Nightly questionable decisions on their way for tonight’s Prize Picks partnership. Murray is filling up the stat sheet. Banking on Sabonis playing limited minutes. I like the OKC projections.

#Kings can clinch Pacific Division with win today over Spurs or loss by Phoenix at OKC.
That’d end #Suns chances for 3rd seed in West.
Phoenix needs 3 wins to clinch top 6 playoff bid.
If playoffs started today, Suns-#Warriors.
