Bad news comes from Bucks, Khris Middleton will be absent for 3 to 4 weeks after suffering an injury to his left thigh (bruised wound). but the good news is that there are no serious internal injuries to the legs. in my opinion, the role of Pat Counnaghton and Sterling Brown would be needed by Bucks during Khris's absence
It should be good for him to take that rest for those weeks and let his team face those matches without him rather than add more pain to the injury that he has.

As long as Giannis is alright, Bucks will remain as one of the best team in the East.
Injuries can't be avoided but let's just hope they will not be injured seriously if they will suffer because it would also affect the excitement of the fans on the team. Anyway, I think they'll be able to keep winning even without Middleton as they already build a winning system.

yeah right, Giannis is a great player. whoever plays with him doesn't seem to matter to him and he can handle it. by the way, I also support Giannis to become the MVP again this season besides AD (if he can play a full season without injury)

Injury updates though.
Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.
Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL.

It's just a sprain and a thumb fracture, it aint that bad.
They will be back soon.

Are you forgetting the Golden State Warriors in your count? If we are talking about the balance changes or how teams are equally performing well then you are wrong since the Warriors are looking like a lottery team with just two wins in almost a month after the season has started. Even with Steph Curry still playing together with DLo and Draymond they still manage to lose against the Suns and the Williamson-less Pelicans. I don't know but I think they are really tanking this season in the hopes that they could bring a big rookie back in San Francisco just in time when Klay and maybe some key pieces they will get from the DLo trade they will have for the next season.

That is what I am looking forward to?
Since DLo cannot carry a win then maybe the GSW management is not thinking to really trade him.
Just a month ago there have news or rather rumors that DLo wont be traded.
But with this kind of scene, maybe he will be.
I expect a better trade since that will be a lot of money at stake.
December 15, if I am not mistaken. It is near.

This is really bad news as Middleton is part of their core team behind Giannis, but to off-set this Counnaghton and Brown needs to step up the plate to cover for him. Similar to what Chris Boucher is doing for Toronto.

Yes, I would agree that Celtics is doing great after Irving departed. Kemba Walker's taking over is a blessing for them. Offence is really smooth with Walker at front.

Resting now is always a good thing to do as it's still early from the regular season and the team still in a good position there's no need to rush him back, he got players that can back him up and still continue to compete with other good teams around. He can take all the time he needs to recover back much stronger. Milwaukee with Gianni's will keep the team still contender for the East.

3. Celtics became even better after Kyrie left ( which I expected ). The last time they faced the Cavs in the ECF without kyrie was a pretty good line up and rotation. So, that was like the sign for the Celtics that they dont need Kyrie anymore.

This is true, they have proven that this season so far.

10 MOST STUNNING EARLY TRENDS AROUND THE NBA

We’re now a few weeks into the NBA season and have noticed some major trends around the Association thus far.

https://sportsnaut.com/2019/11/10-most-stunning-early-trends-around-the-nba/

NBA trends that got me interested
1. Luka averaging almost a triple double so far this season (the best rookie since Lebron, now on his 2nd year and is doing better than Lebron in his 2nd year.)
2. Raptors keeping up the good work after Leonard left (enough to let the Raptors fans know it wasn't just about Leonard)
3. Celtics became even better after Kyrie left ( which I expected ). The last time they faced the Cavs in the ECF without kyrie was a pretty good line up and rotation. So, that was like the sign for the Celtics that they dont need Kyrie anymore.
4 Ingram is a legit future superstar.

Phoenix Suns will face Los Angeles Lakers tonight, both teams have a great begin of season, Suns with 6 wins in 9 games will be a great contunder for the Lakers who lost the last game after a 7 wins arrow, well I think Lakers will search the win tonight and I'm sur that they can do it, I will bet for LA Lakers to win this game.
Still close in the half time, Suns rotating the ball very well making good contributions from every players, this young team already build good chemistry and they use it to compete. While in the other side, Lakers is also doing the same, each players inside the court are also making its own contributions
this is a good game to watch and I'm also backing the lakers to win this game.
This is always a high scoring game and we can tell that they are both doing competing with their good shooting.
Lakers taking the lead now but this is still a close game and either team could win in the end.

Proper distribution of points for both teams are happening here, as 5 players on both teams already scored a double digit.

Good for the suns as they are shooting in the 3 point line very well, they are shooting 50% thus far.

We are seeing a good game now between the Lakers and the Suns,.. Grin

I'm really surprise on their journey in this season lately, they are always competing whether they play on the road or at home.
Good luck to them, hopefully they'll be able to give the fans some kind of happiness by winning the game against the Lakers.

Saric, Rubio, and Booker, they are the most consistent in the team IMO.

Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL.

Reports say that Lowry will missed two weeks, but Ibaka case is different, as he needed crunches just to be able to walk. Good thing is that Chris Boucher is really stepping up, a former Warrior and G-league MVP, he is filling the role perfectly.

Pascal defense is still underrated, but look at how him and the rest of the team put a good defense and lock up Kawhi, he got 9 turn over, his most if I'm not mistaken.

That's bad for the Raptors, surely there will be an impact on this report to their incoming games.
However, the team should be thankful that the injury was not serious enough that would require them to miss like months.

I am not actually aware of this injury so I made a research on Ibaka's status and I confirm that he got injury.

I'm a Lakers fan and surely I hope they do win for today's match with Phoenix Sun but this team also in the top team of the west, you can't ignored their good skills plus too many shooter on their side. Though we knew how persistent is James, I hope some players step up too like Kuzma and Green which on their last game not really score much. Even in our sport's betting in our local, Suns have an odds spread of +4.5 but still my bet is on Lakers, Im sure most of people will bet also on them provided their team is really powerhouse.

Lakers will play without Anthony Davis and can be considered as an advantage of these underrated team Suns. We know Phoenix Suns have that "kicks" inside and they already show their power to the most dominant teams like Clippers and Sixers.

But on the Lakers side, we know James' capability even the main lineup is incomplete. Lakers still have that strong lineup even Davis was out. Let's see how Phoenix Suns will handle James and the Lakers in front of their home crowd.
