This might be another decent ML longer-shot play as the Timberwolves are locked into the West's No. 6 seed and sitting everyone of note (Joan Beringer sighting!). New Orleans has no reason to tank not owning its 2026 first-rounder. Yet the Pelicans are resting a lot of guys too. When did people stop caring about winning or giving your customers what they paid for? Today's NBA rule-out list is embarrassing for the league on the last day of the season when it should be a huge day. Hopefully we can at least profit off it. I'm not one of those "things were better back when types" but will say that Michael Jordan played all 82 games nine times and came close a couple other seasons.
