The Giants say the City Connects will return May 14. In a statement, they said that "prioritization was given to the primary home and road uniforms" during manufacturing. 

(Someone should tell Fanatics that getting teams their home and road unis is literally the bare minimum)

FOR THE WARRIORS TO MOVE UP: 


One other big game tonight is the rematch of the Clippers' rout of Phoenix, this time in Los Angeles. The Clips are locked into a 4-5 matchup with Dallas, but another loss for Phoenix would almost certainly banish the Suns to the Play-In Tournament. Phoenix is a game behind New Orleans already and doesn't have the tiebreak.

With three difficult games remaining against the Clippers, Kings and Wolves — all on the road — Phoenix also needs to start sweating its rearview mirror. Believe it or not, Golden State's win over the Lakers last night means it’s still possible for the Suns to finish 10th (!) if the Warriors win out and the Lakers win at least once. Phoenix losing all three of these games is possible, especially if the Wolves still have a top seed to play for on Sunday.

Golden State’s win over the Lakers — aided by a record-setting 3-point hailstormfrom Steph Curry (expected) and Draymond Green and Gary Payton (unexpected) — not only paves the way for the Warriors to host the Lakers in the Play-In game if they win out, but also provides a semi-realistic pathway to move up to eighth should one of the Kings or Suns falter. The Warriors move up if they win out and either the Kings lose twice, or Phoenix or New Orleans loses three times.

Sacramento lost on Tuesday as well, and the Kings should also be hearing footsteps. With two difficult games still left against Phoenix and New Orleans – albeit both at home – it's still possible for Kings to land 10th with 46 wins. Tiebreaks against Golden State and the Lakers offer a bit of insulation. This is also a big item of interest for Atlanta fans, as the Hawks own the Kings' top-14 protected first-round pick.

New Orleans can't breathe easy either with three tough games still remaining, but last night's results couldn’t have gone better for them. There are scenarios where the Pelicans lose all three games and still get an automatic playoff spot up the sixth seed, though they probably shouldn't test that path out.







TOP SEED SCANRIOS: 


The other big story tonight in the West, where Minnesota and Denver play in a game that likely determines the conference's top seed. The Wolves have a tiebreak over the Nuggets but the teams are tied in the standings and will each be favored in their final two games. Still lurking is Oklahoma City, who could pilfer the top seed if they win out and the Nuggets beat Minnesota on Wednesday, but lose in San Antonio on Friday.

Not all is lost for Oklahoma City if Minnesota wins, as the Thunder could win out and claim the second seed in that scenario, kicking the Nuggets down to third.

Warriors beat the Lakers, clinch tiebreaker, control their own destiny for ninth seed. If they beat the Blazers, Pelicans and Jazz this week, they finish ahead of the Lakers.

Two Kings losses or three Pelicans or Suns losses this week and GSW can climb into 8th with 3-0 finish.
