Covid still does damage in the NBA.
On tonight's shift, the match between Mavericks and Pelicans was skipped, too many players infected.
It is the third match postponed since the beginning of the season, and tomorrow there will be a fourth because it is already certain that Chicago-Boston will not be played, because this latter formation does not have the minimum number of players to take the field.
On the other hand, the challenge between Philadelphia and Atlanta Hawks has not been skipped, with the latter winning 112-94, but with the Sixers still decimated by the coronavirus and therefore forced to a new stop that makes them slide from first to third place in the standings in the east , after a dazzling start to the championship.
Six more games were played tonight. Milwaukee has returned to success, to the detriment of the Orlando Magic for 121-99, thanks also to the full recovery of the Greek giant Antetokounmpo (22 points), after a back injury. Washington also did well, back to success after three losses in a row; surprisingly, Phoenix, 128-107. The Hornets also did well on their fourth consecutive success, who beat New York 109-88.
In the other games, a narrow defeat for the Raptors, 112-11, by Portland. Victory of the Kings over Indiana for 127-122 and finally Memphis blow over Cleveland 101-91.
In the standings, Boston leads in the east, the Lakers in the west.
