So we may have found a starting lineup that works atm, and over the next 9 games we play:
-Cleveland, @Minny, NYK, @Chicago, NO, @Wash, ATL, @Detroit, Phoenix.
Only 2 of those 9 teams have a positive point differential: NO at +0.6 and Detroit at +1.1 net.
We're 11-10 now with a +2.8 point differential. I know it's optimistic, but we could go 7-2 over these 9 games if all goes well, and improve to 18-12 over the next 3 weeks.
What's more, we'll certainly pass Detroit in this time span and move into 5th, and 2 of our pick teams, Sacto and Memphis, have tough schedules and should return to earth.
