NBA Game With Incentive To Lose

The loser of tonight's game between the 76'ers and Heat will get a lottery pick in the upcoming draft. This could be an all time ugly game as players and coaches try not to win.

I'm pretty sure that both of those teams will be in the lottery no matter the outcome of that game.

The Sixers have the rights to Miami’s first-round pick (via Cleveland, by a convoluted route that includes the 2010 LeBron James sign-and-trade and the 2014 three-team Kevin Love trade), but it is top-10 protected, meaning the Heat keep it if it falls within the first 10 picks. Miami currently has the 10th-worst record in the NBA. You see the drama. There are two scenarios in play: If the Heat lose to the Sixers tonight, they all but guarantee that they’ll get to keep their draft pick. If the Sixers lose to the Heat, and the Nets beat lose to the Magic, the Heat would slip into a tie for the 10th-worst record. It’d come down to a literal coinflip, giving the Sixers a 50-percent chance of landing Miami’s draft pick at No. 11 overall, pretty much the best case scenario for Philly in what’s expected to be a strong draft.

Philly is a top 3 lottery team regardless.
If Miami loses, that ensures they are the 10th worst team. If they win, they are 11th.
they get to pick their 1st round pick if and only if it's top 10. If it's 11th it goes to Philly.
So the loser gets the pick, 10th or 11th.

That sounds like a job for Tyrone Corbin.

How awesome would it be if they just start scoring on their own baskets? It's tougher than you think because it'd basically be an 8 second shot clock to score. God I hope they do that.

Does Vegas even have lines on these games?
