Clippers Griffin opts for more rest
Los Angeles Clippers All-Star forward Blake Griffin did not play Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves and is likely to remain idle all week to rest his ailing back for the playoffs.
Griffin was hurt in Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He felt back spasms strong enough that he removed himself from the game. He had been dealing with back spasms for 10 days.
Griffin decided to rest again Tuesday, when the Clippers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night and is leaning toward sitting Wednesday night.
Hibbert says Pacers "don't deserve" the No.1 seed
The Indiana Pacers held first in the Eastern Conference all season long, but a loss to the Spurs Tuesday dropped them to No.2. The Miami Heat, who have been nipping at the Pacers heals all season have taken over the No.1 slot.
Pacers Roy Hibbert told reporters "Good for them. We don't deserve it."
Indiana is 12-11 since the all-star break and have dropped six of their last eight straight-up. They've also failed to break 90 points in seven of those eight games. The Pacers have gone Under in 11 of their past 12 games because of this offensive deficiency and have only covered once in that same span.
Bucks barely cover with meaningless basket in last seconds
The Detroit Pistons already put the final nail in the Milwaukee Bucks' coffin Monday, but that didn't stop the Bucks from hurting bettors.
Down 109-116 with only 7.3 seconds left on the clock, Jeff Middleton drained a meaningless hook shot down low for the Bucks. This bucket did not change the fortune for the players, but for bettors it meant the the Bucks covered by 1.5-points.
The Bucks now covered for of their past five on the road and have increased their record against the spread to 19-18 away from Milwaukee. The Pistons on the other hand have failed to cover in their last four at home and continue to be terrible for bettors at home with an ATS record of 15-24 at home.
