The five-game card this Thursday has as a highlight the challenge between a pair of teams that are currently out of the postseason positions in the Western conference, despite having two of the main stars of the League.
The Warriors point guard, a two-time winner of the MVP of the season award, has returned this year on his own after missing virtually the entire previous season through injury.
Curry currently averages 28.2 points per game (fifth of the season), 6.2 assists and shoots for an exquisite 41 percent shooting from outside the perimeter, his specialty.
Slovenian Doncic, for his part, has a duty to shoot from long range, as he himself has recently recognized, but still his other game indicators are extraordinary.
Ratified as an undisputed star in the 2020 playoffs, the young leader of the Mavericks counts 27.2 points per start, in addition to distributing 9.6 assists (second) and capturing 8.9 rebounds.
Both players should make up without difficulties the quintet of the most voted players in the West for the All-Star Games 2021, which was canceled in its initial version of Indianapolis but recent information indicates that it could materialize in Atlanta on March 7.
In addition to the game between Mavs and Warriors, the leaders of each conference will also see action today: the Utah Jazz will host the Atlanta Hawks, while the Philadelphia Sixers will visit the Portland Trailblezers arena.
The program is completed by the Houston Rockets confrontation against the Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The NBA held another 10 games on Wednesday in which Philadelphia added its 16th success on the calendar by beating the Charlotte Hornets 118-111, while the Milwaukee Bucks continued their stalking in second place in the East after defeating the Indiana Pacers 130-110.
Dallas also got in the way of Atlanta by beating them 122-116, as did the Clippers against Cleveland 121-99, while the Boston Celtics fell 111-116 to the Sacramento Kings.
Similarly, the Washington Wizards only got their fifth win of the season by 103-100 at the expense of the Miami Heat; The New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls 107-103 and the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-87 over the Houston Rockets.
Lastly, the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Phoenix Suns 123-101 and the San Antonio Spurs did the same 111-108 with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
