Rajon Rondo Assists Pelicans

Lesson for Draymond Green; be careful how you go face to face with an opponent as it can backfire badly.

NBA 2018 Playoff Race

The NBA Playoffs are certainly closer in 2018 than they have been for a while. I particularly liked the Jazz bouncing back to tie the series 1-1 with the Rockets. The Rockets would still be favorites but the Jazz have got some fight in them that's for sure.

Over in the East, the Raptors and the Cavaliers are also in a tight race.
