Micah Potter with 10 points and 10 boards off the bench for Indy.

Really bummed the Kings blew the lead against the cavaliers, that would be a fantastic outcome.

Bucks have entered the tank race.

Charlotte heavily favored against Washington today, and Mavericks on a four game win streak against the Lakers at home feels very winnable.

I'll root for the Kings and Pelicans still, but at this point I'm mostly hoping to stay 6th. I think we're just too good to hope for more.

I'm still in the "just hoping to keep our pick" place. I would be pretty happy with 6th.

Milwaukee is going to be hard to fend off. They are just flat out terrible without Giannis.

Truly concerning.

Alright, well the Bucks play the Mavs, Pelicans, and Wizards between now and the trade deadline… hopefully Giannis stays and plays but it sounds like he’s down until at least the deadline.

Other notes:
-within the next 4 weeks (if Giannis isn’t traded but the injury is as suspected) they play the Pacers and Pelicans again
-We still have to play the Bucks twice (>4 weeks out)
