With the season tottering on the edge, to beat MEM, TOR and LAK for a 3 game win streak drastically increases their odds to finish in top 10.
Now we go to NO and DAL then come home for NO, CHA, ATL, TOR, PHO, CHI.... then comes May and a 6-game West Coast swing and come home to end season against SAS, CHA, and BOS.
Try to split the NO/DAL road trip and take 4 of the 6 at home. Go 5-3 next 8 bc we might go 4-5 final 9 games.
