Potentially big news for OKC:
Bucks are resting Giannis, Middleton, Jrue and Lopez vs the Grizzlies tomorrow.
If Memphis beat the Bucks, they will have the #2 seed wrapped up and have nothing to play for vs OKC in the season finale.
OKC has to beat Utah tonight first though. – 6:34 PM

This is why I point out that he plays bigger than he is, and I do not think he will be played off the floor in playoff situations which is huge for a Sharpshooter.
Isaiah Joe has also drawn 32 offensive fouls, ranking him 26th in the league. – 3:10 PM
