Three Days Left: 14 of 20 Playoff Seeds Still Up for Grabs

With three game days remaining in the 2025-26 regular season, the NBA playoff picture is still wildly unsettled. Ten teams have clinched postseason berths, but 14 of 20 seeds are still up for grabs. The SoFi Play-In Tournament tips off April 14 and the full playoffs begin April 18.

In the East, the Pistons have the 1-seed locked up. The Celtics can clinch the 2-seed with a win over the Knicks tonight. Below them, the Raptors and 76ers are in a dogfight for the 6-seed — the last spot that avoids the play-in tournament. Every game from here on out has real stakes.

In the West, OKC has the 1-seed sewn up at 64-16, the best record in the NBA for the third consecutive year. The 4-through-7 seeds are separated by just two games, with the Lakers, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Mavericks all jockeying for position. The final weekend of the regular season is going to be chaos.
