the Cavaliers, 76ers, Hawks, Hornets, and Suns can only get in VIA WC.

Scenarios:

  • one of the Bucks, Magic, Knicks, Heat, Nets, Cavaliers, Celtics, 76ers, Hawks, and Hornets could get that final WC spot, 2 of these other teams will win their Group, leaving 7 teams out, the least likeliest to get a WC spot is the Hornets.

  • the Suns can only miss out on a WC spot if the Warriors AND Timberwolves win AND the Timberwolves win by more than 37.

    i’m saying that the Suns can miss out on a WC spot if the Warriors & Timberwolves both win by 37+ and 30+, resulting in the Warriors/Timberwolves winning the group, and the other team being the WC over the Suns.
