If the Nuggets lose this game they are out of the playoffs. If that isn't enough motivation then I don't know what is. They have covered 4 straight and won 3 of those SU. I know Westbrook is going for the triple double but I believe that is causing a distraction now and we saw that last game as the Suns blew out the Thunder. His teammates are more into him than actually playing the game.

Celtics can still clinch the #1 overall seed as well as they are just one game back of the Cavs. A win here tonight will put them half a game behind

While I know the match up doesn't favor the Thunder I just think they are still giving big time effort. The Spurs were up big in the 1st quarter on the Warriors and completely laid an egg the rest of the game. This team looks tired plain and simple. They now are content with the 2 seed in the West knowing they cant catch the Warriors now so I don't see them playing to hard. While, Westbrook is playing lights out right now and the Spurs aren't going to have any guard that can stop him. He is clearly playing for the MVP title and is making a huge case down the stretch. With the Clippers having the night off I see the Thunder only being one game back for the 5 seed

There is no doubt who the betting public will be all over in this game and that is the Rockets.

Portland has all that motivation though as they have a one game lead for the 8th seed in the Western Conference. They are quietly one of the hottest teams in the league winning 4 straight and 7 of 8.

This team is coming off a terrible loss where they blew and 18 point lead to the Kings in the final 5 minutes of that game. They now have had two days off and will be eager for a big bounce back. The Wizards played last night beating the Lakers and staying an extra night in LA for these guys isn't always a good thing. The Clippers do have big motivation here also as they are only ahead of the Thunder by 1 game. The 5 and 6 seed is very crucial because they would rather play the Jazz and the Rockets first round.

This streak has now gave them control on the Eastern Conference. With a win here tonight they go a full game ahead of the Cavs. That serves as enough motivation for me plus catching the Bucks on a back to back doesn't hurt either.

Minnesota is quietly playing better and are to a surprise only 3 games back now of the 8th seed. In recent home games they have beat teams like the Warriors, Clippers, Mavs Raptors, Bulls. The only game they haven't covered @ home was the Cavs and they let that one slip away.

Kicking myself for not taking the Knicks yesterday. Anyways the Warriors east coast road trip comes to an end here tonight and you can tell this team is flat out tired. They have failed to cover 6 straight and with another back to back situation the value lies with the Hawks. Atlanta coming off back to back heart breakers losing to Cavs by 5 despite them hitting 25 threes and a buzzer beater yesterday to the Pacers. Hawks took the Warriors to the wire on their court earlier in season only losing by 5. You can expect a big effort here
