Wednesday’s busy NBA schedule featured a dozen games, with all 12 contests carrying some kind of implication in the race for playoff or play-in spots. Mid-March is often when avid fans ramp up how much time they spend watching League Pass every evening. The same is true for some NBA players.
“I watched the Lakers play last night,” New Orleans guard CJ McCollum said after Thursday’s practice, when asked how closely he’s monitoring his team’s postseason race. “I watch a lot of games on League Pass, as a fan of the sport obviously.”
Including the ninth-place Lakers (29-40), a handful of Western Conference teams’ results affect 28-41 New Orleans’ position in the standings.
