Final Day Chaos: Every Playoff Seed Still Up for Grabs on Sunday
The NBA regular season ends Sunday, April 12, and somehow almost nothing is locked in.
OKC has the West's 1-seed and the best record in the league at 64 wins. Detroit locked up the East's top spot. Boston and New York grabbed the 2 and 3 seeds after wins on Thursday. But beyond that? Total chaos. Portland and the Clippers are fighting over the final play-in spots. The Lakers clinched home court but could be the 3 or 4 seed depending on Sunday's results.
In the East, the middle of the bracket is still a knife fight. The play-in tournament starts April 14, and seeding determines everything — matchups, home court, and which teams have to survive the gauntlet just to make the first round. This is the best final day of a regular season in years. Circle Sunday.
