Well the Pelicans still probably lose 1-2 more games and we have the tiebreaker vs them. The Kings probably lose 1-2 more too. The Kings play the Pelicans so obviously 1 loss is guaranteed between the two.
I think the Lakers have the highest chance to jump us as they might run the table. But if OKC is at 3, us being at 7 might just work out (gotta win the playin though obv).
Unlike us, the Lakers and Pelicans will not have a gimme at the end of the season (since they're facing each other) , which makes a big difference imo. The suns effectively only have 3 games left, and then a game for which the Wolves will likely roll out their C squad.
Overall, we're still most likely to get the 6th spot, but the Suns didn't make things easy on themselves by dropping today's game.
