What a packed race it is to secure a top 6 seed as the season reaches its end, and seemingly the 4 seed also in play as the clippers face a tough schedule for the next 7 days.In theory if the mavs were to secure the 4 seed would yall rather them face the clippers in what would be a revenge series for Luka or would yall rather have them face a different team?

The Suns schedule is a lot less scary with Clippers potentially losing Kawhi for an extended period.
At least they have a game with the pelicans so one of them will be pushed back a bit.
There is really no margin for error here, gotta pretty much win almost every game that is left because falling to the play-in again is a very real posibility
Why even have an Eastern conference?
Pelicans seem to be in a free fall without Ingram and now Zion is hurt with a finger injury. Doesn’t seem like the Pelicans can stay in the playoff picture. Clippers without Kawhi can easily slide. Suns have a tough ass schedule the next six games. Suns, Kings, Pelicans, Clippers all play games against each other down the stretch. Mavs just need to win the games they are supposed to and they will easily make the playoffs.
Based off remaining schedules and who owns tiebreakers I’m predicting it ends up as
1. Nuggets
2. Wolves
3. Thunder
4. Clippers
5. Mavs
6. Kings
7. Lakers
8. Suns
9. Pelicans
