    Only Dillon is on the injury report. Normally this would mean that Fred is playing.

    I am hoping that OKC, knowing that the game is meaningless to them, doesn't play 100%. 3 game lead on Cleveland. They have a nice cushion.

    Jalen and Sengun better show up. I don't care if they show up for the Jazz or the Wizards. We need them to show up for the great teams otherwise Ime needs to let the bench play.

    Hot take:
    Since DB is out tonight, we should start Cam.
    He's streaky and if he hits a couple of 3s, that will be a good offset from missing DR'S production.
    Also, it keeps our normal rotation in tact...

    Oh, crap Dillon is out.....I forgot that, every T from here on out he misses a game.

    OKC might start resting players, they have a 3 game lead on HC for the entire playoffs...

    We should obviously start Jabari

    If Fred's ankle is still touch-and-go, I wouldn't mind starting Amen, Jalen, Tari, Jabari, and Alpi, honestly. That lineup can get up and go.

    Wrong!

    It’s every two techs that lead to a one game suspension.

    It’s what I’ve been lobbying for all year. Just give it a try Ime, if just for fun.

    As long as we start Tari, I'm good. The Rockets haven't lost a game since the break with him in the starting lineup.

    It would be smart for them to rest some players not wanting to risk injury just before the playoffs. Even if some of their regular starters play to give them some burn I don't see them playing many minutes. OKC still has a solid bench though so still not an easy win.

    In Vegas they are offering FVV prop bets. I got in on one. My guess is that he's going to play.

    We're going to need offense tonight!
    Heck, if FVV is out, let's run with Reed at point as well!

    More like Ime! We need for him to coach better than he did in LA.

    1) No stupid rotations
    2) If OKC are hitting their 3's against the Zone, abandon it
    3) Since Dillon is out, you might want to play Cam
