With the postseason officially around the corner and teams jockeying for position, it's time for another edition of the NBA mailbag.
Throughout the NBA season, I will be answering your questions about the latest, most interesting topics in basketball. You can tweet me directly at @kpelton, tweet your questions using the hashtag #peltonmailbag or email them to peltonmailbag@gmail.com.
This week's edition of the NBA mailbag includes:
The significance of limited minutes for the Brooklyn Nets' big three
Is Trae Young a better shooter from deeper?
What's the meaning of the Blazers generating few easy looks?
Are there fewer OT games?
"How concerned should we be about the Nets' three stars playing so few minutes together before the playoffs?"
