After tonight the last 7 games are against playoff or play-in teams, 6 of them from the West.
At Trailblazers- out
At Warriors - currently 6th
At Nuggets 1st seed
Clippers- currently 5th
Kings - currently 3rd
Grizzlies- currently second
Knicks - currently 3rd
At Timberwolves - currently 7th
Need to go 2-1 over the next 3. 4 game home stretch is brutal but seeds for Grizzlies, Kings, and Knicks might be set by then so they could be resting players.
Must win games against Warriors, T-Wolves and Clips.
5-3 will get into play in.

Assuming we win tonight (!) we will be 38-37. Banking on Lukaless Dallas losing in Indy on 2nd of B2B making them 36-40.
We could probably go 2-5 to be 40-42 and still be ok…3-4 would all but guarantee.
Mavs have to plays 76ers, heat and hawks on the road… kings at home. Bulls then spurs.
They’d need to win 4 of those 6
Jazz have the lakers twice (so either result benefits us), OKC (same) suns, Celtics, nuggets… but also have spurs. Again.. they’d need to win 4 or 5 to catch up.
We’re only in the shite if we go 1-6 or something appalling. Which unfortunately is entirely possible…gotta win tonight and win a couple of those home games.
Should be getting Zion back too…

5-3 will guarantee 6 seed IMO. 4-4 will be (7-8 seed). 3-5 will be (9-10 seed)

Memphis and Sac could have their seeding locked up by the time we play them so hopefully they sit some guys

We simply cannot "punt" any games. Our playoffs began against the Clippers.

I feel better about it since the Pels have gotten more guys healthy and Trey picked a great time to go on a hot shooting streak.
Tough part is the Pels are still very reliant on a few guys to maintain spacing, and without Zion available Willie is putting Herb in a tough spot against teams with a real PF, but it looks better than I had feared. Margin for error is razor thin though and the Pels may not be favored much down the stretch.

The Kings have a pretty easy schedule coming up so they possibly could stay in it with the Grizzlies. The Knicks might be sitting guys though.

Everyone should become the biggest bulls fans this week. They beat the lakers yesterday and they play the clips and lakers this week. A bulls sweep would do wonders for us.

Blazers are shutting down Lillard and packing it in for the season so tonight is a must win. Spread has blown up to Pels -11

Yep, looks like they are sitting everyone again, Lillard, Nurkic, Simons, Grant, even Watford.
They can easily stay in 5th worst record. There's 3 other teams vying for it, so i'd imagine they'd much rather have the 5th best odds than the 8th.

Blow them out early. Sit the starters the 2nd half so they can rest for the warriors tomorrow. crazy that we have 2 b2bs in the final 8 games of the season
