Orlando's schedule is about equal to Utah's. I don't see them making up a 2-game gap. But if Utah can lose their remaining 7 games, you never know!
Detroit is likely out of reach. The good news is they play Boston tomorrow on a back-to-back. And the Pistons are motivated to tank. Their pick is top-8 protected, IINM. They need to fall another spot (behind Sacramento) just in case a team from 9-14 gets lucky in the lottery.
As for the Lakers, yep, have to cheer for them. They have a brutal schedule to finish. They need to pull off a surprise victory somehow against a WC playoff team or @ Utah.
