Sixers pick (currently 2nd):
- Knicks won (good) / Lakers lost (bad): The Knicks win does pull the Sixers to within 1 game of the Knicks for the most ping pong balls. I just don’t have much confidence in the Knicks winning more games than the Sixers down the stretch. The Lakers loss keeps them at 3 more wins than the Sixers and in the 4th spot.

Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 12th):
- Indiana won (good): Indy beat Milwaukee, which was good for both the Heat pick and the OKC pick. Indy has now won 7 in a row and is a full game up on Miami, and in the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
- Utah won (good): Utah dominated the Dwight Howard-less Rockets, with Rudy Gobert putting up a monster line (19 points, 22 rebounds, 4 blocks). Utah is now 8-2 in their last 10, on a 4 game winning streak, and a safe bet to pass Miami down the stretch.

Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 19th):
- Milwaukee lost (good): Milwaukee lost. They still have a worse record than the Thunder, and, as long as OKC passes New Orleans, I don’t see them being too much of a concern. If OKC doesn’t pass New Orleans, it doesn’t matter.
- Washington won (bad): Washington beat the Grizzlies. This puts Washington 1.5 games (and 2 wins) up on OKC. Washington has now won 2 in a row, and them turning their fortunes around would be bad for the Sixers.

Tonight’s games:
- Sacramento @ Sixers: The Kings are 5 wins up on the Lakers in the 6th slot, but the Knicks/Sixers/Wolves are too close. A Sixers loss would be better here.
- Bulls @ Hornets: A Bulls loss keeps them as a backup plan to OKC catching Washington, but the Heat falling into the top-10 is a bigger concern of mine. Go Charlotte.
- Orlando @ Boston: An Orlando win hurts the Lakers chances of falling out of the top 5, but a Boston loss could impact the Sixers ability to get the Heat pick. One of these teams have to win 😦
- Miami @ Toronto: Miami’s in this weird spot where you want them to lose, but not too much. Still, with how well Indy and Utah are playing, I don’t think you have to worry about Miami winning too much.
- Minnesota @ OKC: Another lose-lose. Minnesota wins are good for the Sixers pick, but OKC losses are bad for the OKC pick, and I’m starting to become worried about OKC passing both New Orleans and Washington.
- Golden State @ Denver: Lakers aren’t catching Denver, but hope for a Denver loss, I guess.
