Zion got that look in his eye on defense :o

Pels desperately need a star center next to Zion since he's finally a superstar.

Keldon's middle name is Wilder. Has there ever been a more appropriate one?!

Why isn’t Embiid playing? Don’t they care to get the 6th seed?

He just came back and the Sixers played last night in Memphis. They aren't playing him in back to backs.

seems strange as they could avoid additional games that Embiid would have to play. Can't chance anything though if he wasn't right today.

Lakers win the last few games and odds are that they get to 6th.

If Lakers win tonight, i think they move up to 6. 1 game back right now with Grizz/Warriors playing for nothing after the Wolves match, and then Pel's last game. They got the tie breaker and should be able to run the table if they win tonight.

The playoff standings are crazy. If the Magic lose their last four, they could end up in 8th. If they win their last 4, they will be the 2nd seed.

Nah they still have 1 more loss than Suns & Pels. Sacramento will beat the Nets. Lakers actually drop to 9th with an L tonight or stay 8th with a W.

If Lakers beat Pelicans the last game of the season they hold the tiebreaker over them as they'll win the season series 3-1. That's if they end up tied though which the Lakers are currently 1 game behind. Losing tonight wouldn't help.
