PHOENIX (AP) — Load management is a big topic across the NBA these days. One great way to make sure players get rest in the playoffs is to end a series early. The Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics all have that opportunity on Tuesday night when they host Game 5s with a 3-1 lead in the series. The Western Conference top-seed Nuggets already had one opportunity to end their series, but the feisty Timberwolves managed to extend it with a Game 4 win in overtime on Sunday.
