00:00
let's talk about what is at stake in the western conference to begin the lakers currently the
00:06
three seed the nuggets the four slightly in front of the clippers despite having the same record at
00:12
48 and 32 the warriors 47 and 33 the grizzlies 47 and 33 the timberwolves 47 and 33 and both the
00:21
kings and the mavericks have already earned a play in tourney spot they will be the 9-10 matchup
00:27
just a matter of who hosts that 9-10 game more than likely it will be sacramento the kings have a
00:34
game advantage so let's start drs with what we have to figure out in the jumbled three through six who
00:41
is going to avoid a play in tourney spot who is going to be a playoff team from the very start
00:47
again a reminder oklahoma city and houston have already clinched their playoff seeds okc the one
00:53
houston the two out west the lakers tonight will host the houston rockets before visiting the
00:59
portland trailblazers to end out the regular season the nuggets have the grizzlies and the rockets they
01:05
travel to houston the rockets probably going to be resting over these final three games or three days
01:12
i should say the clippers visit their northern california foes in the kings and the warriors
01:17
both teams still with a ton at stake the warriors visit the trailblazers tonight before hosting the
01:23
clippers on sunday that's going to be a huge game the dubs and eclipse on sunday afternoon
01:28
yeah a lot of them i look at the first two teams listed the lakers nuggets i expect sweeps out of
01:32
both of them houston doesn't matter it doesn't care maybe it's los angeles they might get excited
01:36
lakers win that game they need that game same thing with portland if they need that game on sunday
01:40
but also changes we're talking about friday sunday some of these games might not mean anything on sunday
01:45
and that could drastically change but we're just anticipating that these teams will still be in the
01:49
market let's just say for seating purposes and nothing can change at this point
01:52
nuggets again i expect memphis and houston the clippers are interesting they'll beat sacramento
01:56
tonight because again sacramento already has it wrapped up there's no reason for them to expend
01:59
any more energy and get any injuries because they're gonna have a quicker turnaround time
02:03
playing in the play-in than let's just say the kid then the uh clippers would have at that point so
02:08
that's my expectations on the first three warriors they'll beat portland and then who knows if
02:12
the clippers need that game sunday same exact thing but i think it's pretty paint by numbers
