NBA Games Tonight with Playoff Implications:
What happened yesterday?
In the East, the Philadelphia 76ers lost their chance at home court advantage in the first round with a loss to the Chicago Bulls. In the West, the Houston Rockets shut the door on the possibility of being the 8 seed with a win over the Sacramento Kings.

Blazers vs Lakers, it’s gonna be a ridiculous game!
Your “games with playoff implications” list… seriously, is that every single game tonight? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a playoff race so tight. It’s even closer than last year, at least in the West. Heck, even the East is pretty close (well… if you put a huge gap between the top 3 and the bottom six).
Yeah, it’s almost every single game. It’s crazy considering that Houston could have finished as high as 2nd or as low as 8th with only a week left in the season.
