NBA Regular Season Finales: Reasons to Watch Every Game Tonight
It's the last day of the regular season, and things could change drastically throughout the night. Here's what you should watch out for.

A lot is on the line during the last day of the NBA regular season. Only half of the seeds have been determined for the playoffs, and the 8 seeds in both conferences are still up for grabs. The Clippers are sitting at home hoping the Spurs, Rockets, and Grizzlies all lose tonight as that would give them the 2 seed in the West.

So with 14 games on the docket here are some reasons you should tune into at least a part of every game tonight.

Charlotte at Toronto
Charlotte was in the playoff picture up until a couple weeks ago but have good building blocks with really complicated. No team really wins in the draft if either of them win this game -- and it's all because of a random drawing.

Indiana at Memphis
Tuning into the later matchup of these two teams could allow you to catch up on what could be the darling of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Pacers have had Paul George back for just five games, and all five have resulted in wins to put them in a position to play the Hawks in the opening round. Basically a new team with him, the Pacers won't quietly go away after clawing into the playoffs.

But Memphis won't go down quietly either. A win, plus losses by the Spurs and Rockets, makes it a three-way tie for the Southwest division, which will go to the Grizzlies thanks to conference tiebreakers. Memphis will want this win as badly as the Pacers.

Denver at Golden State
Firing Brian Shaw in favor of Melvin Hunt was probably the right move for the Nuggets because, with a win, they'd finish 11-12 under Hunt; under Shaw, the Nuggets were just 20-39 this season.

The Nuggets didn't improve a lot under Hunt, but they did turn in a better offensive performance at least. In the 23 games under Hunt, the Nuggets saw a 4.5 point Offensive Rating jump as well as 2.9% increase in Effective Field Goal percentage and 2.3% increase in True Shooting percentage. Hunt isn't assured of the coaching gig next season, but it could be worth a look for the organization based on the sample so far.

Sacramento at Los Angeles
Watch this game if you want to see a lot of offense. The Kings and Lakers field the fourth- and second-worst defenses in the league according to our algorithms, suggesting this will be a high-scoring matchup. Also watch if you don't know about Jordan Clarkson -- he's put up 20 or more points and 6 or more assists in each of the last 6 games and put up 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals just two days ago against the Kings.
