Warriors and Sixers, for the lead; Lakers and Clipper hit each other
Many things can still change throughout the season to be able to set probabilities in the fight for the ring, but of course reliable approximations can be made and regarding them Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid feel prepared to challenge the two monsters from the West and the East, such as Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggest and Jayson Tatum’s Boston Celtics.
After the victory against the Detroit Pistons (109-120) and after having won six of their eight games so far in the regular season, the Golden State Warriors seem like a reliable team, one of those who will be fighting until the end for great things and what There is a better way to measure that reliability than to try to beat the champion, those from Colorado, at home and in a duel (Ball Arena, Thursday, 4:00, Spanish time) that is also a train wreck at the top of the table.
And equally exciting is the clash between first and second in the East that morning from Wednesday to Thursday, or what is the same, a Philadelphia 76ers against the Boston Celtics (1:00, Spanish time) for the leadership on that side of the North American pond. . In the game, the best player in the league (MVP), Joel Embiid, who has just scored 48 points against the Washington Wizards, challenges the best team in the NBA, all with the Wells Fargo Arena as the stage.
Los Angeles doesn’t work

Both cases are worrying: some, those in purple and gold because they repeat mistakes from last season having a very similar block, and the others because they still have a long way to go to make the quartet of death formed by La Barba, Kawhi Leonard come together , Paul George and Russell Westbrook.
