Did you know that the NBA has played 81 games so far this season, and the 1st to 3rd spots in the more competitive West have yet to be decided?
Specifically, the Thunder, Timberwolves and Nuggets are all chasing after each other with a 56-25 record, which is the first time in NBA history.
As for the root cause of this situation, it was the Nuggets' unexpected defeat to the bottom-ranked Spurs. Next, they will face the Thunder vs. the Mavericks, the Timberwolves vs. the Suns, and the Nuggets vs. the Grizzlies.
All things considered, the challenges facing the Nuggets are relatively minor. If the three teams have the same record, then the final ranking is in order: 1. Thunder;2. Timberwolves;3. Nuggets.
If the Thunder and Timberwolves win and the Nuggets lose, the ranking order is: 1. Timberwolves;2. Thunder;3. Nuggets.
If the Thunder and Nuggets win and the Timberwolves lose, the ranking order is: 1. Thunder;2. Nuggets;3. Timberwolves.
If the Timberwolves win with the Nuggets and the Thunder lose, the ranking order is: 1. Timberwolves;2. Nuggets;3. Thunder.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent some teams from deliberately releasing water at critical moments, the NBA league deliberately scheduled all games to be played on the same day and kicked off at the same time. In this way, the suspense is left until the last moment.
Compared with the competition for the top few places in the west, the competition for the last few is also quite fierce. For example, the Suns beat the Kings, the Lakers narrowly beat the Grizzlies, the Pelicans counterattacked the Warriors, etc.
Currently, the Lakers are eighth, the Kings are ninth, and the Warriors are tenth. In the final round, the Warriors will face the Jazz, the Kings will face the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers will face the Pelicans.
If both the Warriors and Lakers win and the Kings lose, the final ranking will be: the Lakers are eighth, the Warriors are ninth, and the Kings are tenth.
If both the Warriors and Lakers lose and the Kings win, the final ranking will be: 8th for the Kings, 9th for the Warriors, and 10th for the Lakers.
If the Warriors, Lakers, and Kings all lose, then the final ranking will be: Warriors eighth, Lakers ninth, and Kings tenth.
If the Warriors lose and both the Lakers and Kings win, the final standings will be: the Lakers are eighth, the Kings are ninth, and the Warriors are tenth.
Overall, which team do you think is most likely to advance to the playoffs via the play-offs? #nba你我皆主角#
