Playoff spot and best lotto chance at stake tonight in Wolves-OKC finale

The Wolves and Oklahoma City finish the regular season tonight with so much at stake:

The Thunder need a victory and a New Orleans loss to San Antonio to secure the West's eighth and final playoff spot.

The Wolves need a loss to guarantee the league's worst record, and thus the best chance in the May draft lottery.

"We'd like nothing better than to have Oklahoma City go golfing with us tomorrow," Wolves coach Flip Saunders said.

Kevin Martin expects to play for the Wolves tonight and even Anthony Bennett is supposed to give it a try just so the Wolves can come close to getting eight ready players they need by NBA rules to play the game.

The Thunder has that playoff spot at stake and star guard Russell Westbrook is battling Houston's James Harden for the NBA's scoring title here on the season's final day, too.

"We have to play our game tonight," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said at his team's morning shootaround at Target Center. "Obviously, we need help. San Antonio needs to win, but we have to focus on what we have to do and go from there. Our job is to worry about our job and not worry about what's happening south of us."

"I mean, that's just how it goes," Westbrook said this morning. "That's how it always has been, especially in this league. It's something you can't change now. Obviously, our record is better than some teams in the East. It is what it is. We've got to take care of our business. That's the nature of the business."

A couple other things from today:

* Andrew Wiggins said he plans to play for Canada in August, which would be an Olympic qualifying tournament in Mexico. There's also the Pan Am Games in Toronto in July, which Anthony Bennett has said he will play.

* Zach LaVine said he's open to playing in the Las Vegas Summer League again. He said he plans to be in the gym all summer anywhere and likes playing to the crowd in Vegas. He also likes the up-and-down pace of the game there.
