Unless playoff teams start resting their starters for the playoffs, Utah has no winnable games left, whereas TOR, PHL, & BRK "could" be competitive and winnable games for us, Utah will win the tank-off.
Actually if we lose out, we'd beat UT by 1 game. But the resulting difference in the odds would
be minimal to non-existent. It would only come into play if neither team was selected in the
lottery which is the most likely outcome for either one individually. We have perhaps a couple
of conceivably winnable games whereas UT, as you point out, doesn't appear to have any.
