Must win game for the Pacers if they are to continue into the Playoffs. If the Pacers beat Atlanta, Indiana would be the No. 7 seed in the East. If the Pacers lose, they would need either the Bulls or the Heat to lose on Wednesday night or they will miss the playoffs. Indiana to play harder than the playoff ready Hawks.

That line though.

Memphis Coach Fizdale stated – “How we play in that game (matters). But I can’t waste one minute trying to prepare for Dallas when we’ve got the Spurs (coming up).”

Meanwhile Tony Romo will suit up for the Mavs and take his place on the bench.

“Fan appreciation night,” Nowitzki wrote. “Also, honoring tonyromo tonight. Come early and you can watch him shoot some air balls in layup line …”

Throw this game away.

Picks –

Rubbish game, don’t bother. It’s more interesting to watch Melo, and start taking bets on whether he’s a Knick for the 2017/18 season. We’ll give odd of 1.60 that he moves on…

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Philadelphia -2.0 – LOSS

The Midfield Pick – Melo to go – WIN  😉

Westbrook broke the record and hit a game winner over the Nuggets in Denver just a couple of day’s back. The Nuggets will finish 8th in the West, but will take the line here.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Oklahoma City -7.5 – LOSS

Both set to miss the Playoffs. Orlando smashed the Pistons 115-87 last time out, so we’ll run with them again at home.

Tricky one. Jazz could keep the possibility of home-court advantage in the 1st round of the Playoffs with a win. Pop stated he won’t pull the rest cards, and Haywood not certain for the Jazz. Watch for lineups before the tip.

Golden State 116.0 104.4 +11.6

The Lakers may as well try and win this one, as they lost their prized draft pick position with stellar play over the last month. Golden State to be careful, and the young Lakers to play for the post season party swagger.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Golden State -15.0 – WIN

The Clips can get home-court advantage with a win tonight, and will likely play all starters, but the line goes to the Kings.

With McCollum and Lillard looking to play, and Davis and Cousins likely sitting for the Pelicans, we’ll take the Portland line.
