My assumption is that we make the play-in.

Teams 7, 8, 9, 10 make it to the play-in, 5 more teams that won't. I'm just going to assume Spurs or Rockets don't make a miracle comeback so 13 teams going for 10 spots, but that still leaves 3 that won't make it.

Denver (top 6)
Memphis (top 6)
Sacramento (currently 3rd, could see them flaming out or staying, probably at worst play in)
New Orleans (top 6)
La Clippers (top 6)

then there's

us (currently 6th)
Phoenix
Minnesota
Golden State
Utah

Outside looking in:
OKC
Lakers
Portland

I'll just guess now that OKC and Portland don't make the play-in, so it then comes down to us or Lakers hoping one of the other teams get eliminated? Or maybe both of us make it. Endless possibilities, but we do have a pretty tough schedule. I calculated that 23 of our remaining 32 games are against teams with similar or better records than us.
