Eastern Conference
These teams are battling either for a playoff spot or a better position in the play-in tournament. The more they win over the next two games, the stronger their position will be:
- Raptors
- Hawks
- Magic
- 76ers
- Hornets
For the higher-seeded teams, the standings likely won’t shift much. It’s worth noting that the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds are expected to be the Raptors and Hawks, while the No. 3 and No. 4 spots will come down to the Cavaliers and Knicks. The exact order between 3/4 and 5/6 could still change depending on game outcomes, but the 5-seed cannot move up to 4.
Western Conference
The playoff and play-in picture is much clearer in the West.
Play-in teams:
- (7) Suns
- (8/9) Clippers
- (8/9) Trail Blazers
- (10) Warriors
The Clippers and Trail Blazers are competing for the No. 8 spot. The loser will fall to No. 9, which creates a more difficult path—since the No. 9 and No. 10 teams would face Oklahoma City if they advance through both play-in rounds.
Hopefully this helps with your wagers over the next couple of games.
Good luck!
