Pels and Thunder tied with Pels tiebreaker. Pels play Twolves tonight, Spurs Wednesday. Thunder play Blazers tonight, Twolves Wednesday.

Do you think we have to win this game to make the playoffs?

Worth noting here: Spurs have won 11 straight, Westbrook is currently OUT for tonight's game, and both Pels and Thunder are 3-0 against TWolves this season

If we lose tonight, we have no business in the playoffs

Magic number is 2, that can be any combination of Pelicans wins or OKC losses. Technically OKC and NOLA can both lose their last 2 and we're in, but I wouldn't count on that happening.

if we win tonight and OKC loses we are in the playoffs, So I would definitely say it is a must win.

Yes, because you have to match okc and they won't be losing to Minnesota either.

While we wouldn't technically be eliminated with a loss tonight, this is a must-win as you will ever see for a non-elimination game.

if the spurs win tonight, they will rest everyone against us because they will have the 2 seed locked up

What could be a funny twist is if we win tonight & OKC loses, we can actually rest our starters against the Spurs.

We absolutely should rest some key players in that scenario. Especially since we finally have a healthy Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday.
