Here's all of the relevant games that affect us today:
Brooklyn loses at home to New Orleans; Good for Brooklyn pick
Minny loses at home to Dallas; Bad for Dallas pick
Houston wins at home over OKC;Good for Dallas pick
Cleveland wins at home over Charlotte; Good for Playoff Positioning
Remaining Games:
Phoenix playing Utah at home; win-win situation either way (good for Dallas pick if Utah wins and good for Brooklyn pick if Phoenix wins)
Boston playing Lakers at LA; good for Playoff Positioning if we win
It's a good time to be a Boston Celtics fan!
Utah is doing what you'd expect to Pheonix. With Houston winning today, I am feeling a little more hopeful about the Dallas pick, but I'd gladly sacrifice some positioning there for a Phoenix win. The far more valuable pick is the Brooklyn pick, and going 4th to 3rd is a much bigger plus than 16th to 12th.
That said, it's unlikely the Suns pull out a victory today, and probably won't win again to secure the 3rd position come ping-pong ball day (5/17).
