Question: now is it sure that we'll be #6 and we'll face Denver?
Or something could still happen?
I should let someone else answer because I’ve got my mind elsewhere, but I think we need to lose in order to guarantee #6.... if we end up wanting that spot.
 
Jazz are resting Gobert and Conley tomorrow against the Spurs per Tony Jones. Look for Bradley and Morgan to get significant minutes.

It's not impossible for the Jazz to get to #5, but if they lose to the Spurs (which it looks like they're willing to do), they'll be locked in at #6.

Clippers and Nuggets each have 2 games remaining. If the Nuggets win both and the Clippers lose both, then the Nuggets will take the #2 seed.
 
FWIW, we'd like Indiana, Philadelphia, OKC and Denver to win today, though the last two games don't matter too much.

Indiana and OKC won. Philly lost, but that's okay. See if Denver pulls their starters in the 4th quarter to tank this game and draw the Jazz in the 3/6 matchup.

I think both Clippers and Nuggets would prefer playing Dallas.

The Jazz are dangerous. They've been generating a ton of 3s in the bubble, like Dallas and Houston, but they make a higher percentage than those teams. Plus their defensive schemes are pretty solid. Mitchell and Clarkson are both dangerous scorers, and Conley's been good for 20p/7a. Jazz are going to be a load.
 
We'll have the 20 pick - considering a game or two in the opposite direction would put us at 25, I'm good with that.
