The Blazers will not hold home court no matter what. The only team they can catch is the Rockets, and the only way the Rockets wind up in the fifth spot is if they finish with a better record. The Blazers are locked in the fourth seed and will not have home court.
Remaining schedules:
Grizzlies: at Warriors, vs. Pacers
Rockets: vs. Pelicans, at Hornets, vs. Jazz
Clippers: vs. Nuggets, at Suns
Spurs: vs. Suns, at Pelicans
Blazers: vs. Jazz, at Thunder, at Mavericks
Relevant games Sunday: Pelicans at Rockets
No. 7: The Mavericks are locked into the 7th seed. They can't move up or down. They'll win whoever comes out of that bloodbath described above. They can start resting starters.
No. 8: The Pelicans got their backsides handed to them Wednesday vs. Memphis but kept a lock on the 8th seed due to their head to head tiebreaker over OKC. Both teams won Friday. Here are the remaining schedules.
OKC remaining: Pacers, Blazers, Wolves
New Orleans remaining: Rockets, Wolves, Spurs
In their final three games, the Thunder face two teams they should beat and the Blazers, who are locked into the fourth seed and will likely be resting players. The Pelicans, on the other hand, face the Rockets battling for the 2-seed, the Wolves, and San Antonio -- and who knows what they'll be doing.
The Pelicans likely have to find at least two wins out of those three games. That seems pretty tough, but then, we've counted them out before and here they are.
Relevant games Sunday: Pelicans at Rockets, Thunder at Pacers
