Seems to me that we should just play our main pieces 24ish mpg. To try to get some chemistry back while limiting injury possibilities. Likely stuck at 7th anyways. I think this whole situation helps us too.

Need to play them enough to shake off some rust, though I'd be particularly careful with KP. Getting up to the 5 seed isn't out of the question. 4 or above is probably a tall order but there's not going to be any home court advantage for the top 4 teams anyway with all of the games being played at Disney world with no crowds. Well ok, maybe the Magic have home court advantage of a sort because it's in Orlando but...

The new standings are as follows

West:

1. Lakers 49-14
2. Clippers 44-20 (5.5 games behind)
3. Nuggets 43-22 (7 games behind)
4. Jazz 41-23 (8.5 games behind)
5. Thunder 40-24 (9.5 games behind)
6. Rockets 40-24 (9.5 games behind)
7. Mavericks 40-27 (11 games behind)
8. Grizzlies 32-33 (18 games behind)
9. Blazers 29-37 (21.5 games behind)
10. Pelicans 28-36 (21.5 games behind)
11. Kings 28-36 (21.5 games behind)
12. Spurs 27-36 (22 games behind)
13. Suns 26-39 (24 games behind)

East:

1. Bucks 53-12
2. Raptors 46-18 (6.5 games behind)
3. Celtics 43-21 (9.5 games behind)
4. Heat 41-24 (12 games behind)
5. Pacers 39-26 (14 games behind)
6. 76ers 39-26 (14 games behind)
7. Nets 30-34 (22.5 games behind)
8. Magic 30-35 (23 games behind)
9. Wizards 24-40 (28.5 games behind)

That 8th spot in the West    Memphis has a nice grip on it but those teams are almost in playoffs from day one.
