2) Dallas (.601)
3) Utah (.520)
4) Portland (.456)
5) Houston (.341)
Predicted season-end standings
5) POR 44-38
6) MEM 43-39
7) HOU 42-40
8) DAL 41-41*
9) UTA 41-41*
*100% depends on winning in Utah 4/11. If we win, we tie and own the tie-breaker 2-1. If we lose, we miss the playoffs unless we somehow win in LA or at home against the Spurs. Houston has the easiest schedule. Mavs have the hardest of any of the three teams fighting for the final two spots (Hou, Dal, Uta). That head-to-head is going to be huge.

IDK....looking at Memphis' schedule our game could be important against them because we could go 3-2 the rest of the way and they could very easily go 1-4. Not sure who holds the tie breaker between us and them though if we win that game.
