After the All-Star break, and with a highly volatile playoff picture, NBA games have become significantly more intense in March. It’s ramping up even more Wednesday night, when Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks visit Brandon Ingram and the New Orleans Pelicans. They’re five spots apart in standings at 5th and 10th, but if the Pelicans win, they’ll move to 7th and 9th, just a game-and-a-half apart.
Then in the late game, it’s the Kawhi Leonard Bowl, when the Claw’s old team, the Toronto Raptors, visit his new team, the LA Clippers.
