Nuggets vs Wolves is entering 4th hour, double OT.
As it looks, Jokić will have +60 points triple double :rofl:

Curry almost broke league's record with 12-20 for 3 (52 points total)

Four players on 50+ minutes; Nine players on 40+ minutes; Twelve players on 30+ minutes.

Screw load management: play the game! Wilt Chamberlain would be proud!

Boston is 24-4 (85.7%) over its last 28 games.

That was one of best basketball regular season games i watched ( only "last half + 2 OTs) in past 10 years.

Entering playoffs, Porzingis looks like top 15 player :rofl:

Because they really needed extra help :lol:

Jokic is insane.

Nuggets bench is severely missing Strawther. Just no depth there. They were counting on their rookie Holmes this year too and he tore his achilles in summer league.

AG, Jokic, Murray, and MPJ sitting out against the Spurs.

Hawks lose to the Mavericks. Their 40th loss of the season.

v. Knicks
v. Jazz
at Magic
at Nets
at Sixers
v. Magic

is their remaining schedule.

If the Magic beat the Wizards tomorrow and win one of the two Hawks games, that would clinch the tiebreaker for Orlando and would mean the Hawks would need to finish a full game ahead.

The Hawks play 6 games in 9 days. The play-in tournament would make it 7 in 11 days

Feels very likely given who they still play that the Hawks' worst case scenario is still 39 wins.

The Magic will need to 3 of their last 5, including the Wizards and one of the two Hawks games, to likely get the home game in the 7/8.

The Heat are knocking on the Hawks door.

The Hawks still play the Jazz, Sixers and Nets. They really should win all three of those games which would get them to 39 wins at a minimum. If they split with Orlando, that gets them to 40.

The Heat are obviously hot right now, but they only have 35 wins and I'm hard pressed to believe they are going to end the year on a 12 game winning streak to get to 40 wins themselves.

The Heat have the Pelicans, 76ers, Wizards, and Bucks. All winnable. If they take 1 of 2 from the Bulls or Grizzlies, then they'll win 40.

Thank you, Mavs.

I suspect that 40 wins is enough for the Magic to clinch home court in the playin.

I'd rather lose in the play-ins than play the Celtics. We at least have a shot to win a game against the Cavs in the 1-8 matchup. The Celtics would flat out embarrass us.
