Meanwhile, Wizards star Bradley Beal has commented that his left hamstring injury “won’t heal in a week” but plans to play in tonight’s Play In game. Wizards point guard Raul Neto is dealing with his own hamstring injury but has been upgraded to probable after being a ‘game time’ call prior.
The winner of the Pacers/Hornets game will face the loser of the Wizards/Celtics matchup for the 8th seed in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the winner of the Wizards/Celtics matchup will officially earn the 7th seed.
Tomorrow, LeBron James’ Los Angeles Warriors will face the Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors for the 7th seed in the West.
