Late games have some relevance, although not the one being broadcast nationally (Jazz/Clips).
Kings vs. Blazers: obviously a Sacramento win slightly improves our lottery odds. But also because the Denver 2nd round pick we're owed could be affected by a Portland win. It's worth noting that Portland appears to be starting 3rd stringers, presumably to ensure a 4/5 matchup with Utah instead of a 3/6 with OKC.
Nuggets vs. Wolves: Nuggets render any of the above null with a win tonight, and they do appear to be going for it with their starters vs. a KAT-less Minnesota team. But a loss, coupled with a Portland win would create a 3-way tie with the idle Rockets.
This scenario would mean picks 55-57 would be decided by random draw. If Denver ends up at 55, we'd get that pick; if they get 56 or 57 we'd get Washington's 36th pick.
