The NBA’s Western Conference now knows its 10 postseason participants. Memphis and New Orleans were officially knocked out of contention, confirming the teams that will compete in either the playoffs or the play-in tournament.
According to information reported by Hoops Rumors, the conference’s top 10 is finalized, but the exact seeding remains unsettled. Positions 3 through 10 are separated by only a handful of games, leaving several clubs jockeying for home-court advantage or simply a place in the best-of-seven opening round.
With roughly two weeks left on the regular-season schedule, the remaining contests will decide where each qualifier lands in the bracket. While the field is fixed, tight margins in the middle of the standings promise a dramatic finish before the postseason tips off.
