the combined chances of teams 8 through 14 at getting any of the three lottery spots is 29.5%. (any ties could change tht a little bit.)
So, statistically, what are the chances a team below 7 jumps to the top 3, thereby bumping the 7th to 8 in this example?
The Detroit win was good. They were going to pass gs anyways and this put cleveland out of reach.

I hope you're right, because I wanted New Jersey to pass and Detroit to tank. NJ has no reason to lose, but Detroit still has its pick.
I just tried that lottery and the Jazz's own pick went up to #3 where we took Michael Kidd Gilchrist. The Golden state pick dropped to #9 where we picked Kendall Marshall. Although extremely unlikely, it would be among the best drafts for the Jazz ever.I just look at chad fords mock draft. Has the % chances on the side

The Heat will rest Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on Wednesday against the Raptors.
Ronny Turiaf will also sit due to a hamstring injury.
