And they play each other 1 more time...
RAPTOR currently has us finishing with the 8th worst record so not much has changed from earlier posts on that.
However, Celtics are now progged at the 9th best record so we'd get the 22nd pick which is pretty good.
Raptors now at 88% to make the playoffs via RAPTOR which rebounded quite a bit from just a week ago. Looking like that pick would convey at about 17.
Lakers continue to be really awful which helps us for the 2nd rounder.
Sacramento surprisingly beat Chicago pretty easily at home. Portland was up on Atlanta but choked/tanked.
It seems like the 6-8 pick range will be those three teams (POR, SAC, SAS). Indiana isn't going to win enough to be in that group. The Knicks I think will stay just above in wins. NOP has no incentive to tank, as their pick is owned by Portland.
Sacto and SAS are only two wins out of the play-in, a sign of how atrocious the West has been this year.
The Spurs have some extremely weak games coming up.

As for the later picks, Toronto is wrecking LAL, keeping them in a very good spot among the play-ins. Now that Van Vleet is back, they're solid. Right now they're pick #17.
Cleveland and Denver both won. These are the teams in most compe ion for the Boston pick. Actually, there's a big jam with teams around 26-30 losses with Boston sitting at 28 losses. The rest of their schedule looks pretty hard though. Right now they're pick #20.

Don’t let Pop know that and give him wise ideas
Where is Ivey projected to go? That’s my pick for us
Not where we pick. Have fun following the Rockets.
There’s still a good chance the Spurs get a lucky ball and get top 4 pick, if Spurs can remain at 7 worst record.
Those next 6 games will be important : OKC, Blazers, Houston, Nox2 and GS. If the Spurs don't win more than 2-3 games they will be in the 6-8 range imo.
The Blazers play the easiest remaining schedule in the league. They have 11 games left with the Spurs, OKC, Houston, Knicks, Orlando and Detroit.
Easiest and by far, they will face teams with 38.7% of winning , the Hawks who have the second easiest schedule will face teams with 46.9% of winning for example.
McCollum comes back tonight for the Pels.
Well I do live in Houston. And Green looks like a stud. I don’t think Ivey would be a good pairing with Green as they are very similar players. Green is basically a bigger stronger version of Ivey. The Rockets need shooting more than anything else if they do draft Ivey. I think Chet would be better for them though.
Basketball is more than running and scoring. We'll see if Green can translate into wins. Rockets need a structure, team iden y, and good coaching. A glue guy like Chet would help significantly.
I have no idea if Green will be a franchise player but he’s definitely an All Star in the future. He has improved so much from the beginning of the year. The game is still fast for him and his ability to control the game isn’t even close to being good yet. But you can see all the tools and potential. But more importantly, you can see he puts in the work to improve. He can beat his man off the dribble, has more confidence in his shot, and is starting to play make for others too.
That’s why I think they should draft Chet. Chet isn’t going to come in as a star. He isn’t going to demand the ball to score his points. He’s going to play in the rhythm of the game. Ivey and Green will look dynamic on paper. Chet and Green will play dynamic in a few years together.
Writing down: "Jalen Green is definitely an All-Star in the future."
If the Blazers win 1 game I would be shocked they tanking hard
They’ll beat Detroit and Orlando
Today (against OKC at home) should be the day the Spurs fall to the #8 pick, where I think they will stay... unless NYK and/or Washington manage to out-tank them or the Spurs manage to overtake the Lakers for the play-in. I think NOP will be playing hard to stay in the play-in.
So if we get the #8 worst record, what are the odds of our lottery pick being worse than 8? I’m trying to remember the rules/algorithm/sorcery that govern this stuff.
exstatic is on this kind of stuff.
Wait til he gets off lunch break.
#8 pick has 26.3% chance to jump into the top 4, 34.5% chance to stay put, and a 32.1% chance to get knocked back 1 slot. Getting knocked back multiple slots is a small chance, but we have a better shot at just pick #4, than we do to get knocked back 2 slots.
Why do you say so porkle?
Reason i ask is Orlando 5-5 last 10.
Det 4-6 altho recently had a funky 6-2 stretch before losing their last 4.
Raptors win against the Clips has them with an equal record with Cleveland for 6th in the East, they seem to be surging while the Cavs are sliding. Hopefully they can get that 6th spot and have Cleveland drop to 7th. Secure that first round pick. Spurs could then package the Boston and Raptors picks into a higher pick. I think the 19th and 22nd pick for example could get you up to 15 or 16 potentially if you find the right trade partner and they take a player for you.
