Three game days left in the regular season.
The regular season ends April 12, and the playoff picture is still far from settled. Ten teams have clinched playoff berths — Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, and Cavaliers in the East; Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Lakers, Rockets, and Wolves in the West — but 14 of 20 postseason seeds remain undecided.
The most critical battle is in the East, where the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers are separated by just one game for the 6th seed. The loser drops into the play-in tournament. Toronto hosts Miami on Friday while Philly visits Houston — both games could swing the race.
In the West, the Warriors (37-42) are fighting for their postseason lives in the play-in picture, with tonight's game against the Lakers potentially decisive. The SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament runs April 14-17, followed by the first round on April 18. Three days of basketball left to sort it all out.
