The percentages I gave were just my rough estimates. I'm sure their site has a complex algorithm to determine win percentages.

OKC has more like a 95% chance of winning Wednesday imo. I agree with Pels at 40% chance of win. So with that math OKC 57%.

This wasn't my initial thought....but after a couple mins you realize this is the answer.

You always want the opportunity to control your own destiny. Win and in.

I just dug deep into my own arse, losing a watch in the process, and determined that the Thunder have a 56.75% chance to win. The Pelicans, at home, currently have an out-the-arse likelihood of 46.25% to win. So, by the brussels sprouts and smoked chicken in my arse, that's:

69.496875% chance Pelicans make it
30.503125% chance Thunder make it

shite doesn't get more scientific than that.

2 factors have to be thrown in IMO.
The timberwolves have no reason to try to win. Their chances are probably close to 10%.
Another factor is the refs are likely to lean san antonio, bc most fans of the sport would rather see thunder-warriors.
Pels at 30% IMO

They have more reason than they did against us. There are no more ping-pong balls to be had now.

You always want to control your own destiny. Strictly as a matter of math, the Pels have more chances to make the playoffs. They get in with the following scenarios: W-W, W-L, L-L. OKC only gets in with a win and our loss.

So you have to pick the Pels as the preferred spot, simply because of the control factor.

But you have to imagine that OKC has a much better chance. They are playing a abysmal team playing for nothing while the Pels are playing a great team playing for a lot.
