That is of interest to me, not if we get a top four pick - I would break things if the Mavs traded down from that, unless we have the one or two and trade down for the third or fourth plus some very juicy assets - but rather if we don't and end up with the 9th or 10th pick.
"Obviously the Friday night games have big implications on the lower end of the lottery." -- I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here ... but nothing that happens Friday has any impact on the Mavs' FRP pick in the lottery.
Regarding the Mavs 2nd rd pick, coming from PHX, we want the Suns to win and make the playoffs and as a result get the worst FRP of the 3-way tie with PHI and ORL, because ties flip-flop the draft order in rd 2.
