    Brooklyn vs. Indiana!

    Which is the best pick here... Brooklyn +6 or Indiana -6 and why?

    A meaningless game. I will lean Pacers as I think they want gather some momentum going into the playoffs.

    It's a guessing game as to which team actually wants to win this game - both teams are secured in their seeds so no real motivation.

    Pacers are probably the play based on just the line, but probably best to avoid.

    Not true, Pacers need to win to clinch 3 seed (with miniscule chance at 2 but doubtful). If Pacers lose, they could still drop to 4-seed, lead over Nets would be two games will three to play but Nets would own 4-0 season sweep.

    Pacers will have to lose all their remaining games while Nets need to win all games. Yes, certainly possible but a very very low chance.

    And division leaders automatically win any tiebreakers against non-division leaders.

    THAT I never knew! I knew that division winners are guaranteed a top 4 seed, but I always thought that the one non-division winner in the top 4 would be treated equal in regards to tiebreakers.

    Ironically though if the Pacers and the Nets were to face each other in the playoffs later, I think the Nets would have homecourt advantage in the event of a tie. Division leaders automatically win any tiebreakers against non-division leaders in regards to seeding, but the team with the better record always has the homecourt advantage regardless of seeding and I think they use same tiebreakers across the board there.

    Boys this game is not meaningless. Both teams are playing starters and have seedings to play for. No resting starters here

    Also updated *Gerald Wallace is out for Nets with injury
