Thunder, Pistons Eye Top Seeds
The final week of the NBA season is here, and plenty is still up for grabs. Detroit has already locked up the East’s No. 1 seed, while the Celtics, Knicks, and Cavs are mostly playing for position. The Hawks currently have the edge in the East’s 5-10 race, where two teams will grab playoff spots and the rest head to the play-in. OKC needs two wins in its final four games to lock down the West’s top seed, but the Spurs are still chasing. The Lakers, Nuggets, and Rockets have secured top-six spots, while Minnesota is three games ahead of Phoenix in the race for No. 6. The Clippers, Blazers, and Warriors are locked into the play-in.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
The Suns make Minnesota sweat, but the Timberwolves hold onto the No. 6 seed.
