Eighteen different franchises have already participated in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament in its first three full seasons. That number will rise to 21 if Philadelphia, Phoenix and Sacramento stay where they are in the current standings.

Tuesday went as good as it could for New Orleans.
Pelicans beat the Blazers.
Kings lost to the Thunder.
Lakers lost to the Warriors.
Suns lost to the Clippers.
Current standings:
6. Pels (47-32)
7. Suns (46-33)
8. Kings (45-34)
9. Lakers (45-35)
10. Warriors (44-35) – 12:25 AM

Scenarios for LAL to finish ahead in standings get tougher:
If: LAL 2-0
They Need: GSW 2-1; SAC 1-2; PHX 1-2; NOP 0-3;
LAL 1-1
GSW 1-2; SAC 0-3; PHX 0-3
*LAL own tiebreaker over PHX, lead NOP 2-1 (April 14 H2H to decide)
**DAL + SAC and GSW own tiebreaker over LAL – 12:24 AM

The Pelicans move back into 6th place in the West. They are 1 game ahead of Suns, 2 games ahead of Kings. Suns own the head-to-head tiebreaker, so Pelicans will need to maintain at least a 1-game lead to remain ahead of them. – 12:23 AM

Westbrook: 16 Pts, 15 Ast, 15 Reb

With this loss and the Pelicans win, PHX falls to the 7-seed in the West, 1 game ahead of the Kings in 8th – 12:21 AM

@anthonyVslater
Warriors beat the Lakers, clinch tiebreaker, control their own destiny for ninth seed. If they beat the Blazers, Pelicans and Jazz this week, they finish ahead of the Lakers.
Two Kings losses or three Pelicans or Suns losses this week and GSW can climb into 8th with 3-0 finish. – 12:17 AM
