Sixers pick (currently 3rd):
- Sixers lost (good): With how much the Knicks and Wolves are struggling, and how easy the Sixers upcoming schedule is, any loss (especially against a bad team) is good for the Sixers positioning.
- Knicks lost (bad): Knicks got crushed by Golden State, keeping them at 13 wins, 2 less than the Sixers.

Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 11th):
- Nets won (bad): The Nets shouldn’t be a factor down the stretch, but their win keeps them at the 9th slot and 3 wins behind Miami.
- Boston won (bad) / Pacers lost (bad): Boston continues their surge, this time beating the red-hot Pacers in Indy. Boston is now tied with Miami and Utah for the 10th-12th spots.
- Utah won (bad): Utah also beat the Pistons, who have lost 10 in a row. Utah is 8-2 in their last 10 and also tied with Miami. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that Utah passes Miami. Really need one of Charlotte (one less loss than Miami) or Boston to stumble to get that pick, most likely Charlotte.

Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 14th):
- Milwaukee lost (good): Milwaukee shouldn’t be a factor, but they are 17th, so losses help.
- Washington won (bad): Washington had a huge comeback against Sacramento in a game which featured a 38 point swing. Washington is now 2 wins up on OKC.

Tonight’s games:
- Chicago @ OKC: An OKC win is critical, as it would pull them a half-game closer to Washington, and would pull them to within 3 of Chicago.
- Denver @ New Orleans: Need the Pelicans to lose to get the Thunder into the playoffs.
- Cleveland @ Orlando: Orlando losses keep the hope of the Lakers falling to #5 alive.
- Minnesota @ San Antonio: The Wolves have a win less than the Sixers and have the 2nd worst record in the league. Go Minnesota.
- Portland @ Toronto: Toronto losses help keep a backup plan open in case the Wizards (who are suddenly playing good defense) finish better than the Thunder.
- Knicks @ Phoenix: The Knicks have 2 less wins than the Sixers. Go Knicks.
- Hawks @ Lakers: Need the Lakers to win not only to give them a chance to catch Orlando (4 more wins), but also to stay away from the Sixers (Lakers have 2 more wins than the Sixers).
