    Now that the playoff teams are set....anything to gain?

    Are there any playoff teams that would benefit from either a win or a lose in the remaining regular season games?

    Your opinions please

    Clippers need a win to get homecourt advantage against the Grizz.

    Are Durant or Westbrook playing today? They're locked into the #2 spot

    • LeBron and Wade running post-practice sprints, an indication that both also will sit out tonight against Celtics.

    • Chris Bosh confirms he has a strained right hamstring. Said he will be ready for playoffs.

    They are already officially the #2 team as Spurs won last night.

    no indication afaik that they're sitting out today, but after sunday's meltdown I'd be surprised if Brooks rests his players

    Asked if Harden would be available to play against the Kings, Brooks said: "At this moment, no."

    • Howard acknowledged he doesn't expect to play tonight, but only because Jazz's chemistry and rotation are strong.

    Grant Hill (knee) is optimistic that he'll be able to play in Tuesday's showdown with the Jazz.

    Channing Frye (shoulder) has a "very slim" chance to play in Tuesday's showdown with the Jazz.

    tasty bit of info....

    Lou Williams (rest) is not expected to play in the Sixers' final two regular season games.

    The Sixers are angling for a matchup with the top-seeded Bulls, not the second-seeded Heat. Therefore, they need to lose their final two games to ensure the eighth seed.

    How can one be betting when you can just type nba playoff standings or anything of the sort in google, why come on here and ask, I dont get it. Cant decipher terminology such as games back, games remaining?

    The Celtics (37-27) still opted to rest Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen in Friday's 97-92 loss to the Hawks. Pierce and Garnett could return Tuesday, but Allen (ankle) and Rondo (back) remain day-to-day with injuries.
    Allen, who has missed seven straight games, sat out Monday's practice along with Rondo, Mickael Pietrus and Greg Stiemsma.

    "If I thought our guys were banged up, I'd sit them. That's not even a question for me," coach Doc Rivers told the Celtics' official website. "I'm taking rest and rhythm over home court."

    "Home court is great; you want to have home court," Pierce said. "You want to try to play for home court, but at the end of the day you want to be healthy first.
