With their win over the Knicks on Sunday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder have moved into the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The win also clinched the Thunder’s first playoff berth (non-Play-In Tournament) since 2019-2020.
The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves are still jockeying for the No. 1 seed in the West.
If the season ended today, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors would face off in the Play-In Tournament. A win-or-go-home game featuring LeBron James and Stephen Curry is must-see-TV.

The Boston Celtics are in cruise control in the East, with an 11-game lead over the Bucks for the No. 1 seed. The road to the NBA Finals in the Eastern Conference will run through Boston.
The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be the No. 2 seed. However, seeds No. 3-8 are still up for grabs, with only five games separating the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers.
Barring an epic collapse, the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks will likely face off in the Play-In Tournament.
