Even if the Suns (32-39) take their final two Tuesday against Philadelphia and Thursday against Dallas to finish 8-0, they’ll still need Memphis and Portland to lose once in their last two games to reach the play-in tournament.
San Antonio could win both of its game and will still finish one percentage point behind Phoenix for the ninth spot.
With all 22 invited teams not playing the same number of games overall, the standings are based on winning percentages.
This is how it'd look if that scenario played out.
Then they have to win twice against Memphis in that scenario? 10 game win streak would be impressive. Too bad the Mavs will spoil it.
