Would be huge if he didn't play. I don't really see any reason for them to push him. They don't really need this game.

They're not catching Milwaukee. I guess they could be looking at Boston and wanting HC if they make it.

Haven’t you realized that “questionable” as defined by our opponents actually means “definite”.

Of course you know the Pelicans definition of “questionable”, as it relates to our players, actually means “out”.

I figure you know all of this, but have been surprised with some Pels fans not knowing our definition vs our opponent’s definition.

Seeing how Embiid is playing today, he’s definitely playing tomorrow

The Joker don't want NO part of Big Val or Jr...he'll hide on the bench...for this one. (I hope !!)

Agree. He was questionable last time we played them and he played.

maybe they'll sit him against us in the hopes they don't need him against us so he can be fully rested for the 2nd half of the back-to-back on Friday when they play the Suns

Grizzlies could still catch him. i'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't play. I think he'd probably want to get to that 70 games played mark as well because it would help his MVP chances simply by more games being played. That's one of the things he has going in his favor.

He's 1000% playing.

Any Pelicans player that is questionable = OUT
Any non-Pelicans player that is questionable = Always plays

Don't overthink it.

Is it possible that Denver could be looking at possible 1st round opponents and would much rather face the Pels than, I don't know, Dallas??.... Presuming Jokic isn't going to play both games in their back-to-back, any chance they would sit Jokic tonight instead of tomorrow against Phoenix because of that?

With the possibility of Zion being back, no matter how minute, teams would not want to play the Pels at all. No team, even the #1 seed, would want to face them in the playoffs.

Isn’t this around the time Zion should be back? Still nothing new?

The next Zion update should come out the day we play Memphis

Willie said after the last update he hopes that update is "Zion's cleared to play immediately"

Meanwhile... looks like the Knicks won't have Julius Randle when we play them on 4/7

Not sure how accurate ESPN app is. But they currently have him listed as doubtful

Lopez:

Michael Malone says Nikola Jokic is still questionable.

“If there’s any doubt, we’ll err on the side of caution with 7 games left.”

No determination on his status for tonight as of yet.
