again for making us number one. What are we doing? Well, I think you know what we're doing. We're

previewing the games on Friday. So let's get in and take a look at those games. We had a bunch of games rescheduled. I talked about those earlier on the Mailbag show earlier today. So you can go check that out. But just look at your updated schedule grid over on Basketball Monster as well and all those games that have been rescheduled i think there was five of them um you'll see how that

applies to fantasy playoffs and things like that okay these games this is uh yeah a relatively

busy day there still stream value on a nine game day our games start at 7 p m eastern with the Lakers and the Wizards. 7.30pm we've got four games on. Raptors Magic,

Kings Celtics, Grizzlies, palicans and Blazers Knicks. And then we have got, for some

reason, a gigantic gap. 9pm.m. Eastern, the next games.

6 p.m. Central? No, 6 p.m. Pacific.

Cleveland and the Suns.

Clippers and the Nuggets.

And then at 6.30 p.m. Pacific.

Is that right? Yeah, 6.30 p.m. Pacific. Nets, Jazz, and the final game, 7pm Pacific,

Pistons Warriors. So, we have gap in the middle, and some late games as well. Nine games on in

total. So, let's take a look. First game, Lakers Wizards. This is a back-to-back for Washington. Chris Middleton is playing on Thursday. Pretty sure he won't play in this game. I don't expect that Tristan Vukchevich or Marvin Bagley are available, and the one we're going to have to watch is Alex Saar, because if he is out, they're going to have to go Anthony Gill again. I don't know whether Saar is even available yet for the game on Thursday. No, he's still currently questionable. On the Lakers side of things, I think there is a chance that Austin Reeves returns. If it's not this game, it'll be the game on Sunday. So just be aware of that. He'll be relatively limited. But I think that could lead to a whole shake-up of their lineup. Does Marcus Smart and Jake Laravia then move to the bench? Does that mean the impizu moves back to the starting lineup? MP2. Does Reeves even start first game back? We're going to see some sort of maneuvering of those players, I think. I'm also going to put Bilal-Kulab-Baliyas question. We've been dealing with multiple injuries and a back problem recently.

So I think that there is a chance that he does not play on the back-to-back. So, again, we just need to watch for that. Raptors and The Magic. We do have the news here that, oh, we've just got an update here on Aaron Gordon, re-evaluated in four to six weeks
