Obviously I'm not rushing OG or Mitch back for tonight, but OG has now had a week to rest the elbow (that apparently is clear from the MRI and already surgically repaired). I'd expect to see him back this week. We go Toronto on Wednesday so does he want to make an appearance back at his old stomping grounds?

Mitch they mentioned needed to get a week or so of contact practice before he would come back. I'd love to see him play 10 games before the playoffs to get acclimated.

This means Bogey will put 30. Not sure why but I’m going to guess that total.

This "softer" set of games this week - tonight, Raptors, Spurs are still must wins for us. We can make a significant impact on playoff positioning by winning so its crucial not to drop these games.

Magic-Pacers-Heat-Sixers - one of these will be our first round opponent. Pacers playing the worst right now. Sixers you have to be wary of if they get Embiid back. I actually would love to avenge the loss against the Heat - and you know what, someone has to beat these guys.

I can imagine, both Knicks AND Orlando passing the Cavs, Orlando getting 3rd, Knicks 4th and playing the Cavs 5th with Knicks home court in the first round. At this point, that's a pretty good result. I'd rather play the Cavs than Indiana in the first round.

With the way injuries are going down who knows who gets healthy and can maintain it and the good synergy.
Cav's only missing Strus and Wade. Jimmy is back but Herro ad Love out.
Philly rolls into Clippers and beats them last night!

way too many questions with teams.
Does embiid return and in good form?
Does Randles shoulder allow him to be his best self and will it hold up?
Does a rested DM tear it up and Clev is back to its good self again?
Indy has talent, does it finally click at the next level for them?
Is Orlando really this good?
OG elbow? once back, can he stay back? Mitch Robs foot and his timing?
Miami go into Zombie mode and just start winning at any moment?

Not sure. He's . 1 points per game behind that has-been Durant. I expect better.
