The Battle of LA and Beyond: Unmissable NBA Action on Disney+ Philippines
With the playoff race heating up, these upcoming games will shape the final stretch and determine who makes it to the postseason. Here's why you won't want to miss these Disney+ exclusives in the Philippines:
Revitalized Timberwolves Eyeing a Playoff Push: The Minnesota Timberwolves, fresh from consecutive Conference Finals appearances, are on a mission to climb the Western Conference ladder. With just three games separating the third to seventh seeds, every win counts. Enter Ayo Dosunmu, a steady contributor acquired from the Chicago Bulls. Dosunmu's elite scoring, including a 63.7 TS% and 44.7% from three, provides a much-needed boost to the Wolves' already top-eight offense. Catch them in action against the Dallas Mavericks on February 21st at 8:30 a.m. PHT.
Kawhi Leonard's MVP Form: The Los Angeles Clippers, once on the brink of disaster with a 6-21 start, have turned things around with a 20-7 surge. At the heart of this revival is Kawhi Leonard, who, despite injuries and age, is having one of his most complete offensive seasons. Averaging 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists with an elite 61.2 true shooting percentage, Leonard is a force to be reckoned with. Will he lead the Clippers into the West's top six ahead of their showdown with the Lakers? Find out on February 21st at 11 a.m. PHT.
Houston Rockets' Eastern Dominance: The Houston Rockets are one of the few teams ranked in the league's top six for both offensive and defensive ratings. Their success against the Eastern Conference is particularly notable, with a 14-4 record. But can they maintain this dominance against the New York Knicks? The Rockets lead the league in rebounding, but they'll need to do so without Steven Adams. Will they hold their edge on the glass? Tune in on February 22nd at 9:30 a.m. PHT.
SGA vs. Donovan Mitchell: A Pick-and-Roll Showdown: Ball screens are a foundational aspect of modern NBA offenses, and few utilize them better than Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both guards have turned the pick-and-roll into a primary weapon, dictating opposing coverages. Who will come out on top in this battle of ball handlers? Catch the action on February 23rd at 2 a.m. PHT.
Porzingis' Potential Warriors Debut: After missing out on Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Golden State Warriors acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks to address their frontcourt size. Porzingis' ability to stretch the floor and protect the rim is a perfect fit for the Warriors' perimeter-oriented offense. Will we see him in action alongside Stephen Curry? Don't miss the potential first look at Porzingis with the Warriors on February 23rd at 4:30 a.m. PHT against the Denver Nuggets.
These games promise to be thrilling, and with playoff positioning on the line, every possession counts. Who will emerge victorious? Join the conversation and share your predictions in the comments!
