NBA Standings Update: Wizards, Magic Games Could Impact Trail Blazers Lottery Odds – Blazer's Edge
Filed under:
The Blazers are off today, but the draft position could be altered by two games.
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of four teams tightly grouped at the bottom of the league-wide standings.
The team with the worst record at season’s end will take the league’s fifth-worst record into May’s draft lottery, giving them above a 10 percent chance at the first pick and Victor Wembanyama.
The four teams include the Blazers, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards, all four of which are currently separated by only two games.
Today, the Washington Wizards host the Boston Celtics while the Orlando Magic visit the Memphis Grizzlies. The Blazers and Pacers have the day off.
Key results to watch:
Importantly, the Pacers, Wizards and Magic are still within arms reach of the Eastern Conference Play-In race.
