This is an advantage of the Lakers as Mavs are missing their big man, Davis and Drummond should dominate inside, and hopefully Davis minutes will be extended in this game. Both teams needed a win, so this should be a great an exciting game to watch, Luka Magic vs the Lake show.

That still depends. If Davis will perform like he used to do even with just limited minutes, the Lakers could win tomorrow.
Mavs still have Powell.
Lakers still lost regardless of how dominant Drummond was with 19 rebs.
But then again, If AD will make a good performance tomorrow, it would be a sure win especially If the Mavericks will play without Porzingis.

Even with 13+ games left for the Lakers, I'm not worried that much because they'll for sure play in the post season.

I guess nobody doubts that the Lakers will play in the postseason, but they need to keep their current position because it will be better for them to play against the Nuggets in the first round than against the Clippers. And yeah, Porzingis definitely won't play the next game. So the Lakers will have some advantage.

with playoffs getting closer and closer, I think the lakers management and coaching staff should play LeBron and Davis in the playoffs there is no need for them to rush to play in the regular season maybe 5-10 minutes of play should if they insist they want to play although I think they will contest it, they should think about the championship, not the regular season, they will be frustrated with it but they will benefit a lot,

For sure they wanted to get the two play together before the play-offs. It is a good gauge for the Lakers to see how the team will fit and play out once their superstars are back into action 100%.

Warriors with a big win today against the Nuggets, Curry started his scoring again with 32 points. They've lost to Wizards, which is a game that I think they should have won. But at least they are back in the win column again.

Lakers stars needs to get some warm up before the Playoff, even for some short minutes it's better than nothing.

Bringing this two with an healthy conditions, whoever might be the team to compete will really have a very tough series to play with, knowing how
heavy this two superstars together with the rest of Lakers squad.

In regards with GSW's amazing performance, seems that they are really trying more harder to reached back the playoff. Steph play as how we

mostly love to see, impressive leadership convert to another win.

^^ The line are getting tight along the 8-10 position now. And with that win Golden State are in the 9th position just a game above Spurs with has a game against NOP. So that game is very important for both of them. But I think it's a must game for Spurs to just stay on the 10th and put them at least 4 games above NOP.

If you will see the next games of the Warriors, 4 of the 13 remaining games of the team are above 500.
Now if you will see the next games of the Grizzlies, 5 of the 13 remaining games are above 500.

The remaining games of these 2 teams will be very crucial if they really want to reach the playoffs. All of their remaining games are very important and they will meet on May which is the last game for both teams. Portland is on a losing streak right now. If one of these 2 teams will make a winning streak at least in their remaining games, they may end up being in the 7th seed.

The Lakers are 2.5 games above the Mavericks and 3 games below the Nuggets. If they don't really care about their standings right now, I think they can allow these 2 superstars to play at the start of the playoffs rather than letting them play during the regular season but seeing the current standings in the West, a losing streak might put Lakers from their current position right now to even lower position. If LBJ and AD aren't 100% healthy then let them play in the playoffs then if the remaining players can get some wins.

I'm sure AD will like to perform better against the Mavericks again. He played limited minutes, but I think he will be somewhat extended here specially if he is playing very good in the first quarter. Sad to see the Lakers has so many injuries this season. But yes, if they can survived the post season and enter the playoffs with Lebron James expecting to be back in action, it will be a different Lakers team now.

They might make them play with restricted minutes if ever the roleplayers will fail to win some of their games.
35 wins at number 5 while Mavs and Blazers tailing them at number 6 and 7 with 32 wins.
There are still 13 games left and it's possible for Lakers to enter a play-in tournament if they can't even win some of the games left. They are not safe yet. I think this is the reason why they are letting AD play to heat him up.
Tomorrow, they will be battling against the Mavs again. Injury reports are swollen on the Lakers team while two on Mavs, Maxi Kleber and KP.

They are a huge underdogs against the Denver team, but Curry managed to have his "usual 30 point game" and then they also have big numbers from Wiggins and Oubre and Jordan Poole to help Steph win this game against the Nuggets.

Another tough lost for the Portland Trailblazers, they are now on a slumped, losing 4 games.

They are not a huge underdog as per betting line, the odds is -2.5 for the Denver Nuggets, so I would not say it's an upset.

https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nba/odds/2021042402-nba-den-gs/

GSW is underrated now, but they prove they can win against a good team which is the Denver nuggets, which also means that GSW is here to compete and would like to qualify in the playoffs.

^^That limited minutes will also help him as much as it helps the team as well. Think about it this way, if he came back and started with 30+ minutes there is a chance he could be injured again and that is bad for himself the most, and also it would be bad for the team as well.

However it would also be bad for the team to play him 30 minutes, even without injury risk, because he hasn't played in a while and playing him small minutes first while he is still not back to his shape and then increasing his minutes will definitely make things better for the team, let him get back to his level again and he will be ready to play 30+ minutes and deliver for sure.

Of course Lakers needed him, and he will be there, he is playing already which is good news, but they can't risk an injury at this point, that would mean he may not be 100% in playoffs, that is why they are being extra careful.

Would really a tough decision but they would really be needing to that for them to keep AD on having the risk of some injury again and they would really be in big trouble if that would happen.

Their current standing is going down but still far of to be dropped on playoffs.Its just understandable if they put out limited minutes of gametime for AD but it would be gradually go back to normal

minutes as he would able to play further but he should really be careful because we dont know on when injuries could possibly happen.Even if you do play less minutes but
you arent careful then likely you would really be injured again.

Better they not force him to play for better future since if their management is not sure about his health.
Better put him back on the line up once his 100% healthy. Looking at his last games performance makes him looks like that he's not totally ok so ita good to make him rest and maybe let him comeback in playoffs. Although we know lakers really need him but rushing his recovery doesn't give any good effects to them in the long run.

Sometimes this is already in concern on psychological aspect because when a player had been gone through an injury then it cant really be avoided those kind of hesitance or change in gameplay

on where someone will really be changing up his past performance and a little bit more careful or simply they would really limit out their movements or true potential in game.

There's no exception with that one but i do much prefer on seeing players do came from injury on at least have ample time on court to overcome that fear but of course not every diagnosis
would really be perfect even if doctors do tell its already cured or totally fine but we cant really cross out the possibility for it to be in pain again.

Management had already set out on whats proper for the team.

Celtics - Suns game could be the most boring game of last night. Grin

After knowing that Celtics' important players would play in this game, I was expecting a high-scored and close game. But Celtics won the game 99-86. I wasn't surprised with Celtics' winning a victory but Suns were really not good enough to put up a good fight in this.

Suns had a bad night, that's just it, sometimes they are exhausted and they loss a game, but don't worry it's just one game and they are still in good standing now, last time I check, they are already in the number 2 rank in the west, so that's a guaranteed playoff spot already.

Suns loss now, but they'll start winning games again, and I think they are not so hungry now that they know they will be in the playoffs, you know injury could happen and things could go bad to them, not only they are after on winning in regular season but most especially itn he playoffs as they did not step on that big competition for a long time.

Yeah, I would say that Suns started very bad and let the Celtics get a huge lead. And with that lead, it's hard to comeback when Kemba is on fire, I thought that they can contend at least in the 1st half, trim the lead and then make it competitive in the 2nd half.

For AD's limited minutes in his comeback, I think LA did a good job not letting him play more minutes. It's obvious, we all know that a player who has been injured cannot come back and play full minutes like he use to when he didn't injured himself. They are still in 5th place, good position with enough room from the next team, Portland at 3 games.

definitely, as I said before they will restrict Anthony Davis minutes and he will not perform well in his return because he will, measure or check if there is still pain, he needs a couple of games to bring back to the original shape, Boston players are really improving especially Jason Tatum he will be a franchise player for them, he is still young and more room for growth can't wait to see how he will perform in his prime.

Davis had some limited production due to limited minutes, but I think he is pissed with that limit and Lebron laught at him.

I saw this video in youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvwOB80RFso... our guy Davis still want to play but has to follow the minute restriction.

Let's understand his emotion, he just want his team to win because their standing is going down. Give him few games and he will not be restricted again, just like Kevin Durant when he got back from injury, he was only given with limited minutes but eventually got off from restriction and played the maximum minutes, unfortunate for him he was injured again, so probably Lakers managemnet are just being careful as they know how valuable Davis in the playoffs.

Yeah, it's all but natural for Davis to act and be emotional. After all he really wanted to play and chooses this game against the Mavs because this is critical for them. I think Durant though is different case, the timing, specially Lakers in the playoffs.

So let's wait and see what will be the response of LA management. They really need Davis, probably more minutes in his next game.
