Pelicans and Spurs locked for play-in. Not loving the Blazers chances to get the Pelicans pick... but who knows I guess.

Pelicans however would need to beat the Clippers/Minnesota loser on their home court to advance to
a first round matchup with the #1 seed Suns. If its the Clippers, that matchup would feature Powell/Roco
vs CJ. I'd take the Clippers in that matchup with Paul George's return to the Clippers

We're definitely favourites to get the Pelicans' pick.

If they're a 70% chance of beating the Spurs, and only a 40% chance of beating the losers of LAC/TWolves, then that gives them a 72% chance of missing the playoffs.

Subtracting their 7% chance of getting a Top 4 pick, and that leaves the odds at ~65% of Portland getting their pick.

Yeah, I think we have a good shot of getting the Pelicans pick even with them being in the play-in.

Just two more games left in this painful season.

I am looking forward to seeing a potential play in match up between the Clippers/Pelicans. Imagine
that game if Kawhi Leonard and Zion play?

Well this tank race is pretty much secured now if Blazers win their remaining two games and the Kings lose every remaining game we are tied for the 6th worst record.

If the Pacers win out and we lose out we are tied with them for the 5th worst record, I would say the Blazers have a 75-85% chance at securing the 6th worst record very soon.
