The Western Conference has been an unmitigated disaster this year. On a night to night basis, it’s impossible to know who will actually suit up for their perspective team and even harder to know what the effort and energy levels will be. While that has made the games a tough watch thus far, this stretch run should be electric. The first game of tonight’s doubleheader is as close to a must win for both teams as it gets. The tiebreaker could be the difference making the postseason and finishing 11th or 12th. In the late game, the Lakers are currently on the outside looking in as they sit a half game behind the Timberwolves and Jazz.
