GOY for the Suns, no doubt. Still, it's hard to lay points betting them, when they play the better team.

If Suns win it, I will be on Memphis against Dallas that won't have anything to play for and like Dirk said, he feels that playoff started early this season and I think that Dallas just wants to rest in the final game...

 

[divol]

If Lakers lose, they will move to the 4th place from the bottom, if they win they will be 6th. If I'm the Lakers, I will lose this one, no matter what...

 

[nbafan88]

The lakers are playing a b2b in high altitude. Not good. Plus they should want to lose like divol said. Utah will be a play. Just not sure how I want to attack it.

 

[wizardofodd]

memphis ML and points no? Tougher team, experienced team. Knock suns out themselves tonight.
LMFAO at the fact that Memphis/Phoenix would be 3rd/4th seed in the east.

 

[Inspekdah]

Let's be on top of the rest and injuries boys.

thunder were going to be a play but now taking a hard look at pelicans on fan night. No Westbrook and no Jackson. A ton of fisher who can't take them off the dribble and limited minutes I am sure from the rest.

If Hawks rest their guys the cats playing for the 6 seed will not let up either. Cats could dominate.

The bulls looked like a team tanking last night to draw Indiana in the 2nd round.

heat if they rest the big 3 are an auto play. They will beat the wizards SU if that is the case.

 

[Inspekdah]

Ainge is no idiot. Little incentive to pound the sixers here. Philly should win SU.

 

[Inspekdah]

Rockets with plenty to play for SAS none. Already can't compete with Houston at full strength. Bad matchup.

 

[Inspekdah]

Millsap korver Carroll out

In all likelihood, Goran Dragic’s left ankle won’t be close to 100 percent anytime soon. Without proper rest, every time he steps out onto the court he’s essentially risking further injury.

 

[nbafan88]

The suns should shut him down if they make the playoffs IMO

 

[SIGO]

What's your take on the Grizz-Suns game tonight, tuck? You seem to follow the Suns very closely.

 

[braves]

If Lakers lose, they will move to the 4th place from the bottom, if they win they will be 6th. If I'm the Lakers, I will lose this one, no matter what...

I heard tied for 4th with Utah and it could be 3 way if Boston loses

Kemba Walker (groin injury) is expected to play vs. the Hawks on Monday.

Walker made it through shootaround without any setbacks so it seems like he's ready to start after missing the past two games.

Chandler Parsons (hip, wrist) participated in Monday's shootaround and said he'll "give it a go" despite still being sore.

All signs point to Parsons being availabile vs. the Spurs, and the Rockets have plenty of incentive to deploy him since they're just half a game ahead of the fifth-seed Blazers.


Updating previous reports, LeBron James and Chris Bosh are both likely to be rested for Monday's game vs. the Wizards.

This comes as no surprise given Miami's dwindling odds of earning the East's top seed, and the need to keep LBJ and Bosh in prime condition for a long playoff march. At the moment it seems as though Mario Chalmers and Dwyane Wade will both be active, leaving a starting lineup of Chalmers, Wade, Michael Beasley, Shane Battier and Udonis Haslem.

East Nos. 1-2: Heat, Pacers
With the Indiana Pacers' win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, a monster win over a great team, the Pacers have moved their magic number to one over Miami for the No. 1 seed in the East and homecourt advantage throughout the East playoffs.
Why Indiana has tiebreaker: Miami and Indiana finished 2-2 head-to-head this season after Miami's win Friday. But the Pacers' secured tiebreaker by conference record with the Heat's loss to Atlanta Saturday, 37-14 to 34-16. (Miami can only finish with 36 conference wins if they win out.)
Remaining scenarios:
If Indiana defeats Orlando Wednesday, the Pacers clinch the No. 1 seed.
If Indiana loses to Orlando Wednesday, and the Heat defeat Washington Monday and the Sixers Wednesday, Miami clinches the No.1 seed.
If Indiana loses to Orlando, and Miami loses to either Washington, Philadelphia, or both, the Pacers clinch the No. 1 seed.
The only way Miami gets home court throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs is if Indiana loses to Orlando and Miami wins out.
Relevant games Monday: Miami takes on Washington in a must-win for their hopes at the No. 1 seed. Washington's in a more desperate situation, trying to avoid falling back into the seventh spot and risk having to face Miami in the first round.
A Miami loss and that's it. Pacers No. 1, Heat No.2.
East Nos. 3-5: Raptors, Bulls, and Nets (No action Saturday)
Flip flop fantasia, the Raptors are back in front of the Bulls. The Raptors beat the Pistons and the Bulls lost to the Knicks.
Did Chicago toss that one so that they could get the four-seed and potentially face Indiana in the second round? It doesn't seem likely, but these are the kinds of weird late-season losses that make you wonder. New York had nothing left to play for and put the boots to the Bulls.
Either way it moves Toronto's magic number for the three-seed to two.
The Nets won Sunday over the Magic. They've clinched no-worse-than-sixth. Their magic number for the fifth seed is one.
Relevant games Monday: Chicago plays Orlando Monday. They should win that one, but they should have won the game Sunday. Toronto has a back to back in Milwaukee.
A Raps win and Bulls loss and the Raps clich the No.3, Bulls No. 4 .
A Wizards loss and the Nets clinch the No. 5.
East Nos. 6-7: Wizards, Bobcats (No action Sunday)
Both teams won Saturday against terrible teams.
If Washington goes 2-0, the Wizards get sixth.
If Washington goes 1-1, the Bobcats must go 2-0 for sixth.
If the Wizards go 0-2, the Cats must go 1-1 for sixth.
If the Cats go 0-2, the Bobcats clinch the seventh seed.
The Bobcats can't finish higher than sixth after the Nets' win Sunday.
Relevant games Monday: The Wizards get the Heat, who should be in great moods after losing to the Hawks, possibly costing themselves the No.1 seed.
Charlotte faces Atlanta who has nothing left to play for; they can't advance past 8th.
East Nos. 8-9: Hawks, Knicks (No action Sunday)
It's over. The Knicks are eliminated. The Hawks have clinched the eighth seed.
The Hawks finished 2-2 against both Indiana and Miami in the regular season.
The Hawks cannot finish higher than the 8th seed.
West Nos. 1-2: Spurs, Thunder, Clippers
The Spurs win over Phoenix on Friday clinched home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Thunder's loss to the Pacers Sunday made this interesting. The Clipper still have a very real shot at the 2-seed.
If OKC goes 0-, the Clippers can clinch the two-seed by going 2-0.
If OKC goes 1-1 or 2-0, they clinch the No.2 seed.
Relevant games Monday: The Thunder take on the Pelicans who are missing their five best players. They have absolutely nothing to play for and need to lose every game.
So...
West Nos. 4-6: Rockets, Blazers
Portland got a monster win Sunday by beating the Warriors. The win clinched no-worse than fifth for Portland tied them in the win column with the Rockets.
Relevant games Sunday: Golden State plays Portland. A Portland win clinches no worse than fifth and a matchup with the Rockets for the Blazers.
The loss was just as big for the Warriors. They can't move up and take the fifth now, and they're in a dogfight for not just the sixth, but the seventh spot.
If Houston wins one of their final two games, or if Portland loses their final game, Houston clinches the fourth seed.
If Houston loses its final two games and Portland defeats the Clippers Wednesday, Portland gets homecourt advantage in the first round.
West Nos. 8-9: Warriors, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Suns
Memphis beat the Lakers because the Lakers are awful, so their magic number is down to one. What's crazy is that they control their destiny for the seventh seed and can finish as high as sixth.
If the Warriors finish with a win in either of their two games, they clinch the sixth seed.
If the Warriors go 0-2 and the Mavericks defeat the Grizzlies Wednesday, the Mavericks finish sixth, Warriors seventh.
If the Warriors go 0-2 and the Grizzlies go 2-0, the Grizzlies finish sixth, the Warriors seventh, the Mavericks 8th.
If the Warriors go 0-2 and the Grizzlies beat the Mavericks but lose to the Suns, the Warriors finish sixth, Grizzlies seventh, and Mavericks 8th.
Relevant games Monday: The Warriors play the Timberwolves. Golden State's been struggling lately. It's a back to back against a pretty good team. Huge game for them to get back on track.
Phoenix and Memphis face off in the desert, with a playoff berth on the line. Memphis can still win a playoff spot Wednesday if they lose Monday. For the Suns, however, this is their entire season. It comes down to this game. It's an actual, literal, must-win.

expect charlotte to come out strong in the first half and score - over 49 .. large play...

Dragic is playing tonight

 

[tuck321]

Currently no play. Can make good arguments for both sides. Some bias here by me but if Dragic plays well or has another horror has a lot to do with the result.

 

[nbafan88]

I dont know why the heat are resting their players... its not completely insane to think indy could lose @ orlando is it?

just goes to show how much the heat care about being the #1 seed, they dont

they just might win anyway….they r so schizophrenic

i doubt he ever thought for a second he was sitting out….its their whole season….they will shoot him up and deal with whatever in the offseason….these guys are young and they heal quickly

totally agree

 

[BJPLAYER]

the nba is so hard….this site has the best of the best imo and so hard to pick the right side…..can u tell i am losing:confused2:

 

[Inspekdah]

Going to just cap based on what each team's deep down intention is...

Rondo is in but it shouldn't matter. C's don't want this game

Philly +3

 

[Inspekdah]

I made a mistake and bet the Bulls last night when they 100% want Indiana in the 2nd round.

4 or 5 is preferred vs. 3

 

[wizardofodd]

Took Rockets ML+Memphis+4 in a parlay

 

[Inspekdah]

I do not see how the Bobcats do not destroy Atlanta without Millsap. But odder things have happened.

 

[Inspekdah]

Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Patty Mills and Tiago Splitter have all been ruled out for the Spurs on Monday.

They'll start Tony Parker, Marco Belinelli, Damion James, Tim Duncan and Aaron Baynes. But just because Duncan and Manu Ginobili haven't been ruled out for this one, doesn't mean they're guaranteed big minutes.

 

[Inspekdah]

Reggie Jackson will play tonight for Thunder. He will score at will. No play on Pelicans.

 

[Inspekdah]

Francisco Garcia said he will play against the Spurs on Monday.

The Rockets will be close to full strength while the Spurs will not. Garcia won't have much of a chance to shine with Chandler Parsons (wrist, hip) good to go. He's not a fantasy option.

Chandler Parsons - F - Rockets

It appears that Chandler Parsons will play on Monday.

He missed his last game with a hip and wrist injury, but looks "good to go" after his pre-game warmups.

 

[Inspekdah]

• With the Hawks having secured the No. 8 playoff spot in the East, head coach Mike Budenholzer will rest starters Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and DeMarre Carroll Monday night when the Bobcats visit for Atlanta’s final home game of the regular season. Korver has been bothered by back issues, and Millsap and Carroll have had hand problems. Mike Scott, Louis Williams, and Cartier Martin will start at power forward, shooting guard and small forward, respectively.
• Pero Antic, who has been slowed by a sprained right ankle, will start at center for Atlanta after missing two of the previous three games.
• Charlotte guard Kemba Walker will return to the starting lineup for the Bobcats after missing two games with a groin strain. The Bobcats (41-39) are currently in the No. 7 spot in the East, but can still catch the Wizards (42-38) for No. 6.
• The Bobcats have won six of their past seven games, but have lost 11 straight to Atlanta.

 

[Inspekdah]

• The Pelicans (32-48) will have only 10 players available for their penultimate game of the season as Brian Roberts is set to sit out with a left ankle injury. This will give second-year guard Austin Rivers another chance to handle the ball at the point. Guard Tyreke Evans will play after coach Monty Williams leaning towards him not being available during pre-game. Evans sat out Saturday’s loss to Houston with a right knee bone bruise, but will start tonight.
• New Orleans released center Greg Stiemsma and signed Melvin Ely on Monday. The move was less performance-based and more depth-based. Stiemsma has had “He had a really tough time with his knees this year,” Williams said of Stiemsma. “There would be days he’d be really good. And there would be days where he would be like, ‘Coach, I’m hurting a little bit.’ ”
• Oklahoma City (58-22) will be without Russell Westbrook tonight as he sits to get some rest before the playoffs. Guard Reggie Jackson will get the start, coach Scott Brooks said. Westbrook is 21.8 points, 6.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. Jackson has played in 78 games, starting 35, and is averaging 13.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds this season.
• The Thunder are one win away from earning a No. 2 seed with two games to play. If they don’t win tonight against New Orleans, they’ll have one more shot on Wednesday against Detroit. While Brooks said the team understands it could be sewn up tonight, he doesn’t expect them to feel the pressure of it. “Our guys understand that we need this game tonight, but it’s no different than any other game,” Brooks said. “We want to win them all. That’s how we approached this season from the start.”

 

[Inspekdah]

Bobcats/Rockets ML Parlay... +110 or so.

 

[Inspekdah]

D.J. Augustin (personal) will not play against the Magic on Monday.

He was a game-time decision, so hopefully this means his personal issue isn't serious. Augustin should be considered questionable for Monday's finale to put a bow on a surprisingly effective season. Expect Kirk Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy to step up tonight.

I expect a lot of dribbling by Captain Hinrich tonight.

= snail pace.

 

[Inspekdah]

Thunder off of a loss, vs. a team that will play Austin Rivers 48 minutes, need a win in final 2 games...

I do not see how this game stays close... Rockets swung the game 25 points in the 2nd half when they started trying on Saturday in about 10 minutes.

 

[Inspekdah]

Should have laid the points with the Cats. Could be a thumping. I'll be happy with that ML parlaying hitting though.

I am going tuckfexas style in here.

 

[SIGO]

Good stuff spek :shake:

 

[Inspekdah]

Thanks brah.

Pending Sixers +3, Cats/Rockets MLP +110, eyeing Thunder.

Just can't see how the Pelicans keep it close but the line is strangely short. Thunder were larger favs @ Sacremento last week and covered.

But it's a B2B tonight vs. rested team.

 

[Inspekdah]

Thunder -8, Rocks -5

 

[cogenman]

yeah thanks spek for info on who's playing and who's not

 

[Inspekdah]

No problem guys.

thunder shooting 57% and only lead by a basket, lol. Oh, NBA....
