With the final games of the regular season scheduled this week and the Cleveland Cavaliers well out of the playoff race there is little to play of outside of Draft position. Cleveland takes on two teams this week that will continue on into the postseason, while a third has already clinched a worse record than the Cavs.
Cleveland is battling Toronto and New Jersey for draft position, and the Cavs trail those teams already. The Cavaliers can finish with one of the three worst records in the NBA, assuring themselves of a high pick in June's Draft. The Cavs open the week by traveling to Memphis on Monday night before hosting their home finale on Wednesday against Washington.
The regular season then closes on Thursday night in Chicago, where the Bulls will possibly be playing to clinch home court advantage in the playoffs.
