    The Clippers have the 3rd best record:

    Spurs 60-18
    Thunder 56-21
    Clippers 55-23
    Heat 53-24
    Pacers 53-25
    Rockets 52-25

    The Clippers have 4 games left and their magic number to guarantee a top 5 record is currently 3 (although even 2 wins would clinch at worst a random draw for draft position).

    Nothing has changed because none of the teams who really matter for this played tonight. To determine the Clippers' magic number to stay in the top 5 you take the total number of games in the season (82), add 1, subtract the Clippers' wins (55) and subtract the sixth place teams' (currently the Rockets) losses (26).

    82+1-55-26=2

    The Clippers and the Rockets didn't play, so the magic number is unaffected.

    I guess there was a bit of news on this front. If the Rockets are really trying to stay in the 4th and avoid the 3rd spot like Harden implied, that would seem to help the chances of the Clippers staying in the top 5 and the Spurs receiving their pick.

    The Clippers have the 3rd best record:

    Spurs 62-18
    Thunder 58-21
    Clippers 55-24
    Heat 54-25
    Pacers 54-26

    Rockets 52-27

    The Clippers have 3 games left and their magic number to guarantee a top 5 record is currently 1 (although they have already clinched at worst a tie for 5th best record, which would necessitate a random draw for draft position).

    We got this. Amazing how our front office can score an extra draft pick by giving up someone as insignificant as Curtis Jerrells.

    But I thought the front office was terrible because they can't just magically pull a Ginobili out of their ass every year?

    You mean what changed in the 21 minutes between ABC's post and yours? Probably nothing.

    Yes. Clippers won tonight so they clinched a top-5 record.

    If the Mavs finish in the top 10, OKC gets their first round pick.
    Not sure about tie-breakers, but Mavs are at 9 right now, ahead of Chicago and Memphis by two wins and zero losses( so 1 game). Dallas would have to lose to memphis and depending on tie breakers chicago and memphis would have to win out or lose 1( or 1 of those and toronto win out maybe) for okc to not get the pick.

    No worries. It fell out of the first few pages like a rock.

    For others looking, the Spurs did obtain the Clippers' second round pick. Here is info. about it:
