Does anyone have a good updated summary of what teams are still fighting for something tonight and tomorrow?

Rotoworld has a nice summary of each team, both playoff and non playoff. At least what they think who might play or sit

Oklahoma is locked into the 8th slot, for an upcoming matchup with the Lakers

Miami needs a win or Milw loss to clinch the 5th seed

Denver can win the division and 3rd seed with a win tonight

San Antonio can finish 6th but need a win tomorrow and Portland loss ( vs GSW )

Utah , who knows

Charlotte is locked into 7th with a matchup vs. Orlando

Atlanta/ Boston- Atlanta finishes 3rd with a win Wed or a Boston loss in their last two games. At least that's how I interpret this:

The Hawks’ third consecutive victory moved them 1-˝ games ahead of idle Boston. The Hawks would clinch the third seed if the Celtics lose at Chicago on Tuesday. If Boston wins, the Hawks would need to beat Cleveland at Philips Arena on Wednesday to finish ahead of the Celtics.

It doesn't say specifically but I assume 2 Boston W's and a Hawk loss, Boston finishes 3rd

Tor/Chi

Toronto holds the tie breaker vs Chi, so

A Raptor W and one Bull loss, Tor is in. If Chi wins out they are in

reeb needs to buy Corey Maggette and hope for a 251.5 SNP in his final two or three SU invalid rosters to clinch WWR 1.

I think I've figured out that Utah-Phx will have meaning tomorrow no matter what happens tonight but there could be some intervening factor I don't know about. If they both win or both lose tonight of course they will stay tied. Utah is up 2-1 in the season series so if they're a game behind they could get the higher seeding if they win tomorrow. But Phoenix has a better conference record, so if they're a game behind they could tie the season series and get the higher seeding (unless conference record isn't the second tiebreaker). Plus Utah can still finish ahead of Denver. I don't know how Dallas factors in.

I have a feeling I know who everyone's buying today in any event.

Hmmm, anyone have a feeling as to the Lakers or Orlando playing their starters much tonight. Who wins the tiebreaker for 2nd best record in the league if they tie?

I think I read on rotoworld that the Lakers are playing but very few minutes.

Actually I have lots of decisions to make. Dwight Howard, Gasol, Rondo all seem like potential questions.... Earl Barron, Livingston and Amir Johnson on the bench.
