1) It comes down to this. New Orleans (44-37) will play the most significant regular season game on paper in its 13-year history tonight, with a win guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs. The Pelicans host the Spurs at 7 p.m. The only other way NOLA can get in the postseason (for the first time since 2011) is if the Thunder (44-37) lose to the Timberwolves in Minnesota. That game is also at 7.
