With the final week of the regular season remaining, the roster of 20 teams to enter the next round of the Eastern and Western playoffs and playoffs has finally been decided, with the Lakers dropping out of the top eight and the Warriors squeezing out the Rockets.

The top 10 list in the West is as follows

1-6 direct list: Timberwolves, Nuggets, Thunder, Clippers, Mavericks and Suns;

7-10: Pelicans, Kings, Lakers and Warriors.

Three teams compete for first place in the West: Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Thunder

The three teams compete for the first place in the West, the Timberwolves have the same record as the Nuggets, one win ahead of the Thunder, plus the Thunder Alexander is injured, and the other two teams compete for the first place with a clear advantage.

The Timberwolves and Nuggets still have a chance to face each other in the remaining schedule, and the outcome of this game will most likely determine the ownership of the top spot in the West.

The Clippers and Clippers are basically sitting in fourth and fifth

After the Clippers defeated the Cavaliers with George's quasi-smash, the team led the Mavericks by two games, who won 10 of 11 games, but had a disadvantage against the Clippers in the regular season.

In addition, in the remaining 4 games of the Clippers, they will play against the Rockets and Jazz, two teams that missed the playoffs, even if the Mavericks win, the Clippers can basically lock up the fourth position.

The Mavericks are two wins ahead of the Suns behind them, and they have been in hot form recently, and there is a high probability that they will also lock up the fifth position and face the Clippers in the first round.

The Lakers dropped out of the top eight

The competition for 6-9 places is fierce, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, the team fell out of the top eight, the Kings and Pelicans won one after another, and the Pelicans also beat the Suns, making the competition for 6-9 places in the West white-hot.

Judging by the remaining fixtures of several teams, as well as the potential head-to-head records, it is likely that the final ranking will be determined by playing the last game.

The Lakers were in the ascendancy, but after losing to the Timberwolves, the team's situation took a turn for the worse.

Not only did the team lose, but the core of the interior thick eyebrows also suffered from injuries and his eyes were injured by his opponent, and the Lakers will usher in a key matchup with the Warriors next.

If the Lakers can beat the Warriors, then there is a high probability that they will fight for seventh or eighth, and if they lose, they can only compete with the Warriors for the ninth or 10th position.

The Warriors' light win over the Jazz and the Lakers' loss in front of them narrowed the record of the two teams to 1.5 wins.

The two teams will also go head-to-head in the next game, and if the Warriors win, the Warriors will have a 3-1 lead in the regular season, and the Warriors have a chance to overtake the Lakers to move up to ninth, thus having home-court advantage in the play-off race.

The dark horse Rockets completely missed the playoffs, and after winning 11 consecutive wins, the Rockets once narrowed the gap behind the Warriors to 0.5 wins.

As a result, the team suffered 5 consecutive defeats, plus the Warriors defeated the Jazz, even if the remaining 4 games were won by the Rockets, the Warriors lost, and the Rockets completely missed the playoffs.

The top 10 list in the East is as follows

1-6 direct list: Celtics, Bucks, Magic, Knicks, Cavaliers and Pacers;

7-10: 76ers, Heat, Bulls and Hawks.

One of the best: the Celtics

The Celtics have won 60+ games, more than 10 wins ahead of the Bucks behind them, and locked the first place in the East and the first place in the league early.

The rankings of 2-8 places are extremely competitive

The second-place Bucks are just 2.5 wins ahead of the sixth-placed Pacers, and with four games remaining in the regular season, the Eastern Conference standings will change almost daily.

Coupled with Embiid's return from injury, the 76ers have won five in a row, and the top eight rankings are expected to be significantly adjusted, with the Bulls and Hawks competing for the 9th and 10th playoff rankings.
