Sunday’s important games list:
Heat at Pacers Pacers by 1.5 5:00pm
Cavaliers at Clippers Clippers by 4.5 3:30pm
Bulls at Magic Magic by 6.5 6:00pm
Knicks at Bucks Bucks by 3.5 7:00pm NBA TV
76ers at Spurs 76ers by 6.5 7:00pm
2nd Bucks 47-30
3rd Cavs 46-32
4th Magic 45-32
5th Knicks 45-32
6th Pacers 44-34
7th Heat 43-34
8th 76ers 43-35
A win or loss by the Clippers or Spurs doesn’t affect them that much so who knows how important tomorrow is.
Knicks at the Bucks is huge because a Bucks loss and a Cavs win tightens the race for 2nd seed.
A Cavaliers loss could drop them down 2 positions coupled with a Magic and Knicks wins.
A Knicks win keeps them fighting for 3rd or 4th seed.
A Knicks loss leaves them at 45 wins and the Pacers with a win go to 45 wins.
A Magic loss leaves them at 45 but I don’t see the Bulls winning at the Magic.
So a Magic win with a Bucks loss puts them on the 2nd place Bucks tail and coupled with a Cavs loss they move up to 3rd seed.
Heat loss coupled with a 76ers win vs the Spurs drops the Heat to 8th and 76ers move up to 7th.
Heat win moves them to 6th and drops the Pacers to a tie with the 76ers if they win. I think Pacers retain 7th though.
Just straight up wild
My Sunday winner guesses are:
Pacers over Heat
Clippers over Cavaliers
Magic over Bulls
Knicks upset Bucks
76ers over Spurs
