There's 15 games on Friday. There's 15 more on Sunday. And there's a whole lot of things left for those last 30 games of the NBA regular season to decide. Among them: 15 of the 20 postseason seeds (Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Boston, Houston and Orlando are locked into their spots), along with three of the four initial play-in tournament matchups. Of the 15 games on Friday's schedule, 12 will have at least some level of postseason implications. And it's possible that as many as 12 of the 15 games on Sunday's schedule will affect the final standings as well.

Justin Rose is in the Masters record book with his fifth time being atop the leaderboard after the opening round. That's not the objective at Augusta National. It's still a start he wouldn't trade. Rose sets out to try to build on his three-shot lead on a course ever so slightly softened by some overnight rain. The previous four times Rose had at least a share of the 18-hole lead he broke par only once. Rory McIlroy had a sloppy finish to his first round and shot 72. He also plays in the morning. Scottie Scheffler plays in the afternoon.

Justin Rose showed there's more than two players capable of winning a Masters green jacket. With all the attention on Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy he matched his personal best at Augusta National with a 65. That gives Rose a three-shot lead over Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg and Corey Conners. McIlroy took two double bogeys in the closing stretch and was seven shots behind. Rose now has led the opening round five times. That's a Masters record. But he doesn't have a green jacket to show for it. Scheffler says he was happy with a bogey-free start.

U.S. Amateur champion Jose Luis Ballester took a different kind of relief at the Masters. The 21-year-old from Spain had to use the restroom in the worst way on the par-5 13th hole at Augusta National. He wound up turning his back to the grandstand and going in Rae's Creek. Ballester figured he would be discreet. And then the gallery began to clap for him when it was over. Ballester says it was probably the loudest cheer for him all day. The Arizona State senior opened with a 76. His big mistake? He didn't notice restrooms by the tee box.
