The Knicks-Wizards game may be decisive.

The Knicks will probably rest Barrett. They are already "resting" Randle. Washington will play Zinger and Kuz might play in this one.

Those two no shows by the Mavs and Wolves really gonna make us sweat out the tank. We need that loss against the Knicks and still need SA to win one of there last three of @MIN, GS, and @DEN with the assumption that we'd close out with a loss versus CHA on the road. We win, we can't finish better than 10, probably looking at 11 unless SA did work in the play-in.

New York has Randle probably shut down which is actually good for us the way he's played this season and the Knicks are basically a .500 road team. It be a really good game not to play Porzingis, but seeing that it's his old team, don't see that happening.

Good post. I mean, SAS have nothing to play for, except Pop will want to keep them in shape for the play-in games (now guaranteed for them after the Lakers loss last night). Their @DEN game should be important for Denver, but the other games aren't so important for the other teams [? the GS game could be???]. But obviously, going into a must-win game after a 3 game losing streak can't be ideal. So I guess Pop just tries to win all of those games, right to the end. My guess is that the Wiz and the Knicks divide 10 and 11 between them (obv before the lotto) but :shrug:

San Antonio has the motivation of playing for home court versus NO for the first play-in. Probably not the highest priority, but with Pop's future looking iffy at best, maybe they go all out for one last go with him.

Trae Young is way better than Brad Beal and the Hawks' support cast is better than the Wiz collection of strewn about garbage. Therein lies the rub. How do we pay Beal the max and still get better? Terd better be working on a miracle.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?
