Clippers play Cleveland and Phoenix twice in a 4 day stretch.
Yeah, if somehow the spilraling Cavs pull off a win in LA, and Suns beat the Pelicans, Suns can overtake the Clippers in the standing if they beat them in the 2 H2H matchups, Mavs go 2-1 in the next 3, then the standings will be 3-way tie between the 3 teams.
I just did the math. In the case of that 3 way tie scenario the standings wouldn’t change.
Clippers and Suns would split the season series and have the same division record(clippers have to beat the Jazz), but the clippers have the better conference record. So therefore Clippers would be the division winner, and Dallas is a division winner. So therefore, Clippers would be 4th because they have the tiebreaker against Dallas, Dallas 5th, Phoenix 6th.
Or the clippers could just lose out and Dallas could win out and we could be 4th .
