MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Knutsen]

If the Suns can take both games with LAC... and DAL moves to 4th... and the Suns and Lakers end up 7th and 8th... and the rest of the table stays the same.... that would be great. 

MIN, DEN, OKC, DAL, LAC, NOP, PHX, LAL.

Those should be brutal match-ups between MIN vs LAL, DEN vs PHX, and OKC vs NOP, which can soften them up for the Mavericks in the next rounds.

Still wouldn’t be enough because the Clippers own the tiebreaker, they‘d have to lose another game - which should have been the one against the Cavs in which they were trailing by 26 points.

I also think that the Suns would end up 6th if they beat the Clippers twice, but we‘ll see.

Two biggest developments for me these last games concerning our playoff chances:
1.) Will Kawhi return in the regular season? 
2.) Will the Timberwolves be able to win the West, with the crucial game in Denver tomorrow?
