The Red Sox/Yankees is about the only Can’t Miss MLB game today, but there’s some NBA that may be worth watching.
Toronto Raptors @ Detroit Pistons (LIVE): It’s 38-34 right now, and both teams are in the playoffs, but this could be a glimpse of what the first round may look like. The Raptors currently have the six spot, and are set to face Orlando, but with Philadelphia only a half game back, this could very easily be a first round matchup for both teams. The score’s currently 38-32, Detroit.
San Antonio Spurs @ LA Lakers (3:30): This game may very well decide who’s the top of the West. The Lakers and Hornets are tied, the Spurs a half game back, and each team has three games left. Outside of being the top spot, the winner will likely face Denver/Golden State, while the loser will get Dallas in Round 1.
Houston Rockets @ Denver Nuggets (9:00): Denver will need this one. The Warriors looked dead, have won a couple, and the Nugets have slumped. Suddenly, both teams are tied for eighth again (with the Nuggets taking the tie-breaker, though), and every game for Denver is important right now.
