IN A FEW MOMENTS WE WILL START

In a couple of moments we will start with the rebroadcast of the Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors, duel corresponding to the NBA 2023-2024 regular season.

STARTING FIVE READY

This is the Starting Five that the Lakers send to the court to face the Grizzlies Starting Five in California. 

FOUR MONTHS AND COUNTING

The most exciting season of the year, the playoffs with their series of thrilling games, will begin on April 20. Although there is still more than half of the regular season left, intriguing questions are already arising, such as whether the Nuggets will be able to break the champion's curse. Since 2019, the defending champions have not made it past the second round of the playoffs.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE ALL-STAR IN 2024?

After last year's disappointment, characterized by audiences at historically low levels, significant changes are anticipated for the All-Star Game, which will be held in 2024 in Indianapolis. Moving away from the recent format of captains picking their teams' players, which appears to have backfired, a return to the classic East-West showdown is expected. In addition, the NBA will impose the active participation of the stars in the competition, seeking to revitalize the appeal of the event.

THE LONG-AWAITED FEBRUARY 8

February 8 marks the deadline for trades in the NBA, known as the trade deadline. This day is of great importance for teams, as it is the last chance to make trades and strengthen their squads heading into the final phase of the season. In addition, in recent years, the trade deadline has become especially attractive to fans due to the numerous stars who have changed teams on this date.

THE NBA IS BACK IN EUROPE

The first highlight of the year is less than two weeks away when the Brooklyn Nets take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Paris, the fourth game of the NBA regular season to be played in France. Mikal Bridges, the "Ironman" who has never missed a game in his six seasons in the American league, will be the main attraction for the New York team, while Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will be the main attractions for the Cavaliers.

IT TOOK THEM A WHILE TO WIN

The Detroit Pistons ended their impressive 28-game losing streak, the worst in NBA history, on Saturday with a 129-127 victory over the Toronto Raptors. In front of their home fans in Detroit, the Pistons played another thrilling game that, this time, had a happy ending.

THE WAIT IS OVER

The wait for the NBA is over, the best basketball league in the world is back, with the best players, the best baskets, the best plays, the best controversies and the best teams in the world's elite leagues.

 LeBron James was selected as the first pick of the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since then, he has played for several NBA teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James is known for his versatility and ability to make an impact in all areas of the game. He can score, assist and rebound at an exceptional level.

A season of Oblivion

The NBA West, to be more specific, in the lower half of the standings is suffering a lot due to the lack of victories and the abundance of defeats so far this season. At least, that's the situation of the Grizzlies who, in their record of games, the losses already double the number of wins, aggravating the situation even more. However, there may be a little hope for this game since, when they have played away they have not done so badly, at least they have 8 wins, contrary to when they play at home, where they only have 2 wins. 

They have not found their best version

The Lakers are still struggling to find their best version for this season, they had started off well in fact and when they managed to lift the NBA-In Season Tournament champions trophy, it seemed that the Lakers were going to come out on top as they had presented a great individual and collective level up to that point. However, it seems that the championship only brought an era in which the team from Los Angeles continues to be weakened and without taking firm steps on the road because the streak of consecutive defeats that came after touching the glory greatly affected the morale of the team. Now, being positioned in the middle of the NBA's West standings, the Lakers will have to look for victories to gradually climb positions and return to the top of the table. 

The best emotions of basketball

The NBA courts are once again lit up with the best basketball in the world, the elite players of this sport return to dispute every ball with the greatest of intensity with the goal of adding victories and at the end of the campaign, reach the playoffs to position themselves in the fight to lift the coveted trophy. Likewise, with the In-Season Tournament tournament over, the teams must now concentrate on having a great performance for the remainder of the campaign if they want to become champions of the sport.

Kick-off time

The Lakers vs Grizzlies match will be played at Crypto Arena, in Los Angeles, USA. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 pm ET.
