I would put both Memphis and Dallas at the bubble teams as well. Dallas has had one of the easiest shedules so far and a lot of their players are old and prone to injury (guaranteed Zaza will be out at least for 10 games with hamstring injuries). Memphis still hasn't found their defence and they too are old and injury prone. Gobert will be out at least 1 month. I think that NO still has chances to make it with the current state of the West.
Until they are mathematically eliminated they can still find a way into the playoffs. I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this season, but there isn't any reason not to hope.
