re: Next 11 games

Look at the last 15 games though. Pels should be favored in all of those except the 76ers and even that one will be at the blender, so it’ll probably be a pick em. Those games are the reason the Pels have the best chance to make the playoffs (46%) ahead of Portland (30% and 2 games up on the Pels now) and Grizzlies (12% and 3.5 games up), according to FiveThirtyEight.

Also Pels only have 5 back to backs left on the schedule so Zion should play in most of the remaining games and only one of those back to backs are in the final 15 games.

I think the closer we can get to that 8 seed by those final 15 games, the better chance we get the playoffs. If we can be even with the 8 seed at that point, we are pretty much a lock to make the playoffs, so that’s what I’ll be rooting for.
