It’s not looking too good.
Next 19 Games are against teams ahead in the standings with no intention to tank.

The balance is the last 15 games have only one game against a team over .500. Schedules balance out. We just need to stay healthy and close playing our best basketball of the year. That’s possible. Just need a little help from the front office.
The last 15 are no cakewalk either. Some sub-500 teams but many will also be looking for potential play-in berths. Only 2 games against tankers as of today, Houston and Orlando. Orlando might feel chippy and take that game. The rest are still playing for something, sub-500 or not. A home-road b2b at Chicago is a schedule maker’s loss right there, but they could be out of it by then. No nights off. Unless the team catches fire, gets, and stays healthy, it’ll be tough to punch a playoff ticket.
