NBA Outsiders Peter Kennedy and John-Lucas Duffy highlight the importance of every game in this NBA Season. With just a few games separating the 4 seeded Knicks from the 10th seed in the East and the 5th and 11th in the West, some teams need to show up asap. The Knicks & Hornets might be playing with house money and the Celtics may be fledgling but these teams are a bad week away from dropping out of the playoffs. The Nuggets may not be panicking yet while the Mavericks aren't feeling so hot but with teams like the Pelicans getting hot, you can never be too confident. In the shortened year with expanded playoffs, there is more meaning to every game - which teams need this final stretch to set the momentum going into All Star. @SubwaySportsTalk on IG and @SubwaySportsTlk on twitter.
