2016 NBA Draft: Pelicans could vault to fifth in lottery with some help from the Timberwolves

Since we last got together the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime and earned win number 33 in the process. We bid the Bucks a fond farewell from our tank tracking. With 33 Bucks victories it is now mathematically impossible for the New Orleans to enter the lottery worse than 8th. Progress!

Every prediction places the Pelicans at exactly 31 victories and the Minnesota Timberwolves right around 29 victories. So far this season these teams have played three times, with the Pelicans racking up two victories.
