I honestly don't see the Jazz hitting last, they still have some decent players on the team unlike the other sucky teams. I actually see them landing 8-10 spot in the lottery, unless they start unloading most of the veterans before trading deadline. Or a lot sooner. Hopefully sooner.

I think Phoenix will bounce back strong for some reason, just a feeling. And Denver is due to have some folks back from injury and have a break-out season. Minnie will be right in the mix. The clippers was the toughest one to place because on paper they should be really solid but they haven't been able to stay healthy and even when they are they haven't been particularly competitive with 42 wins last year, can't see them getting much beyond that this year. Maybe they squeak into the top 4 though, that is a tough one. Lakers will squeak into the 8 slot edging out Portland and NO. Sac falls short, yet again. I am afraid we are better than 3 other teams, so we end up in 12th. I really hope I am wrong there and we end up in 14 or 15, maybe OKC edges us out.

Wolves and the Blazers are killing me ,but I still have confidence the Blazers slide even if the Wolves can't figure things out.
Jazz obviously could still fininsh much lower with tanking moves in the next couple weeks via trades or injuries, but they are clearly not trying to
build through high lottery picks by losing. That was fairly obvious by the end of the first 10 games shortly after these predictions.

Why are November and December identical?
That seems odd. I'll double-check tonight.
