Will Phx and SAS be in "rest" mode the final 3 reg season games?
Inquiring minds like Sactown, Hou, Denver and Mem may want to know.
5 Sac 46-30
6 Hou 44-31
7 Den 43-31
8 Mem 42-32
It may well come down to whether or not Phx needs to win to keep ahead of The Heat. Last 3 reg season games Phx plays Sac-Denver-Sac. If Phx is in "rest mode" or not will be huge. Ditto SAS, who Memphis playes 2 of the last 3 games. Otherwise Sac has by far the most pattycake schedule.
Sac:
Portland
LA Lakers
at LA Lakers
at Phoenix
Utah
Phoenix
Ditto the East. Lot of movement could happen there also for seeds 4-8.
The Heat are on crack if they don't rest Shraq and DWade IMO.
Rest can be sit out some games and/or limit minutes.
