3 way tie for the 1 seed in the West with 1 game to go.
Thunder, Wolves, Nuggets, all 56-25.
Thunder play the Mavs in OKC.
Wolves play the Suns in Minnie.
Nuggs play the Grizz in Memphis.
As far as the last spot/s in the West....
Last night the Lakers struggled with a very depleted Memphis team - but beat them.
Suns were losing and came back and beat the Kings by 1.
Warriors lost to the Pelicans.
Comes down to tomorrow afternoon and it is still somewhat complex but at least the picture is set.
Current standings....
Lakers 46-35 - 8 seed
Kings 45-36 - 9 seed
Warriors 45-36 - 10 seed
Lakers have no chance for the 7 seed so there is no chance I see two home play in games.
Lakers beat the the Pelicans - Lakers are the 8 seed.
OR Lakers lose to the Pelicans, Kings lose to the Blazers, and Warriors lose to the Jazz, Lakers are the 8 seed.
8 seed isn't great for me because they would play the 7/8 play in game on the road. But, if they win that game, then the Lakers would have a home game against the winner of the Warriors/Kings.
Lakers lose and the Kings and Warriors win, Lakers are the 10 seed. They lose the tiebreaker against both teams. Zero chance for there to be a Lakers home play in game.
If I had to bet, I would bet the Lakers lose to the Pelicans and the Kings beat the Blazers and the Warriors beat the Jazz.
My hope is, the Lakers lose, the Kings win, and the Warriors lose. Lakers would have a home play in game (9/10 seeds) against the Warriors. Loser is done for the season.
