Friday hoops!
▪️ 1 vs. 2 in the West: Suns seek 10th straight win, Grizz seek 7th straight
▪️ Giannis now Bucks all-time leading scorer, faces Clippers (edit: looks like both teams are resting top players tonight)
▪️ #6 in West Nuggets host #7 Wolves

Want to see how Clips defend Giannis tonight, and how he’ll inevitably still dominate. Batum and George got their hands full tonight.

Suns/Grizzlies will be a fun game. Wolves/Nuggets is super important for seeding and for Denver to all but assure they avoid the play-in.
"Wes, Hill, Ibaka, Allen, Nwora, Brook, Pat, Ingles, Khris are all slow-mo, injury prone ... a sandcastle waiting for playoff wave to get wrecked. A castle with no long-range archers... is destined to fall. That is all I have to say."-- FOTIS

I've been getting "feedback" on the polls like twice a week lately lol. Just to nip it in the bud, there's only room for 10 poll options (5 games). So yes I know all the teams are not included. It's not an exact science and it's nothing personal. For tonight's slate there were 4 games that stood out to me as obvious inclusions, and then I added Kings/Rockets since those two teams haven't been in the poll much lately. Cope with it haha.

Probably for the best for the Clips but damn, robbed of a potentially great game!

Saw Giannis holding his back yesterday, good decision to rest him.

Steven Adams, JJJ, Desmond Bane, Tyus Jones are listed as doubtful for tonight's game and Ja is out. Looks like the Suns are going to be facing the Dillon Brooks and the Grizzlies' bench and scrubs.

The Nuggets have a better record but, top to bottom, The TWolves are the better team this season. Had they not started off so slow they would be comfortably out of the playin. They've won the last two matchups by double digits with Ant-man dropping 10 3s in one of those games.

In theory that Phoenix Memphis game should be a great game. But Phoenix has 1 seed locked up and Memphis has the 2 seed locked up so they don't really have anything to play for. I wonder if they'll show up to test each other anyway

KP vs Luka will be an entertaining watch I hope.
