Utah will play the Spurs next, so they should win one as well - best case scenario would probably be a tie with Utah right now. We play the Bulls, so we should have a chance to fall behind them in the end to at least secure the 10th spot in the lottery and have a decent chance to keep our pick.
We play at the Sixers and at Miami next, if we lose those two I hope even Kidd and Cuban realize we won‘t win anything this year except for maybe a very talented rookie.
Today was in between - important that the Hawks and Raptors won to stay in front of us, the Thunder losing to the Hornets hurts, because they couldn’t separate from us.
Golden State winning against the Pelicans is basically a wash for our chances in the lottery, even if I‘d say that the last safe playoff spot is completely out of reach for us now, it’s play-in or hopefully nothing.
