    Celtics will rest at least some of their starters and take it easy.
    If it were the last game of the season there would be a better chance for that but it isn't.

    I still think a 7th seed Orlando beats them and a 9th seed bulls gets one over as well.

    The Jazz don't have any reason to tank anymore. They have already locked up a bottom 3 record.

    They cannot be rewarded for this. They shut down multiple key players every game, and have been fined for it. Lottery gods, please knock their asses back to #5.

    This is their first season ever with more than 60 losses. They were the last team that never lost 60 games.
    They never had the first pick.

    Pelicans have had their share of first picks and did nothing.
    Hornets are arguably the worst franchise in the league.
    Wizards are arguably the most irrelevant franchise in the league.
    I don't want Sixers to get bailed out.

    The Great White Hope is going to the Mormons, tbh.

    If the spurs don’t get Cooper, I really want it to go to the Wizards. Desperate to have good pro ball in my backyard.

    At least ATL lost to ORL and they have a back to back before their finale v ORL. They could lose 2 of 3 and end up at the 11 lotto seed outright or via coin flip.

    Let’s hope Brooklyn and Philly show some fight. They’re very much locked in their lottery positions, so they won’t need to tank the games against Atlanta.

    that would be nice, giving us another 8.5% chance at a top4 pick

    Thank you, Boston!

    Need Miami to pull through as their last two games are cake walks.

    ATL would need to win their last three games to stay as the 8th seed.

    chicago's last 2 games are cake wins as well. but would require ATL to lose 2 out of 3 for chicago to get past them

    hopefully miami can rally back though... miami choking against memphis and milwaukee in b2b games really ed em

    Does anyone know who would have better lotto odds between Toronto and SA, should they finish with the same record?

    Coin toss. Literally. A coin toss.

    Just like when Houston and the Spurs tied for the Wemby sweepstakes and the Rockets won the toss.

    A coin is flipped for the better odds

    With the Bulls win unless ATL chokes two of their next three games the Hawks are going to be the 8th seed.

    ORL will probably rest their starters the final game. Going to be an interesting week and play in games!

    Looking only at tiebreak scenarios for ATL, as there is decent chance that ATL will finish with the same record as one of CHI/MIA/ORL, the tie-breaker for seeding is H2H, division record, conference record.

    Those 2 ATL-ORL games most likely decide where ATL lands

    Scenario 1: ATL wins both
    Wins tiebreaker with ORL (3-1 H2H) and jumps to 7

    Scenario 2: ATL splits
    Drops tiebreaker to ORL and stays at 8 (H2H tied, ORL wins division record)
    Wins tiebreaker with CHI and stays at 8 (H2H tied, ATL wins conference record vs CHI)
    Drops tiebreaker to MIA and drops to 9 (H2H tied, MIA wins division record 11-5 vs 10-6 assuming MIA beats WAS)

    Scenario 3: ATL loses both
    Drops tiebreaker to ORL and stays at 8 (ORL wins H2H)
    Wins tiebreaker with CHI and stays at 8 (H2H tied, ATL most likely still wins conference record vs CHI as they are 3 games ahead right now)
    Drops tiebreaker to MIA and drops to 9 (H2H tied, MIA wins division record)

    So since MIA has a better chance of winning the tiebreaker if ATL drops one or both with ORL, and currently MIA/CHI are tied in the standings, we should be rooting for MIA win @CHI in their matchup this Thursday (both teams only have one other compe ive game MIAvMIL and CHI@CLE)
    CHI wins a tiebreaker for playin seeding

    playoff tiebreak from the NBA's website.

    assuming we have a 2-way tie between the Hawks and Bulls

    1) head to head record. they are 2-2, so this will not apply
    2) division winner will be ahead of a non-division winner. magic won the southeast, so this will not apply
    3) IF in the same division, divison record. they are not in the same division, so this will not apply
    4) conference record. Hawks conference record is currently 27-22 with 3 games left. Bulls are 26-24 with 2 games left.

    therefore even if bulls win out, hawks will have to drop 2 of 3 to not own this tieabreaker over the bulls. but in this scenario, bulls just have a better record anyway
