We know the Kings are looking at draft position right now and losing last night could have been big. The Kings sat everyone they could while still fielding a team. DeMarcus Cousins, Rajon Rondo, Darren Collison, Omri Casspi and Marco Belinelli all out last night. Seth Curry goes off for 20 and 15 assists. They are sitting core guys tomorrow.

Sacramento backups are playing downhill, as we say these days, but Rockets are in a must win playing to get in as 8th seed. Utah is 8 pt favorite vs Lakers and a win and a Rockets loss gets THEM in.

So maybe the most interesting game left for the season is the one that doesn't mean anything. If you think Rockets beat Sacramento (game time 8pm) then Utah will be eliminated by the time their game starts 10:30pm which is on ESPN with a Kobe pregame ceremony.

What a downer for the Jazz right before tipoff! And then the Lakers are getting 8 playing the Kobe send-off game vs fellow lottery team.

The Lakers are the worst team in the NBA that the only issue here they constantly get blown out and Kobe is nothing more than a Division II player now

Billy pros don't touch games like this

JJ, I just moved the line with my post. If you bet it, you'd have already won son.

[jjgold]

Nice...now Billy here is how you crush a line and win long term

I bet Knicks this AM in Vegas on ML +650

[Bill Dozer]

Sorry bout NY JJ... but sharp play with her closing in the +500s.

Late Show has to win one for the Gipper

1 Time!

what i think will be the nba way is that houston loses everyone hammers utah and then utah loses. These scenarios people think of never work out.

[Bill Dozer]

Down to +5.5. Yesterday was the time to bet it but the line can still drop. Who knows what will happen as people realize Utah is out and the Kobe last game hype keeps building.

Yeah, but the gamble was last night Utah was a 7 pt favorite and lost.
Lakers tonight at plus points and ML is a script show written by the NBE.

[TheMoneyShot]

Wow... it's at -3.5 Utah... at some places.

The NBA will make sure Kobe goes out with a win. Lakers first half should be solid...

Why not full game?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Why not full game?

I think the Lakers may come out a little too hyped up to start the game but will settle down to end the quarter. They should stretch the lead in the 2nd going into the half. They should be amped to close the game out but sometimes all that excitement wears you out in the end.

[jjgold]

Is Houston in?

[Bill Dozer]

Houston up 30 essentially eliminating Utah. Once the game got out of hand it went Lakers +4 to 3.5.

Lakers now only getting 3.

Rockets should have lost this game. They would have had a protected first round draft pick but now loses that with the win and now they get swept by GS. Dummies.

GSW does need the sweep. If this even goes to six we'll have to hear everyone second guess GSW playing all out for 82 games. It wont be until they put away the second round will they chill out.
