NY Knicks - LA Lakers

OKC still has a lot to play for and the leaders are definitely not conservative because the first place is achievable in the regular season. The Rockets also look good, but I don't think they are currently ranked according to their capabilities. The motivated visitors should take care of business and win their away games.

Bulls want to make it into the playoffs, but for that they need a better position and to reach it with their own hands. The Blazers are also still in the fight, but I think their chances are slim due to many injured players, and their away games do not promise anything good.

The playoffs have already begun and there is no excuse, the team GSW does not seek and does not have a back-to-back situation. Starting 5 with Podziemski and Moody is 13-0 while Curry and Butler together are 19-2. While the fight is on to avoid the play-in and possibly move up to 4th or even 3rd place, I am not expecting anything other than Warriors points tonight. Overall, GS is a higher level team for me than Denver, which I consider weak and poorly defending this year, and I do not see them as one of the top 3 teams in the conference, even though they are currently ranked 3rd in the standings.
