Tonight’s games:

  • Toronto @ Orlando: It’s not mathematically impossible for OKC to catch Toronto (4 wins back, 4 remaining), and Orlando is now no longer in play, so go Orlando (but it’s unlikely to matter).
  • Charlotte @ Atlanta: It’s imperative that Charlotte finish with a worse record than Miami, so go Atlanta.
  • Boston @ Cleveland: The Sixers need Miami to pass one of Indy (0.5 up on Miami) / Utah(1.5) / Boston (1.5) / Brooklyn (1.5) , and this is a prime opportunity to pick up a half a game on one of them.
  • Indiana @ Detroit: Crucial, crucial game. Detroit’s not playing horrible basketball (6-4 in their last 10), but Indy has been playing much better of late now that PG is back. An unexpected loss by Indy would be huge.
  • Washington @ Brooklyn: Ugh. A Washington and OKC loss (at home against Sacramento) would make it impossible for the Sixers to get the OKC pick this season, but a Brooklyn loss would really help the Miami pick (Brooklyn has the Bucks, Bulls, and Magic after this). I might hope Washington wins here: The Miami pick being at 11 is a greater concern for me, and the OKC pick is a huge longshot even with a Washington loss. This is a real opportunity to get a real good pick.
  • Milwaukee @ New York: Go New York.
  • Phoenix @ New Orleans: New Orleans is tied with OKC for the last playoff spot out West, so go Phoenix.
  • Sacramento @ OKC: Crucial game. An OKC loss could officially end the Sixers hopes of getting the pick this season.
  • Memphis @ Utah: Utah (1.5 games up on Miami) has a tough schedule down the stretch (Grizzlies, Blazers, Mavs, Rockets), so that, combined with Indy’s better play of late, might make them the best chance of being passed by Miami. Go Memphis.
  • Wolves @ Lakers: The Lakers have 2 more wins than the Sixers, and the Sixers only have 3 games left to play. How much confidence do you have in the Sixers going no better than 1-2? If you have confidence in the Sixers not winning 2 games (@Bulls, Bucks, Heat), then go Wolves. The Bucks and Heat games could make me a little bit nervous, but I’m a gambling man and would love to catch Minnesota. Go Wolves.
