Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 16th):
- Pacers lost (bad) / Bucks won (good): I would have preferred this to go the other way. Finding 2 of Charlotte, Indy, and Boston to pass Miami is starting to become difficult. Indy is now 2.5 games behind Miami, and the Bucks 2.5 games up on Miami in 17th.

Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 19th):
- I’ve added Phoenix to the list of teams to track, as they are now closer to the 8th playoff spot in the West than New Orleans is.
- No change here, as all of OKC, Phoenix, New Orleans, Washington, Chicago, and Toronto had the night off.

Tonight’s games:
- Clippers @ Sixers: The Clippers have won 5 in a row and, despite being on the road, should be able to take care of the Sixers.
- Pistons @ Magic: Still not letting go of the dream of the Lakers passing Orlando. Go Pistons!
- Hornets @ Wizards: With how much the Pacers are struggling, I think I’m back to rooting for the Hornets. Optionality and all.
- Heat @ Hawks: At this point, with 2 teams needing to pass the Heat, we need Miami losses.
- Celtics @ Knicks: It pains me to say this, but the Sixers aren’t catching the Knicks. The Celtics, however, could catch Miami. Go Celtics.
- Cleveland @ Brooklyn: Again, with how much the Pacers are struggling, and how much of a longshot making up 2.5+ games with ~10 games remaining is, I might just root for Brooklyn, just to give more options for teams that can pass Miami. Pretty much any team (besides maybe Boston and Utah) passing Miami would be a minor miracle. The Sixers need one of Indiana, Brooklyn, or Charlotte to do so.
- Lakers @ Raptors: A Lakers win moves them closer to Orlando, and also keeps Toronto close to OKC as a backup plan to OKC staying in front of the Wizards.
- Kings @ New Orleans: We want one of New Orleans or Phoenix to stay close to OKC so OKC continues to try / play Westbrook. Go New Orleans, I guess.
- Minnesota @ Houston: Go Minnesota.
- Utah @ Denver: Want teams that can pass Miami to start winning. Go Utah.
- Portland @ Phoenix: Again, I want a team to stay close with OKC, so I’m hoping Phoenix pulls out a win here.
