Wonder if the Jazz do the same thing tonight. Detroit is pretty good as of late, so you may be able to get away with playing a couple more starters.

I'm curious how much DA is willing to gamble on wins. So far we have been pretty lucky. We almost just beat NOP with all of their non injured guys playing and all of our guys sitting.

The other thing to balance is that we have WAS, TOR, and PHI after this game. I can't imagine we can sit everyone for what would be 5 games in a row at that point.

My guess is Kessler plays this game since he was just listed as rest. We probably play one more vet as well, and hope for the best.
 
Kessler plays and Hardy might have to tie Sexton down in the Delta cellars to prevent him from playing. Clarkson, whatevs. Might be that one of Collins/Markkanen plays as well.

The (first) injury report comes out at 1PM.
 
I would guess we play a decent amount of players. Guessing JC, Sexton, and Walker play. You have to sit the entire house vs Washington, so you need to play some of the players you want to rest/injury manage tonight.

Detroit blew out Boston recently, so they are on a heater.
 
This is a tough one. We don't need any more FAFO games where we win being too cute. We've come too far. Play some of the guys and it has a wild difference, and you win a game if the Pistons are off.

My guess is we play it pretty straight tonight. Close with Cody/Brice if its close. Maybe play a few of the guys against the Wiz (we are winning that game) and sit vs. Toronto for the back to back and play Boston straight up the next night.

Stars are playing right now. Both Potter and Oscar are playing, but Harkless is inactive. I wonder if that means Harkless plays tonight.

Interesting. I can't imagine they would have Potter and Oscar play 3 games in 24 hours. Honestly it's pretty insane that they are asking them to play 2 games in like 15 hours. Or maybe that's all part of Ainge's diabolical plan.

More likely it means that Kessler is playing and possibly Collins or Lauri too. With Harkless potentially playing tonight maybe Sexton and Clarkson will still be out.
 
The Jazz don't even have a fake injury for Kessler, it's just rest. If they sit him two games in a row with rest and no injury the league should really intervene. Jazz need to get a fake injury for him asap.

Kessler is playing. He's not listed on the injury report at all.

My point was that they can’t sit him out twice in a row without any injury for rest, so since he missed last game he was always going to play today.
