Brooklyn is in the driver’s seat for 7th. They just have to beat a tanking Pacers team to clinch it. That would give them homecourt in any play-in game and they’d have up to 2 chances to win one game.
Win 1 — in the playoffs
Lose 2 — in the lottery

Kevin Durant on Steve Nash’s Nets coaching tenure: “I think he’s done a great job. The last two years he’s been dealt a wild hand. Injuries. Trades. Disgruntled players. Guys in and out of the lineup. Stuff that he can’t control. I felt like he’s handled it as best he could.” pic.twitter.com/C95iQaCcuI – 10:48 PM

With Nets and Hornets winning, we are still in position for **MAXIMUM CHAOS** four-way tie at 43-39.
Would require Nets and Cavs to lose Sunday, Charlotte to win, and Hawks to split tonight and Sunday.
Would be:
7. Nets
8. Hawks
9. Hornets
10 Cavs – 9:53 PM

Halftime: Nets lead the Cavs 62-54. Brooklyn has stretched it out at times, but Cleveland stayed within striking distance. Good 3-point shooting for BK. Kevin Durant doing Kevin Durant things. – 8:39 PM

3. Raptors most dangerous? pic.twitter.com/mZb7reyyCe – 5:38 PM

I asked Tyrese Haliburton about teaming up with Gabe York, who has one of the best @Ballislife mixtapes ever (https://t.co/VdJRhVDmD2).
“I was like, ‘Bro, I used to watch your BallIsLife mixtape every day.’ So it is cool. This is the first time I’ve ever met him.” #Pacers pic.twitter.com/CLjaAUoSzV – 2:04 PM

More clarity based on the new @Basketball-Reference projections…
The Celtics first round opponent odds now look like this…
53% Chicago
28% Toronto
7% Cleveland
6% Brooklyn
4% Atlanta
1% Charlotte/Philadelphia
For the record, a 3-way tie would mean Boston 2, Milwaukee 3, Phily 4 pic.twitter.com/VBjvEF6GXC – 12:44 PM

Miami Heat guard Max Strus had an improbable NBA journey. He played D-II before transferring to DePaul, went undrafted & tore his ACL. Now, Miami is 13-2 when he starts. More on a life changing convo, Jimmy Butler, Joe Harris comparisons & his future.

Andre Drummond said he wasn’t worried at halftime of the Knicks game because he looked up and saw Kevin Durant only had nine points. “That’s going to change real soon,” Drummond said at the time.
Narrator: It did. – 11:09 AM

Seth Curry said he’s playing through pain with his ankle and trying to stay off of it as much as possible. Doesn’t think he will need surgery. Adds if Tiger Woods can shoot 1-under at Augusta, he can go out and play. – 10:55 AM
