So now that we're tracking both the playoffs (the usual) and the lotto (the new) we have an expanded "While you were sleeping" schedule to track. Here was all the action from last night:
- The Suns beat the Thunder, which is awesome. The Warriors were idle, so they are now only 1.5 games from them.
.
.
- There were only 3 games last night, and only 2 that mattered. And, well, it was a split.
Trading Places:
- No teams traded places last night.

Tonight's Action:
Tonight 16 of the 20 teams we track are in action.
- The Bucks visit the Pelicans
- The Celtics host the Nets
- The Lakers play again, 2nd night of a b2b, in Denver against the Nuggets
- The Jazz visit the Knicks -- only 0.5 between these two clubs
- The Kings visit the Raptors
- The Cavaliers visit the Bobcats
- The Pistons visit the Timberwolves
- The Hawks visit the Warriors -- don't worry Millsap is questionable for the game, and their next two bigs are also out
- The Grizzlies visit the Bulls
- The Mavericks host the Trail Blazers
Because GSW seems to have an easy game it will be up to DAL and MEM to keep up with them. DAL is 2.0 games back, and MEM is 3.0 games back. And they both play tough teams tonight. Yikes.
And well, our Jazz are in action and tonight's game is going to be a lot of fun if you enjoy watching people take shots from 19-20 feet.
