Here's the survivor pool post: #488380.
I'm in full blown research mode trying to figure out my first pick. The reminder post will go out tomorrow morning, when we'll know all the relevant stakes and injury information.
The Kings and Cavs are both looking like teams who will be playing for something and who you wouldn't want to pick in the playoffs. The problem is you might not want to even trust them to beat bottom-feeding lottery teams.
Speaking of gambling. I am surprised freebitcoin never posted for the main event of UFC this week. I guess RBOA broke them on the last ufc event and they "threw in the towel".

I have no idea how they choose their events.

Ugh my bad. I meant to link it.

No worries.
Are you still looking at the Kings?
reply
Probably kings or pacers.

I forgot about the Pacers. If the Hawks aren't playing for anything, that's a great option.
With the Giannis injury, and the really strong play-in teams, there's going to be some weird incentives on Sunday.
reply
Depends what happens with Pacers tonight. They could lock up the 6 seed if they win and 76ers lose.
reply
They'd still be able to move ahead of Orlando, though, right? So, they should be playing for something no matter what else happens.
reply
True but I thought ensuring avoiding the play in would take precedence over trying to get 5 instead of 6.
Technically they can still move ahead of Cleveland too and those teams play tonight. So tonight will determine a lot.
reply
Getting 5 instead of 6 could mean playing the Cavs instead of the Knicks, but it might mean playing the Magic instead of the Giannis-less Bucks.
Are the Knicks going to try for the 2nd seed, when that means playing either Phili or Miami in round 1?
There's definitely a lot in the air still.
