NBA Cats Make Their Playoff Push

Oklahoma City Thunder Vs Houston Rockets, 2:30 pm on ABC

With a five game lead the OKC Thunder have basically clenched the three seed in the Western Conference and have been using that lead to get some rest for their big stars. That has translated into plenty of playing time for our guy Enes Kanter. Houston is currently at the other end of the spectrum, one game out of the playoffs. Terrence Jones has missed most of the last month due to illness and the Rockets could use him today.

Dallas Vs Minnesota

Dallas is currently clinging to the Western conference’s seventh seed with a tie-breaker over Utah. Karl-Anthony Towns and Minnesota are heading to a top ten pick. KAT is seemingly a lock for the rookie of the year award with a bright future coming for the Timberwolves.

Washington Vs LA Clippers

The Wizards are currently three games out of the playoffs with six games to go. The room for error for John Wall and Co. is slim to none as they travel to the west coast to face Chris Paul and the Clippers. Today’s game may be the final nail in a disappointing season for Washinton.

Utah Vs Phoenix

The upstart Jazz have been one of the surprises of the NBA season and currently hold the 8th spot in the West. Today, Trey Lyles will face off with Devin Booker, Archie Goodwin, and Brandon Knight in the Kentucky showdown of the day. Phoenix is on their way to a top pick so their drive to win isn’t as strong as Utah.

Boston Vs LA Lakers

Just six years ago the Lakers and Celtics were playing in the NBA Finals. Now the Lakers are team turmoil as Kobe Bryant prepares to retire and the team has no trust. Boston on the other hand have the potential to rise as high as the Eastern Conference three seed.
