GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

10:45 AM ET:

Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s Masters week and it’s also a snow day here in Utah, so my attention may not be 100% on basketball. With that said, this should be one of the last good full slates of the season. Most teams have a handful of games left and the closer we get to the end of the season, the worse the basketball becomes. The bad teams are trying to lose and the good teams are likely locked into their seeding and looking to rest players before the playoffs.

For tonight’s slate, we have 13 games on the schedule. There aren’t any playing in the second half of a back-to-back because there weren’t any games on the schedule last night. This will be the front end of a back-to-back for quite a few teams. Let’s quickly take a look at the notable injuries for the slate, which can be found in the Situation Room.

NOTE: The closer we get to the slate locking, the less likely it is that I will have the necessary time to update the tables below. For the most up-to-date information, make sure you are watching Crunch Time and monitoring LineupHQ for my Core Play tags and our Premium NBA Projections.
