“I’m telling him, we need the Wizards Beal. I’m reminding him. He has to play a role on this team and he has to take a backseat, but just reminding him you’re one of the best basketball players in the world.”

Added a couple of columns to the West Playoff Snapshot.
For the Nuggets, a win tonight guarantees a Top 3 seed, but they have to win out if they want top 2.
(Winning out guarantees them top 1 anyway because MIN would be handed a loss tomorrow)
Nuggets remaining games:
