Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks 

When the Atlanta Hawks play the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, Quin Snyder will make his managerial debut. Nate McMillan, who was let go during the All-Star break, is replaced by Snyder. The Hawks won two straight games under interim coach Joe Prunty, including a thrilling 129-127 victory over Brooklyn on Sunday. The eight years Snyder spent on the bench in Utah from 2014 to 22 are what made him most famous. He recently signed a five-year contract with Atlanta. He led the Jazz to the postseason in six consecutive campaigns, and the team's 52-20 record in the 2020–21 season was the best in the NBA. 

Quin had every quality we were looking for in our head coach from the very beginning, according to Atlanta general manager Landry Fields. "We share core values and basketball philosophies of having honest communication and collaboration with players, incredible attention to detail, and placing a great emphasis on player development," I said. "He has both an incredible basketball and emotional IQ." 

How well Snyder gets along with Atlanta's Trae Young, who frequently argued with McMillan, may be the deciding factor. Young is one of the league's most dynamic offensive players, averaging 27.0 points and 10.2 assists despite his defensive shortcomings. On Sunday, he made the game-winning basket with seconds left to defeat the Nets. Atlanta's future, according to Dejounte Murray, depends on the players. He declared, "We have no control over what the front office does. We'll keep working and try to accumulate as many victories as we can. 

Since the All-Star Game, the Wizards have suffered two straight losses. Washington just suffered a 102-82 defeat at the hands of Chicago. Both Kristaps Porzingis (left knee discomfort) and Monte Morris (late scratch; lower back discomfort) were absent from the Wizards' lineup. "We have to do a better job of screening guys up," Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. "Those (16) turnovers were costly. Those are empty possessions for us and lead to some transition opportunities for them. We have to do a better job of that, fighting force with force." 

Delon Wright, a guard for the Washington Wizards, said, "We just have to regroup and bring more effort and more focus." Bradley Beal, who averages 22.7 points and 5.3 assists for the Wizards, is their star player. His field goal percentage of 51.5 percent is a career high. Beal has faced Atlanta 30 times in his career, scoring 21.3 points, grabbing 4.2 rebounds, and dishing out 3.9 assists. This will be the first of four meetings between the Eastern Conference rivals over the next six weeks due to an odd scheduling arrangement. The Hawks won the series 3-1 the previous year, making it a back-to-back victory. Washington hasn't won in Atlanta since December 5, 2018, where the Hawk has won the last six meetings. 

Both teams have a long way to go before they can finish in the top six in the Eastern Conference, even though they are currently in the play-in round of the playoffs. Eighth-ranked Atlanta was 2 1/2 games back of sixth-place New York as of Monday. The Wizards are 2 1/2 games behind Atlanta and only have a half-game lead over Chicago, who is ranked No. 10.

Good luck!

Both the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks overcame a slow start to enter the All-Star break in the thick of the playoff race. The Wizards bounced back to enter the race for one of the four play-in spots, while the Knicks recovered sufficiently to move into the top six of the Eastern Conference. When the Knicks visit the Wizards on Friday night, both teams will continue their push for the playoffs. New York had 33 victories through its first 60 games entering the break. The Knicks have gone 23-14 since December 3 and entered the break in sixth place, one game ahead of the Miami Heat. 

Jalen Brunson, a guard for New York, told reporters, "We're excited to kind of get down (to) this last stretch of games. New York entered the break with three straight victories over the Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets, and Atlanta Hawks by scoring at least 120 points in each game. "I think we just gotta get back to being focused. We had a great break. Everyone looks rested." The Knicks scored 120 points in three straight games for the second time this season. Brunson, who has been scoring 31.9 points per game over his last seven games, was a big part of New York's strong final stretch before the break. In New York's final game before the break, a 122-101 victory at Atlanta on February 15, Brunson scored 28 points. 

In its fourth game since acquiring Josh Hart via a trade with Portland at the deadline, New York will take the field. In his first three games with the Knicks, Hart has 51 points and 9 of 14 three-pointers made. The starting center Mitchell Robinson, who has missed 14 games due to a right thumb injury that required surgery, might also return for the Knicks. Robinson has resumed full contact practice after suffering an injury in the opening frame of a defeat to Washington on January 18. 

The Wizards' early struggles were more prolonged than those of the Knicks, but they are currently attempting to pull themselves out of a play-in race. Between November 30 and December, the Wizards lost 10 games. 18 to drop to 11-20, but they have since improved to 17-10. Washington is 10-4 since its victory in New York on January 18, moving up from 12th to ninth in the process. Coach Wes Unseld Jr. is eager to see if his team can nudge into the top six with 14 home games left. 

We've discussed (gaining ground), and it's definitely doable, Unseld said. The Wizards pulled off an impressive comeback heading into the break. "We have a home-heavy schedule coming out of the break. It's a great opportunity. Very easily could be in a different situation. Four-, five-game swing, you're in sixth. So, it's certainly feasible." They defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 16 by a score of 114-106 after coming back from a 20-point deficit and scoring 38 points in the final frame. For the third time in four games, Bradley Beal scored at least 30 points, scoring 13 of his season-high 35 points in the final four or more minutes. Beal, who has missed 22 games so far this season, has missed just two games in his last five, scoring 27.2 points on average. 

Time is running out for the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers to work on playoff positioning as they begin their post-All-Star break schedules with a meeting Thursday in Los Angeles. To move up from play-in tournament eligibility to a top-six spot in the Western Conference and an automatic spot in the first round, the Warriors, the defending champions, will need to commit on the defensive end. The Lakers' sole objective is to achieve postseason eligibility, whether that means earning play-in or better status. The Lakers' season has been far from what they expected, sitting 13th in the 15-team Western Conference, but they are only two games away from a play-in spot. 

The Warriors entered the All-Star break having lost three of their previous four games without injured star Stephen Curry, including a road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on February 14 that exposed their defensive flaws by a score of 134-124. Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Warriors, remarked, "We were the No. 2 defense in the league a year ago. Curry's return from a left leg injury is at least two weeks away, but this week he returned to the practice court for non-contact work, saying, "I think we have it in us and hopefully we can get healthy." For his perimeter defense, new addition Gary Payton II was chosen, but his hip injury will keep him sidelined for at least a month. 

Draymond Green, a seasoned player for Golden State, takes full responsibility for the defense effort made by his team. Green remarked, "Our defense isn't very good. The Lakers will move forward with a new look. "It's kind of been the story all year and you have to do something to fix it. It has to come from within. Defense is all about a will — a want to defend. Defense isn't fun. You just have to want to do it if you want to win and we haven't." After being traded, Russell Westbrook's divisive time with the team came to an end. By bringing in Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Mo Bamba, Los Angeles' roster became more rounded. 

On the court, LeBron James and Anthony Davis will continue to take the initiative, and they will also be primarily responsible for making the most of the new roster. James averages 30.0 points, 8.4 assists, and 7.0 rebounds per game. Davis has a 26.0 point average and 12.3 rebounds. James' right hand bruise prevented him from participating in the second half of the All-Star game, but the injury is not thought to be serious. The expectations James has for the remaining six to eight weeks of the regular season are much more serious.

Coverge FiberXers vs Blackwater Bossing

Despite a setback the previous time out, Converge is still right there in the lead pack and is ready to pick itself up and keep fighting for a place in the Top Four. The FiberXers are expected to quickly get back on track against the slumping Blackwater Bossing in their Thursday setto in the PBA Governors' Cup at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig. In a fierce shootout against the Road Warriors that they narrowly lost at the end, Maverick Ahanmisi poured in four three-pointers and a total of 22 points while Jamaal Franklin bombed away nine three-pointers to highlight a 53-point rout. 

Coach Aldin Ayo couldn't have asked for more from the FiberXers, who just fell short of their goal due to early fouls on several players. More importantly, they're right in the mix, within striking distance of the league-leading TNT Tropang Giga (8-1) and the San Miguel Beermen (7-2) with their 5-2 record. However, Franklin and his teammates must recover quickly from that loss and be more consistent in their final four games if they are to finish in the Top Four and earn a twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinals. 

The Bossing, the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters, the Meralco Bolts, and the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings are their final four assignments. At 1-7, The Bossing are currently practically fighting for their lives. Three nights pass between their games against Converge (Thursday) and NorthPort (Saturday) and their final elimination game against the Magnolia Hotshots on March 8. Then, a slew of a slew of a slew of a slew of a slew of a slew of a slew of a slew Even with the arrival of import Troy Williams in place of Shawn Glover, they have yet to break out of their slump.

Rain or Shine Elasto Painters vs Magnolia Hotshots 

At 5:45 p.m., the Hotshots and Elasto Painters square off in an effort for the Hotshots to win their fourth straight game and move up to sixth place in the standings with a record of 4-3. Following a comeback with their import replacements, both are chasing down the early tournament leaders. The Hotshots have made a significant comeback from starting 0-3, going 3-0 with Antonio Hester. The Elasto Painters also took inspiration from recent import Greg Smith; they triumphed in their most recent match, which they won despite having an all-Filipino crew. Smith will return for this intriguing match with Hester and the Hotshots after receiving approval from his former club in the Dominican Republic. 

The Elasto Painters' thrilling 120–118 victory over Terrafirma Dyip without Smith has undoubtedly given them a huge morale boost. The Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao said, "The guys stepped up. Alam namin dehado kami so this was really a good experience in terms of developing them mentally and making them learn to cope with adverse situations. Chito Victolero, the coach at Magnolia, prepares for conflict. We must grind it out on both ends of the floor because it will be a physically demanding game, according to Victolero. We're playing well and pareho kaming naghahabol sa standings so we have to prepare hard for this game, said Victolero. "They (ROS) have a very good import. Actually, nanalo nga yan nang walang import, may import pa kaya? 

Victolero and his team are eager to get started in the hopes of placing in the Top 4 at the conclusion of the single-round robin eliminations. The immediate objective is to overtake Meralco (3-3) and Barangay Ginebra and move ahead of them in the standings (4-2). The E-Painters, on the other hand, are just inside the Top 8, half a game in front of the Terrafirma Dyip and Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters (2-5) (2-5). With the assistance of Smith, who replaced Michael Qualls as coach, the Elasto Painters defeated the Blackwater Bossing by a score of 122-117 before defeating the Dyip by a score of 120-118 thanks to Santi Santillan's valiant efforts.

Terrafirma Dyip vs Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters

When the Dyip and Fuel Masters square off on Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, they both intend to widen that opening in an unflinching manner. A victory for either 2-3 Terrafirma or 1-5 Phoenix would maintain their chances of advancing past the 11-game elimination round and being included in the bracket of eight teams that will face off in the playoffs. Given the stakes, anticipate a no-questions-asked, no-given type of contest. Had Terrafirma recovered from a 109-131 loss to powerhouse TNT last Saturday and defeated import-less Rain or Shine just last Thursday, it would not have been in such a pickle. 

However, the Dyip played more sluggishly in the early goings and, despite catching up in the final stretch, were unable to stop the Elasto Painters from winning 120–118. When Rain or Shine played an all-Filipino lineup, Terrafirma coach Johnedel Cardel later acknowledged that his team was unable to match the aggressiveness of Rain or Shine. He claimed that "Siyempre they (the E-Painters) came out aggressive at hindi namin na-match iyon." His Dyip must now pick up the pieces and prepare for Phoenix's anticipated tough stance. Cardel said, "Nagtatalo rin iyan kaya hindi bibigay sa amin iyan." 

Phoenix's sense of urgency has also increased as a result of its own two-game losing streak, but the Suns do have the advantage of having had a little more time to recover after last Friday's 95-108 loss to Magnolia. The Fuel Masters' chances rely not only on an offense led by Jason Perkins and Tyler Tio, but also on Du'vaughnn Maxwell's performance this time. Jordan Williams of Terrafirma, who finished with 30 points and 16 rebounds in the Rain or Shine game but took some time to find his rhythm, should put Maxwell's defense to the test. Maxwell only managed 11 points and 10 rebounds while committing seven turnovers against the Hotshots.

When the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night, two teams on opposite hot streaks on the eve of the All-Star break finish their unofficial first halves of the season. The contest pits the Bulls, who need a turnaround for the remainder of the season, against the Bucks, who are hoping an eight-day break won't slow their pursuit of the Boston Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference. The Bucks enter the contest with an 11-game winning streak, a season high, that includes victories over the top East (Boston) and West teams (the Denver Nuggets). Tuesday night's 131-125 victory over the Celtics came after overtime. 

With two of Milwaukee's 17 losses coming at the hands of the Bulls, the Bucks' lead over the Celtics has shrunk to just one game as a result of the victory. DeMar DeRozan, an All-Star, scored 36 points in Chicago's 118-113 victory at Milwaukee on November 23 before outscoring the Bucks by himself in overtime of a 119-113 victory at home on December 28. DeRozan scored 42 points in total for the game. Both victories failed to spark a Bulls comeback; after winning in November and December, respectively, they lost four of their next five games. Since last facing Milwaukee, Chicago has three times put together three-game winning streaks, but those runs were followed by three, two, and five straight losses. 

They bring that most recent five-game losing streak into the Thursday game. Prior to losing at home to the Orlando Magic on Monday by a score of 100-91 and the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday in Indianapolis by a score of 117-113, Chicago had lost three straight on the road. DeRozan missed the first game of the back-to-back against the Pacers because of a strained right quadriceps. Zach LaVine scored 35 points in that contest. DeRozan was still hopeful of being fit enough to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday even though he had not yet been declared ineligible for the Milwaukee game. It was particularly disappointing to lose on Wednesday because the first quarter saw the Bulls play some of their best basketball of the year, building a 39-15 lead. 

Billy Donovan, head coach of the Bulls, said of his team's inability to maintain leads, "This has been something that we have to be able to overcome." The Bucks' two All-Stars, Jrue Holiday (40 points) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (36) stole the show in the Tuesday victory over the Celtics, combining for 13 of the team's 15 overtime points. "It's skill. It's poise. It's composure. It's experience. It's decision-making. It's all those things. It's not one thing." Just three substitutes scored for Milwaukee, which is still waiting for Jae Crowder to make his season debut after being acquired from the Nets at the trade deadline after the Phoenix Suns had sent him to Brooklyn in exchange for Kevin Durant.

PBA Governor's Cup 2023

NLEX Road Warriors vs Magnolia Hotshots

When the Hotshots and the NLEX Road Warriors square off in the PBA Governors' Cup on Thursday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, it could be an explosive matchup as Hester tries to maintain his perfect run with Magnolia and Selden tries to recover from a disastrous PBA debut. The locals are also anticipated to contribute, as the opposing teams hope to be in a better position halfway through their elimination campaigns. The Road Warriors is 4-1 and haven't lost since an endgame collapse on Selden's league debut against the Barangay Ginebra Kings on February 8. The Hotshots are 2-3 and have won their first two games with Hester.

Hester, a PBA veteran who is replacing Eric McCree, expressed his happiness to be of assistance to the Hotshots and pledged to do his part to help the team advance to the postseason. While Jonathon Simmons, the team's original import, has since returned to his team in the Chinese Basketball League, Selden is focusing on an immediate goal of helping the Road Warriors get back on track following that embarrassing 114-111 loss to Ginebra. It was the team's first defeat following a four-game winning streak with Simmons.

Selden said shortly after his unsuccessful PBA debut, "I got a responsibility to the team, to the staff, to the coaches to be as good as I can be. Be a leader. Got a little tired down the stretch (against Ginebra), but it is no excuse. The next game, I'll have more energy, for sure. The NBA veteran actually had a strong performance, scoring 43 points while adding seven rebounds, seven assists, and three steals that the Gin Kings used to steal the game with a 13-3 run.

Selden said, "We just had to make stops down the stretch because we missed opportunities to get stops. Selden and his teammates, however, are up against an inspired squad in their attempt to rebound from this loss. "Gave up a couple threes. We got to be better to close the game. We got to be able to finish the game. We ran out of gas. We'll be better next game," Selden said. After two straight victories, the most recent one coming against Clasico rivals Ginebra Kings, Hester and the Hotshots are in a good mood. With a nearly wire-to-wire dominance highlighted by Hester's 28-18-9 point-rebound-assist total and strong performances from Mark Barroca, Calvin Abueva, and Paul Lee, Magnolia punctured the Ginebra bubble. 

PBA Governor's Cup 2023

NorthPort Batang Pier vs San Miguel BeerMen

San Miguel Beer plays NorthPort in the PBA Governors' Cup on Wednesday at the MOA Arena in Pasay City, hoping to bounce back quickly from a defeat on Saturday. The Beermen are determined to get back on track as soon as possible as they prepare for a challenging matchup with titleholder Barangay Ginebra on Friday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The Beermen are still stinging from their 107-103 loss to the Converge FiberXers. The main objective is to maintain the lead in the competition for the Top Four teams, who will benefit from a twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinals. 

Coach Jorge Gallent of San Miguel said after the defeat that brought them to a tie with the FiberXers and the TNT Tropang Giga at 5-1, "We have to bounce back, yan ang pinaka-importante." Ginebra is currently 3-1. Gallent said, "We're still tied for No. 1. We have to move up again. We have to learn from our mistakes against Converge. We must improve our defense as a result of the numerous fouls we committed and the 21 free throws we allowed in the fourth quarter, according to Gallent. Up until that defeat to Converge, when their star player June Mar Fajardo was forced to leave the game early due to fouls, the Beermen were undefeated under their new bench boss. 

The NorthPort team is winless in its last five games under new coach Boni Tan, and Fajardo and his teammates are determined to halt the slide. Despite 30 points from Robert Bolick, who returned from injury, and 38 points from new import Kevin Murphy, the Batang Pier's woes persisted as the Gin Kings defeated them 115-100 on Friday. Murphy and company made a strong start, but they were unable to keep up as the Kings unleashed a second-half 36-point avalanche and continued to dominate in the second half.
