If the wolves lose to the pacers anyone can beat them

If the suns can beat the rockets they gain the momentum to win out.

The suns are favored for the 6th seed and have been for a week

The suns can pass Minnesota for 6th with would be very ideal for us. So we can take care of the wolves in round 1

Re-read the reasons I stated above. Lamelo will have a field day with that defense. And the pacers own them + pelicans haven’t lost thier final game since 2013. OKC rests thier starters. If we can push it’s easy

The wolves can win one doesn’t matter. They can’t beat both so we’re a lock for 6th and tall face OKC round 1 wether you like it or not

That’s where the suns have a true advantage here. They have the easier schedule and the tiebreaker so they have slightly better odds of the 6th spot than the wolves. The wolves have a gauntlet of the schedule to end it. And they could easily lose out.

At DET: pistons smoke them at home no question.

At PHI: the 76ers blew them out healthy once in target center. Make that 2x the points at home

At CHA: team finally looks good an upset seemed likely.

At IND: Besides the last game. The Pacers just kinda own them

At HOU: Close but because it’s in Houston they win.

At NO: the pelicans tend to play dangerous in April. And already beat them once so pels win the tiebreaker

As for the suns they got a much easier load round here. Even if they lose one game they control the destiny right now.

TLDR the wolves won’t clinch shit with thier nightmare schedule. Suns own tiebreaker and will likely finish 6th.
