On April 13, 2024, Beijing time, the penultimate round of the NBA regular season came to an end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Grizzlies, the Warriors lost to the Pelicans, the Suns defeated the Kings away, and the Western Conference standings changed again. Judging from the results of this round, the three popular teams in the West, the Suns, Lakers and Warriors, still have the possibility of entering the playoffs!
After this round of games, the Lakers are considered to be fishermen, facing the remnants of the Grizzlies, the Lakers also dragged the suspense to the last moment, this game is really ugly, both offensive and defensive ends are not the intensity of the playoffs, obviously for the remnants of the Grizzlies did not give enough respect. Fortunately, the victory was in the hands of the end, otherwise the Lakers could have become the biggest joke of the season.
After this round, the Lakers also moved up to eighth place in the West, a result that had to be thanks to the Pelicans and Suns, after the Kings, Warriors and Lakers had the same record. The Lakers defeated the Grizzlies, the Warriors lost to the Pelicans, and the Kings lost to the Suns, which also widened the gap between the Lakers and the two contenders to one win. With one round to go, as long as the Lakers don't lose, they can enter the play-in tournament as eighth, giving them one more chance.
The Suns, who are currently ranked seventh in the West, still have a chance to go further in the rankings after defeating the Kings, as long as the Suns beat the Timberwolves and the Lakers beat the Pelicans in the last game, the Suns will have a chance to rise to sixth in the West and directly enter the playoffs.
Despite the upside, the Lakers' situation should not be taken lightly, and their final game will be against the Pelicans, who will return to the home court of the Pelicans, who are not an easy team to beat.
There is a worse situation for them, once the Lakers lose to the Pelicans, the Kings beat the Trail Blazers, and the Warriors beat the Jazz, the Lakers will still fall to 10th place in the West.
With the exception of the Clippers in fourth place and the Mavericks in fifth, all playoff spots are subject to change, with the Thunder, Timberwolves and Nuggets in the top three with the same record, and the final standings will not be determined until the final round. The Pelicans are in sixth place, the Suns are in seventh place, the Lakers are eighth, the Kings are ninth, and the Warriors are tenth, and these teams are competing for the sixth spot with the Suns, and the Lakers, Kings and Warriors are competing for the eighth spot.
In fact, judging from the current rankings, the three popular teams in the West, the Lakers, Warriors and Suns all have a chance to enter the playoffs at the same time. This condition is more harsh, this has to be in the final round, the Suns beat the Timberwolves, and the Lakers beat the Pelicans, so the Lakers and Pelicans win the play-offs, the Warriors and Kings play-offs Warriors win, and the Warriors beat the Pelicans in the next round of the play-offs, so that the Suns, Lakers and Warriors can enter the playoffs at the same time.
If the Suns fail to beat the Timberwolves this round, then at least one of the three teams will be eliminated, and possibly a maximum of two.
