About Last Night

Mavs sit key players, miss playoffs
The Mavericks left out Kyrie Irving and 4 other players and pulled Luka Doncic early in the second quarter in a 115-112 home loss to the Bulls that ended their playoff chances. The Grizzlies wrapped up the #2 seed in the West with a 137-114 win over the Bucks, while the Nets beat the Magic 101-84 to secure the #6 seed in the East.

No runs is good news
Pickswise MLB expert Keith Schmelter had a fun Friday, cashing both his NRFI best bets with scoreless first frames in the Marlins-Mets and Royals-Giants games, and going 2-1 in his MLB Best Bets article. The Rays stayed perfect at 7-0 with a 9-5 win over the Athletics.
