    If winning percentage is the #1 tie-breaker, San Antonio is in a bad spot.

    If Portland goes 1-1 down the stretch, it can only miss the playoffs if Memphis wins at least once and either Phoenix or San Antonio wins twice.

    Blazers can grab #8 heading into the play-in round by winning twice with Memphis losing once, or going 1-1 with Memphis losing twice and the Suns and Spurs each losing at least once.

    Giannis just straight up headbutted a dude and will probably be suspended for the Memphis game. Hopefully we win against the Nets and the Grizz beat the Bucks.

    Assuming we win:

    MEM, SAS, PHX win = Memphis - 9 seed
    Only PHX & SAS win = Phoenix - 9 seed

    The schedule for each team is relative. On papers pels had it easy, but they play a bunch of teams fighting for the play in game. On the other hand the suns on paper had it tough, but their opponents rested their best players on most of those games so that made it that much easier to get wins. In all honestly the suns haven’t been tested at all in the bubble.

    If everyone wins:

    8. POR-- .472
    9. MEM-- .4657 (tie-breaker over PHX 3-1 head to head)

    10. PHX-- .4657
    11. SAS-- .4647

    To be fair they did beat a Clippers team with Kawhi and George so that was impressive. I dont really recall the rest of there schedule so I can't comment, but I remember that game cuz of Bookers game winning shot.

    Yep and the Dallas game, but their last three games the other teams rested players. Also they got to play the wizards who are a joke.

    Dallas will rest Doncic and Kristaps. They are locked into 7th. No reason to play starters.

    Suns will win
