    ESPN has the pick at 19. Tankathon has it at 18. Which is right?

    Gotcha. I guess Tankathon has the tiebreakers updated.

    This is going to come right down to the wire. At least it's some excitement for the end of the season, lol

    In the west:
    GSW: 41-38
    Clippers: 41-38
    Lakers: 40-38
    Pelicans: 40-38

    2 of them will play the play-in. Next game of the Clippers: against Lakers. Lakers won their 3 last games.

    Looking interesting

    Lakers with LeBron will be tough for Clippers without Paul George. LeBron will probably play more minutes too since this is meaningful for potentially avoiding the play-in.

    I can hardly see the league having the Lebron's in the play in where they potentially miss the playoffs.

    It's never as conspiracy until the Lakers are involved. Just ask the Sacramento Kings about the last time they made the playoffs.

    plus can the Raptors or the Hawks jump up one game over these last 3. If one of them slides into a tie with the Clippers that’s also gonna be interesting.

    actually I just looked up both their schedules and they play good teams to finish out the season. But Boston, Philly, and Milwaukee could rest some players down the stretch.

    Losing to the lakers was the best outcome code
    this pick . We put the Lakers in prime position to knock the clippers out of the playoffs and into the playin. Best rockets loss all year

    Who needs to lose today? San Diego State or UConn, we need that Clippers pick to get better.

    Just wake me up when it is all done, I don't care to get up or down on a low draft pick...i know it is some folks cup of tea, just not mine.

    They're both kind of correct. Rockets and Warriors are currently tied.

    There are no tie-breakers for draft positioning other than doing a random drawing for breaking the ties. So until those ties are broken, teams that are tied are just tied.

    There's still a lot of basketball left with the tie-breakers, play-ins, etc. to determine a lot of this stuff.

    Hardly a conspiracy when the league heavily favored the Lakers and Celtics.

    Foregone conclusion.

    In the past even more than now.
