I think we get 50 for sure. My over/under would be 51, depending on if we actually need to win the last game or 2 to keep a seed. I'd rather us lock the 4th seed before end of year and drop a couple of games to rest our guys.
I could be wrong, but based on the tiebreakers, I think our magic number for locking in #4 comes down to the following:
Dal - 6
NOP - 7
Unfortunately, DAL could run the table, so we may need to be playing to the end.
OK. So, I believe our magic number for locking down a playoff spot (and a #4 or #5 seed) is 1. 2 and we lock up the #4. Phoenix, Dal and NO will be interesting to watch as they jockey to make playoffs and try to pick the best 1st round match-up. Denver-Minny game will play a big role as there will be much more clarity for the #1 spot. Some teams may want to avoid any potential second round match-up in Denver.

I'm gonna be kinda bummed if we have to go through Luka again. I get it in the wcf there are no easy rounds. I wouldn't look forward to playing kd, book, and beak either. But Luka for the third time is insane.

Healthy Mavs vs Healthy LAC will be a great series. We already know Luka will go off. Now they have Kyrie who can drop 40 as well.
Playoffs today would be :
Wolves vs 8th seed
Nuggets vs 7th seed
Thunder vs Suns
Clippers vs Mavs
Warriors managed to hang on to a Play In spot. Play Ins right now include Lakers, Pels, Kings and Warriors.
Who you got to come out of the Play In?

Today's standings mean nothing. Lots of teams playing each other this week.
Wolves and Nuggets face off
Wolves also have Suns
Pelicans have Lakers,Warriors and Kings
Lakers have Warriors and Pelicans
Warriors have Lakers and Pelicans
Kings have OKC, Pelicans and Suns
Suns have Us (twice), Kings and Wolves
Mavs @Heat and @Thunder
Seedings won't be solidified until the last game is played. Nuggets vs Wolves is biggest matchup of the week as it will likely decide the #1 seed.

At the end of the year, this old team did pretty good. Not as good as the high point but not as bad as the low point either.
If it actually mattered, we could easily get 54 wins.

Warriors have been eliminated from post season play.
Lakers vs Nuggets
Suns vs Wolves
Clippers vs Mavs
Thunder vs Kings or Pelicans
Did the Clippers win the Harden trade ? will that be answered during this playoffs run?
