    It’s because 2 of the probabilities were like 47.5% and 40.5%, and they just rounded it up.

    I myself calculated percentages today with a couple of assumptions: 1) if Denver win today, they won’t lose last 2 games (Spurs and Memphis). 2) OKC will win out if motivated (Spurs with no Wemby, Bucks with no Giannis, unmotivated Dallas likely without Luka and Kyrie, all at home). 3) Wolves 32% – Denver 68% (based on the odds today), Wolves 70% – Hawks 30%, Wolves 50% – Suns 50% (my guesses, both opponents will be motivated).

    I got Wolves getting 1st seed at 27%, 2nd seed at 24%, and 3rd seed at 49%. Had OKC lost yesterday, Wolves would have guaranteed 2nd seed with 90% chance.

    Super helpful chart. We are in an amazing spot. Happy to not be seeing Nuggets, Mavs in first round.

    Tough to say what OKCs schedule will be like. Also phoenix might punt our game for rest if they’re solidified play in

    OKC may get a Dallas team that is solidified 5 and won’t play starters. Milwaukee still has maneuvering to do without Giannis but could still pull an upset.

    Wolves might be playing everyone important these last 2 games after tonight for the sake of home court

  4. Shouldn’t OKC have 7% chance of 1st? Or my math ain’t mathin’ today.

    I love how we a higher chance than Denver at 1 and 2 so Denver just gets wiped off from any slot lol.
