What seemed like a long wait was finally over. Facundo Campazzo will have NBA action again this Saturday, no less than at the start of the Playoffs when his Denver Nuggets host the Portland Trail Blazers from 11:30 p.m. (ESPN televised). There were only six days that passed since the last performance of the Cordovan in the league of the stars, but the high level with which the point guard finished the regular season, reflected in his increasingly important role with the team, helped to increase the anxiety in the followers of the number 7.
Denver comes to the event as the third seed in the Western Conference, while Portland is sixth.
LeBron James’ team finished seventh on the season so they had to go heads-up against Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors (8th) for a place in the Playoffs. That duel was played on Wednesday and ended with LeBron’s celebration, a great game, with triple double and decisive triple included. Lakers will now face the Phoenix Suns (2nd) of Chris Paul on the side of the zone that also has Denver and Portland. On the other hand, Clippers go against Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks (5th) -this Saturday from 17.30, without TV- while the team with the best record, Utah Jazz, waits for the winner of the duel between Memphis Grizzlies and the Warriors ( they were playing last night at the close of our edition).
EAST CONFERENCE. Today 3pm (ESPN) Milwaukee Bucks (3rd) vs Miami Heat (6th), 9pm (ESPN) Brooklyn Nets (2nd) vs Boston Celtics (7th). Sunday: Philadelphia 76ers (1st) vs Washington Wizards (8th), Luca Vildoza’s New York Knicks (4th) – he traveled to the United States on Thursday – vs Atlanta Hawks (5th).
THE
