Some movement in the past few days as OkC and the Spurs remain far ahead of the pack and the Wolves move past the Lakers for 5th place. I prefer a 4/5 matchup with Houston to a 3/6 matchup with Denver. Suns are really struggling without Brooks and Booker, and seem destined to finish in the 7/8 spots with the struggling Warriors. I've re-forecasted OkC with all their injuries, but I still have them finishing ahead of the red-hot Spurs. Here are the updated win predictions:

OkC 61
Spurs 60
Nuggets 54
Rockets 52
Wolves 50
Lakers 49
Suns 47

Tim, it's time for you to get off your lazy butt and post your Klunk-O-Meter!

I am guessing that you have Denver beating the Wolves on Sunday. That is a huge game!

Yep, I do...could be an anti-klunker for us and a klunker for them that would reduce the current 4-win gap on my spreadsheet to just 2! And could provide a little cushion over the Lakers too. I will add though that I have the Lakers losing their next two road games against the Suns and the Warriors, and injuries for their opponents gives them some anti-klunker potential.
