The NBA is a treat with its two days of 15 matches, several of which are at stake, and last night, we experienced a new upheaval in the West. Beaten in San Antonio, the Nuggets fall from 1st to 3rd place! It is the Thunder who take the opportunity to regain 1st place, and barring any incident, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's teammates should retain this 1st place, and therefore face the winner of the second “dam-off”. But a surprise is still possible!
Indeed, the Thunder does not have its destiny in its hands. Here are the three meetings: Minnesota – Phoenix; Memphis – Denver and OKC – Dallas. As you will see in the eight possible cases, a Nuggets defeat can change a lot of things…
Case number 1: OKC, Denver and Minnesota win
OKC (1st), Minnesota (2nd) and Denver (3rd)
Case number 2: OKC and Denver win and Minnesota loses
OKC (1st), Denver (2nd) and Minnesota (3rd)
Case number 3: OKC and Minnesota win and Denver loses
Minnesota (1st), OKC (2nd) and Denver (3rd)
Case number 4: OKC wins and Denver and Minnesota lose
OKC (1st), Minnesota (2nd) and Denver (3rd)
Case number 5: OKC, Denver and Minnesota lose
OKC (1st), Minnesota (2nd) and Denver (3rd)
Case number 6: OKC loses, Denver and Minnesota win
Minnesota (1st), Denver (2nd) and OKC (3rd)
Case number 7: OKC and Minnesota lose, Denver wins
Denver (1st), Minnesota (2nd) and OKC (3rd)
Case number 8: OKC and Denver lose, Minnesota wins
Minnesota (1st), OKC (2nd) and Denver (3rd)
