There are six games on tap for Wednesday as we grind through the final days of the regular season. The Eastern Conference is almost set in terms of who has locked up a playoff spot, with the Pistons clinging to faint hopes for the final spot over the Bucks. Seeding is still up for grabs and there’s a crucial game between the Celtics and Raptors tonight that impacts that number one seed. In the Western Conference, things are a bit more jumbled, with seven teams still vying for the final five spots. Things always change throughout the day in the NBA in terms of injury or rest news, but that is amplified many times as we get this close to the end of the season. Be sure to check the news as the day unfolds as these suggestions could be altered significantly.
Looking at the rest situation, the Mavericks, Magic, Sixers, Hawks, Spurs, and Lakers are all playing their third game in four nights, with tonight also being a back-to-back set. The Heat, Celtics, and Raptors all played last night as well. The remaining three teams are all coming off of two days’ worth of rest. Let’s take a look at a tournament lineup for FanDuel.

Dejounte Murray (SA): $6,600 @ LAL
The Spurs are fighting to remain in the thick of the Western Conference playoffs, so it should be all hands on deck tonight against the Lakers. This is an elite individual matchup for Murray as well as a boost in terms of pace. The key to Murray’s value lies in his ability to score as he typically provides plenty of counting statistics. I like his chances to do a little bit of everything in a prime matchup against the Lakers.
