Final Week: 19 of 20 Playoff Teams Haven't Clinched Their Seed Yet

We're five days from the end of the NBA regular season and almost nothing is settled. Only the Detroit Pistons have clinched their exact playoff seed — the No. 1 spot in the East. Every other team is still fighting.

In the East, six teams are battling for positions 5 through 10: the Hawks, 76ers, Raptors, Hornets, Magic, and Heat. Only two of them will avoid the Play-In Tournament. In the West, the 3-through-6 seeds are separated by just a few games — the Lakers, Nuggets, Rockets, and Timberwolves could end up anywhere.

The regular season ends April 12. The SoFi Play-In Tournament runs April 14-17. Playoffs tip off April 18. Five days, dozens of scenarios, and hundreds of millions in playoff revenue on the line. This is the best final week we've had in years.
