not made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. They can get there with a lot of talent, led by Embiid and James Harden.

With the exception of a 119-109 defeat to the Boston Celtics, the Grizzlies had won three of their previous four games before the All-Star break.

The All-Star Game featured two Grizzlies for the first time ever, with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. competing.

That’s also because the Grizzlies have won this season, going 35-22. They reached 35 wins before the All-Star break for the third time in franchise history.

En route, the super skilled Grizzlies have acquired a standing as an actual group which different groups have reprimanded.

It is abundantly clear that the Grizzlies are one of the league’s deepest teams and have a real chance of winning the championship. When Kevin Durant was sent to the Phoenix Suns in a huge deal and Kyrie Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, it became a much more difficult task.

The Grizzlies are confident that they will be able to present their case effectively beginning on Thursday against the Sixers.
