The Jazz, Blazers, Pelicans and Lakers are currently tied for 9th in the West with the Thunder half a game behind. A Lakers win with losses by the Jazz and Thunder would be huge for us, hopefully DLo is back tonight against Memphis.

The Jazz are out of the picture surely after the trades. They'll lose in Dallas tonight. The Mavs play the Pelicans tomorrow... that's a big one.

I prefer a Jazz win vs Dallas...We need to surpass Dallas too.If the lakers play well for the rest of the year,the jazz will not be a concern for me at the end

No Giannis and Jrue, maybe Middleton?

I still have the Bucks winning.

I wonder if the Jazz are still a good matchup for us. Right after the Kyrie trade we played them and clobbered them which was our first win of the season without Luka, and Kyrie wasn't even available to play yet. I attributed that to the excitement around the team that we made that trade. Our role players really do seem to like playing the Jazz though, maybe Kidd should dial back Luka and Kyrie's minutes a bit in this one

I still prefer a stealth tank from here to get the 6th pick, but SGA and the other guys probably want to make the play in. It would be good experience, but I’d rather have the last lotto pick.

A Grizzlies loss gets the Kings into the 2 seed. But they'd have to lose to the Lakers.

Utah will be lucky to win 5 more game this year...They're all aboard the tank train.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, eh? :lol:

PHI has stopped playing any defense

Enjoy the tribulations of being good. A true Kings fan hasn't felt that in a long time

Everyone knows the Lakers are getting in. They have a big home stretch of games here. Utah will 100% fall out. Now will the Lakers be a 6-8 seed is the question

I'd say it's a good possibility. Don't the Lakers have the easiest remaining schedule?

I believe they said they have a top 5 easiest schedule. Utah has the 4th hardest schedule

What the hell is up with DLO's injury? You'd think they'd have a more clear timetable of his return but every game they saw he's supposed to be play, he's listed a questionable and then eventually out.

Who wins?
