2026 NBA draft thread

[Smitty]

21 Wins and 10 Games to go for the Jazz. They have 3 winnable games left on their schedule IMO. (WAS, NOP, MEM)
23 Wins and 10 Games to go for the Mavs. They have 4 winnable games left on their schedule IMO. (POR, MIL, LAC, CHI)
24 Wins and 11 Games to go for the Grizzles. They have 3 winnable games left on their schedule IMO. (CHI, MIL, UTAH)
25 Wins and 10 Games to go for the Pelicans. They have 4 winnable games left on their schedule IMO. (POR, SAC, ORL, UTAH)


I feel comfortable saying it's unlikely the Mavs tie or jump the Jazz for the 5th spot. As well as it being unlikely that the Pels tie or jump the Mavs, in this disgraceful tank-off. As my kids would say, six--seven... It likely comes down to the final game of the season against CHI, with the Mavs needing to lose to stay in a tie with MEM or stay ahead of them in the Win column.
