I think we're pretty locked in to pick in the 8 to 10 range again.
We're 7/8 wins above the top 5 (Wash, NOP, Kings, Pacers, Nets). We're not catching that crowd.
Jazz at 6 with 15 wins. We've already seen how good they are at tanking. We're not catching them.
Memphis/Milwaukee at 7 and 8. If the Bucks trade Giannis, its full on tank. Memphis with or without Ja will probably tank. I think it would take a miracle to get in this range.
We're currently a half game above Charlotte at 9. I think the Hornets want to win. They are sitting a couple games behind that 10 spot in the east. This is where our lottery odds will fall.
