There will be various games around the NBA this evening in which neither team has much to play for, with a playoff seed or a trip to the lottery already cemented. On the other hand, there are a handful of Wednesday matchups such as San Antonio-New Orleans, which will have a significant impact on seeding and the Round 1 opponents for both squads.
A mind-numbing series of possibilities still exit for the Pelicans in terms of their playoff details, but one thing is clear: If they beat the Spurs, they will wind up as a No. 5 or No.
