(last updated March April 15th, 2015)
Sixers pick (currently 3rd):
- Sixers lost (good): The Sixers got destroyed by the Clippers. The Sixers still have the 3rd worst record, 4 wins more than the Knicks, 2 wins more than the Wolves, and 1 win less than the Lakers with 9 left to play.
- Orlando lost (bad): Orlando lost their 3rd straight, and the Sixers are still 4 games behind 5th-slotted Orlando. With 9 games left, that should be enough.
- Knicks lost (bad): The Knicks lost. This is not news. They’re 4-16 since I started this tracker.
- Lakers lost (bad): The Lakers fell to the Raptors and still have only one more win than the Sixers.
- Minnesota lost (bad): I’m not convinced that either the Knicks or Wolves will win again this season. KG, Kevin Martin, Ricky Rubio, Shabazz Muhammad, and Nikola Pekovic all didn’t play last night.

| Sixers | 18-63 | 2.0 | 1-9 | Heat |
Lakers pick (top 5 protected, currently 4th)
- Orlando lost (good): While the Orlando loss keeps them close to the Sixers, it also keeps them “only” 3 games up on the Lakers. Orlando is now 1-9 in their last 10. If there were 25 games remaining, the Lakers might have a shot, but with only 11 games left in the Lakers season this is becoming more and more of a longshot every day.
- Lakers lost (bad): re: above. Running out of games to catch Orlando.

Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 16th):
- Charlotte lost (bad?): Charlotte lost. They now have the 9th worst record, but still only have 2 less wins than the Heat. Again, 2 of Boston, Brooklyn, Indy, and Charlotte need to win to get that pick down to the 12th area. At this point, I’ll take wins from pretty much any in that group, so the Hornets losing in double overtime was a bummer.
- Miami lost (good): At this point, I want Miami to lose, as I really want that pick to fall into the 11-12 range, not the 16 that it currently is.
- Brooklyn won (good): Same theory as Charlotte above. Brooklyn’s (surprising) win over Cleveland puts them 1.5 games behind Miami.
- Boston won (good): Again, same logic as above. Boston is now a game behind Miami.
- Utah lost (bad): Could end up being good if 3 Eastern Conference teams pass Miami, but bad if only 2 do.

Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 19th):
- Washington won (bad): Washington beating Charlotte in double overtime pulls the Wizards to within a half game of idle OKC. Washington passing OKC, who will be without Durant for the rest of the season, would be bad.
- Toronto won (bad): Toronto won, putting them 1.5 games ahead of OKC, making it more important that OKC stays in front of Washington.
- New Orleans won (good): I do not want OKC resting Westbrook, so I’m happy New Orleans won. They’re still 3 games behind OKC, but I don’t want them falling back any more.
- Phoenix lost (bad): Phoenix lost, keeping them 3.5 games behind OKC for that final playoff spot out West. Again, I’d like Phoenix to keep it close, like New Orleans, to keep the heat (but not the Heat) on OKC to keep playing Westbrook.

Tonight’s games:
- Atlanta @ Charlotte: Go Charlotte.
- Knicks @ Bulls: A Knicks win is good (if unlikely to matter) for the Sixers pick, and a Chicago loss is good for the OKC pick.
- Golden State @ Milwaukee: Go Milwaukee (don’t want Miami to pass Milwaukee).
- OKC @ Utah: Definitely need OKC to win here. A Utah loss could be either good or bad, depending on what the rest of the Eastern Conference teams around Miami do, but an OKC win is definitely good.
