Tonight's games:
Spurs @ Nets
Clippers @ Hawks
Rockets @ Bucks
Thunder @ Jazz
If the Jazz win and the Clippers lose Jazz are in sole possession of 4th. If the Rockets and Spurs also lose the Jazz will only be 3 games out of 3rd and 5 games out of 2nd. They'd also have a 3.5 game lead on Memphis and a 4 game lead on OKC.
Race for 8th:
Kings @ Pistons
Cavs @ Pelicans
OP updated
Unless that player is Gobert, JimLes. I don't see the Jazz as better than .500 if Withey and Diaw are rotating at the 5. Or with Favs and Trey Brick Lyles as the 4/5 combo.
Rudy is our superstar. Jazz would struggle without him.
The Rockets ... and they're already garbage defensively.
The Jazz would drop off defensively, but the offense would still be passable. The Rockets without Harden would struggle to create anything, and they're already garbage defensively.
Half time and the Clips are up 18 on the road over the Hawks.
Rockets down early.
Mea culpa. I've only seen 3-4 games the Rockets have played this year and they've shipped 105-115 points in every one of them. I just assumed that's how their D normally is.
