Thursday night features a tame looking five-game NBA slate. It includes three games with teams favored by about double-digit points so beware of minutes getting cut short for players on the Cavs and Warriors. The Timberwolves are also big favorites but they don’t cut their player’s minutes, like, ever.
The grid below is a snapshot of today’s slate that shows the overall rating for each position for each team. The numbers highlighted in red are the positions that are in the top 25% of their position for the slate and indicate good plays. Meanwhile, the numbers highlighted in blue are the positions that are in the bottom 25% of their respective position for the slate and are positions to avoid.
