Not if the Warriors are healthy. |
Curry is out the first round

Is Jokic a FA after this season? He would be nice MAX for the Lakers, would he not? |

So..short of the Rockets handing us a win, we're going to be giving the Sixers the 10th overall pick.

Denver has to decide if they want him to be a RFA this summer or an UFA next summer.
Choosing the RFA path will enable them to match and retain, but it will cause their team salary to balloon a season sooner.
Choosing the UFA path keeps their team salary within reason next season, but they won' have the potential to match and retain in summer 2019. |

| Wizards are tanking for that raptors matchup but they are playing such bad and selfish ball that it won’t matter. Raptors in 4. |

Whatever the anti-sudden death match is, that's this.

It's starting to look like the winner of the Portland/Utah game tomorrow will get the number 3 seed.

| Looks like Philly will dominate the East for years to come...if they are this good with a young inexperienced Simmons, watch out. |

I saw a chart that with the Jazz winning, the Warriors avoid both them and the Thunder in the 1st round.

OKC can’t finish as the 7th seed now.
If Portland beats Utah, OKC will end up as the 4 seed and Utah the 5th.
If Utah wins, OKC will be the 6th against Utah as the 3. |

OKC isn’t going to lose to Memphis which means SAS and Utah can’t finish 4th and Portland can’t finish 5th. |

| The Bucks vs. Sixers game is highly intriguing. Of course, if Philly wins, they get the 3 seed in the East and could match up with a hobbled Boston in round 2, meaning that an East Finals trip is well within reach. However, there's an interesting angle here for the Bucks: if they win, they KEEP their first round pick. If they lose, the pick will fall within the range of the conditions of the Eric Bledsoe trade, and would thus convey to Phoenix. |
