Both of these teams are trying to find some level of consistency from everyone not named Jalen Brunson or Domantas Sabonis. The Knicks sit fifth in the East and would like to stay there or move up to fourth for a likely first-round series against the Orlando Magic. While Sacramento sits eighth in the tightly-packed West but is just a half-game behind the fifth-seeded Mavericks. The Kings navigate a late-season, four-game road trip that will have them on the road through next Tuesday. Their biggest game is probably a week from Friday at home against Phoenix, while the Knicks have the toughest remaining schedule of any Eastern Conference playoff team.

Kings vs. Knicks Injury Report

New York is without Julius Randle (who is now ruled out for the season with a dislocated shoulder), as well as O.G Anonuby (right elbow), center Mitchell Robinson (ankle soreness) and swingman Josh Hart (sprained right wrist) are listed as questionable. That is a lot of injured soldiers. Sacramento is listing Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (sprained right knee) as out.

The Hawks overcame Flynn’s unlikely 50 by getting a triple-double of 28 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists from Jalen Johnson, who may just sneak into the Most Improved Player race as a longshot late-bloomer. (Right now, Tyrese Maxey is a prohibitive favorite for that award). D’Andre Hunter added 26 points on 11-for-16 shooting. Dallas has been getting otherworldly things from Doncic (47 points Sunday at Houston, followed by a triple-double against Golden State), and at some point they are going to need Kyrie Irving to become Mr. Clutch. He has it in him but has not shown it much this year. Dallas is favored by 12 ½.

Hawks vs. Mavericks Injury Report

The Mavericks are listing rookie center Derek Lively as out with a right knee sprain. The Hawks are not reporting any injuries to their regulars.

The game of the night in terms of one team absolutely and completely needing to win to have any chance to crash the play-in tournament. That team is the Rockets, who strung together 11 consecutive wins before losing their most recent two against Dallas and Minnesota. The Rockets, who are 2 1/2-point ‘dogs, are three games behind Golden State and cannot win a tiebreaker, and a loss tonight would seal a non-play-in fate. So expect them to be stoked. Golden State has been getting good things from Draymond Green and is coming in off a season-high five game win streak (accomplished four times).

Warriors vs. Rockets Injury Report

Forward Jonathan Kuminga of Golden State is questionable with knee tendinitis, while Houston’s Alperen Sengun is out with a sprained right ankle. No other regulars are sidelined.

The defending NBA champions begin the night tied for first place in the Western Conference with Minnesota and are trying to secure homecourt advantage throughout the postseason. They have won six of their last eight, but all six victories came against low-quality opponents while the losses came against Minnesota and Phoenix. The Clippers were the popular championship pick a month ago but since then have gone 6-7 with the latest loss coming against Sacramento in which Russell Westbrook (gasp!) was their leading scorer for the first time all season. The visiting Nuggets are 3 ½-point favorites.

Nuggets vs. Clippers Injury Report

Denver starters Aaron Gordon (foot) and Nikola Jokic (Hip) are probable, and starting point guard Jamal Murray is questionable with right knee inflammation. Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is out with knee soreness.
