I need to work through some of these scenarios, but I like the Magics chances against the Knicks and it looks like the Bucks could pummel Detroit enough for the Celtics to get in.

So now you are on team Bucks. I had them last in my power rankings and that inspired them to get back on track. My Giannis bet looks better every day.

I don't know if thinking a team can beat up on Detroit makes me on their team.

Also, I'm just trying to give the dying man some false hope. Have some tact.

I think best scenario for me in terms of number of picks is Magic beats Knicks and Celtics makes wildcard in East; then in west, Spurs beat Suns, OKC beat Jazz, and Grizzlies beat Mavs, so Spurs wins group and OKC is West wildcard. I think that nets me the most number of picks in knockoff stage.

I don't have everyone's remaining picks in front of me, but I'm guessing everyone who can will be taking the Cavs on Tuesday.

Nah. I am going to Yolo a pick since I can't use a rebuy in the playoffs.

It does kind of suck for me that I have used some of these surprise teams as I thought there was no way they would be competitors. But I still have a decent slate of teams to choose from.

In that case, I recommend the Wizards. It'll be you against us, which means either you use your rebuy or the rest of us do.

That might be a bridge too far. I was thinking the Raptors or Hornets. Teams that are risky picks but might actually have a chance to win.

What about the title contending 76ers? If you can believe it, they're already eliminated too.

Seems shocking considering their big 3 have played together once this year. Would have thought that moment would have carried them for the entire season.

I think the official stat is that Embiid, George, and Maxey played a whopping six minutes together this season. Crazy considering the amount of money they're paying these guys.

I'm on the Cavs train, as I want to save the 5k going into the knockout stage. I hope Cavs do not disappoint and end up losing to the Wizards, that will be an even bigger surprise.

GR, I recommend taking the Raptors. It's never wrong to pick your home team (unless they're the Leafs of course), and I think the Raps do have a shot against the Pacers.
