Both teams gonna be on the second leg of their near christmas b2b. Hope for the front office knowing their job as naughty boys and that Lauri groin injury flares up again.

B2B in Utah is schedule loss.

For who?

I think Lauri played last night because he will be sitting tonight. Just a theory though. I wonder if they have Key rest too. He had a hand issue he kept messing with for a few games that I wonder if they can use.

I hate this season so much lol.

Normally I'd agree but since we also played last night in Denver I think its offsetting schedule penalties?

Memphis is 3.5 pt favorites. I think its closer to even odds. I also think Lauri sits this one out. Wonder if they give anyone else the night off.

We could still lose and especially so if Lauri sits, but both teams going to Utah on a B2B obviously favors the home team.

Of course. Just don't think its a schedule win. its a coin toss. These are the games we should be absolutely shameless in. Svi/Lauri/Nurk... all managing Lauri's groin injury.

I like how Lauri's groin injury switches on and off based on how winnable the night's matchup is

I'm a groin expert. This is a common occurrence.

I do think any soft tissue injury likely doesn't heal for NBA guys with a week of rest... so if there is an injury I could see them managing it like this.

The fact is BKN has been sitting MP jr. on B2B for "rest". Like we could do that. This will be the 4th game he's missed. Key has missed none (he could have easily missed one or two with the illness he had). If the NBA has an issue with this and sends their finest groin experts I just hope they keep the same energy with the other 6-7 teams that suck too.
