Small things to look out for:
- Need Milwaukee to win this easy part of the schedule to have nothing to play for at the end.
- Prob should be cheering for Houston losses and Warriors winning. They're in a tough stretch and also play the Warriors head to head. If they lose these next 3-4 games and also that H2H, by the time they play us they may have way less to play for. Anything to give us an edge in getting extra wins is good.
- Embiid may return soon. Which may make our Sixers game tough but they will have to decide if they want to play him that late. But it's interesting because he may play against Miami which turns an easier Miami game into a harder one for them.
- Knocks actually have a hard schedule so we need them to keep losing, EXCEPT to the Heat.
- Bulls/Hawks both having something to play for is important too.. Knicks have 3 games against the Bulls. Makes our game tough against Chicago but it's at home.
- Cavs will be hard to catch, they have 3 almost for sure wins (Jazz, Memphis, Charlotte) which will give them 48 wins, Would require us going 5-3 and them losing all the other games.
- We just need to get to 47-48. Portland and Charlotte gets us to 45.. I'd be VERY surprised if Milwaukee plays guys the last game so that would be 46 of games we "should" win. That means out of Chicago, @Houston, @PHI, @MIL (B2B for each), @ NOP we need 1-2 wins.
