If they navigate the next 5 games tho I think we can kiss the thought of having two lotto picks goodbye. Hope OKC is locked in. Lakers are still figuring things out a bit and Houston has struggled lately. If Ant is healthy I think they are fine.

I think we're looking at 13-16. I wouldn't mind Flagg or Bailey and then Demin with the Wolves pick.
 
TWolves lost but at this point it's unlikely it becomes a loto pick. GSW is about to embark on a east coast road trip, so maybe they can get on a little streak

Both Dallas and Golden State are trending in the right direction.

Yeah, Dallas is playing well. I'm more looking at the teams outside the lotto who might jump both Dallas and Wolves, and GSW might be the only one with a small chance. Hopefully they get a nice streak in their road trip.
 
Probably still gonna need an ant injury to get a lottery pick

The chances of Wolves having to go through playin to get to the playoffs are pretty good. In that case all we need is a loss or two to send them to the lottery. It's not likely to be a very high lottery pick, of course, but a) some pingpong balls and b) at lowest the 14th pick.
 
Minnesota is currently tied for 7th/8th place with Dallas. They are a game back of LAC, a half game up on Golden State, 2 games up on Sacramento, and 3.5 games up on Phoenix.

Phoenix is 2-8 in their last 10 games. I don't see them catching Minnesota.
I have a hard time seeing Sacramento passing Minnesota, unfortunately.
Golden State has been pretty good since the Butler trade, I could definitely see them passing Minnesota.
AD is out for at least another 2 weeks, which makes me think DAL won't overtake Minnesota, unfortunately.

Unless Ant gets injured, I think the best case scenario for Minnesota is 8th, realistically. For that to happen we need to be hoping for LAC and GS wins.

The most disapponting part of the season for me has been that teams like Phoenix, GS and Sacramento refuse to capitalize on Minnesota losing plenty of games. Minnesota would be hanging around the 10th seed if those teams had shown some consistency in beating lower ranked teams.

I think they could get pushed as low as 9/10, but 11 seems out of the question. The difference between 8 and 9 is huge because as the 9th seed, you have to win two games and cannot lose whereas 8th seed only has to win one game and can lose one game. Them missing the playoffs accounts for roughly six draft slots which is about a 1st round pick of value by itself (and would probably vault the pick they owe us above the pick they will receive from Detroit, which is relevant because I want Danny Wolf really ****ing bad and I really think they’re going to target him).
