Both coaches trying to lose to maintain draft position. Sixers end up with Lakers pick if somehow Lakers end up with sixth or worse draft position. Lakers first rounder top five protected. In addition if Sixers beat Lakers Sixers could end up in fourth slot with their own pick. Sixers best scenario is for them lose and end season with third worst record and Lakers to get hot ending with sixth worst record. This gives Sixers two picks in top 10 plus they own Miami's pick and OKC's pick. with the 3rd and 6th the Sixers could move up to one with a trade. As you can see it's pivotal game but you can thank the owners for not giving the Silver the votes to change the lottery this year. Noel is a stud and if Sixers pick up Towns, Muiday plus Embid who will ready for next season and Saric they have a powerhouse team in the making.
