With the exception of the 8 seed in the East, the playoff teams are basically decided although there will be some movement in seedings between now and the end of the season.
Orlando has the easiest schedule remaining among the contenders for the 8th seed in the East, so they are the favorite. Brooklyn has a very tough remaining schedule. Pacers have a tough remaining road too, and are coming back to earth after a good run right after Oladipo's injury.
Utah, San Antonio and the Clippers have easy remaining schedules, and Oklahoma City has a very tough remaining schedule. Nuggets schedule is tough enough that I think Warriors will hold onto the #1 seed in the West.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, the standings end up:
East: Bucks, Raptors, 76ers, Celtics, Pacers, Pistons, Nets, Magic
West: Warriors, Nuggets, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Thunder, Jazz, Clippers
I think the East will end up pretty close to the standings above. The west could end up anywhere.
What are your thoughts? Who is most likely first round victim?
