With just two game days remaining in the 2024-25 regular season, teams around the NBA have started to lock up their positions in the standings ahead of the playoffs on April 19.
The top six teams in each conference will earn an outright playoff berth at the conclusion of the regular season. The following four teams will compete in the play-in tournament on April 15-18 for the last two seeds in each conference, respectively.
