We’re not going to be able to win many without either of these guys on the floor, and we’re literally battling for 1st place. Develop when we don’t have the chance to put the other top team away.
If we can’t do this with Anthony Edwards out of the game, how will it go when we play them when everyone is healthy?
What makes this a particularly important game? Battling for 1st place in November isn’t exactly high stakes.
You’re playing someone else that will be competing for a seed spot. Not too many chances you get to hand them a loss.
These wins count the same as the ones at the end of the season. Not a difficult math equation
