On Monday I posted a The jumped back up a spot after So, after Wednesday’s slew of games, it’s time to look at where things stand entering Thursday morning. Most of Wednesday’s results did not go in the Warriors favor, but one crucial contest did: old friend Kevin Durant returned to the court for the You be the judge of how likely that will be. The Warriors have home games against the San Antonio Spurs and Elsewhere on Wednesday, the out of the play-in tournament, rather than rising in the standings. The dream of the fourth seed is probably dead. Phoenix’s win over Minnesota was good for Golden State, but also mostly shut the door on the Dubs reaching the fourth spot. The Suns have a 1.5 game lead over the Warriors, hold the tiebreaker, and are finally healthy. The Lakers won again, beating the The Thunder also eked out a win over James Wiseman’s The And finally, the Here’s where everything stands entering Thursday’s games: Still wild to look at ESPN If Golden State hangs onto the sixth seed, then they’ll likely have a first-round playoff matchup with old friends Harrison Barnes and Mike Brown and the rest of the Sacramento Kings, who ended their lengthy missed playoffs streak on Wednesday. Sacramento is back in the playoffs for the first time since Steph Curry’s senior year of high school, and the Warriors would have visions of doing very arrogant things to them in a first-round matchup. Should the Dubs fall to the seventh or eighth spot, then they’ll be in the play-in to...

Fully healthy, I’ll take The Jazz and Suns have the talent and ability to knock off the Lakers if they stumble at all. Utah brings back the same roster that had the best record in the West last season. While some pundits write the Jazz off in the playoffs after the Clippers took them apart a year ago, I believe if The Nuggets (if Regular Season standings 1. Jazz 2. Suns 3. Lakers 4. Warriors 5.

The 2022-23 NBA season is almost over, but the standings — and playoff matchups — are far from set. This is the third season of the NBA's postseason format as we know it, where the top six seeds in each conference clinch a playoff spot and teams seeded 7 through 10 battle for the final two playoff spots in the NBA's Play-In Tournament. While we have an idea of where the NBA's elite teams will land, there are a total of 23 teams in postseason contention entering the final week of the season, a testament to the parity in the league this year. Who will those top teams meet in the NBA Playoffs? Here's a snapshot of the playoff picture heading into Wednesday night's games. MORE: NBA Playoff picture: Seeding breakdowns Eastern Conference 1.

The The game was marred by, uh, defense. The teams looked tight early, and Denver opened 1 of 17 from deep. It was the first time this series that the winning team failed to score 100. In fact, it was the first time the winning team did not score at least 100 since the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals by the near-identical count of 93-89. Two-time MVP (2020-21 and 2021-22) Nikola Jokic won the NBA Finals Bill Russell MVP Award. He scored 28 points on 12-of-16 shooting to go along with 16 rebounds and four assists. The 3-point shooting was absent in this contest as both teams combined to shoot 14 of 63 for 22%.
