    Tonight's Action:

    Every team is playing tonight, 15 games, 14 of which we are tracking . . . because . . . I don't know why.

    • ATL @ MIL -- Go Millsap / Korver!
    • PHI @ MIA -- Will anyone play in this game?
    • ORL @ IND -- Ditto?
    • UTA @ MIN -- How much you wanna bet former Wolves players Ty and Sid want to win tonight? I think Adelman wants to win too, to get that 41-41 season
    • WAS @ BOS -- Very likely that Wash goes all out tonight
    • LAL @ SAS -- Spurs will roll
    • PHX @ SAC -- Suns will win, for the dignity of being a 48 win team that missed the playoffs
    • DET @ OKC -- Last game of the season is against a team in the other conference? Crazy.
    • BKN @ CLE -- Deron Williams vs Kyrie Irving . . . oh, wait . . .
    • HOU @ NOP -- Dwight against the injured team, hooray!
    • TOR @ NYK -- Battle for the Atlantic continues
    • GSW @ DEN -- Dubs finish the season on the road? What about the hype?
    • CHI @ CHA -- two playoff teams going at it
    • DAL @ MEM -- this game actually matters

    Go Magic, Celtics, and Timberwolves!
