Most of the NBA teams have either eight or nine games left in the regular season, but there is still some suspense with regard to playoff positioning. In the Eastern Conference, the first three seeds look to be set, with Milwaukee leading Toronto by four games and Philadelphia by 8 ½ games. The 76ers lead Indiana by two games — but Philadelphia has dropped two in a row. Then comes Boston, 12 games out of first, but then we have a mess of five teams (Brooklyn, Detroit, Orlando, Miami and Charlotte) who are 2 ½ games apart and have three playoff spots to fight over. In the Western Conference, it would take a major rally by Sacramento — and a collapse by one of the 5-8 seeds — for the Kings to make the playoffs. Golden State and Denver are tied atop the conference, and then Portland and Houston are tied, four games back, and then the Clippers, Jazz, Thunder and Spurs are two games apart in the fifth through eighth seeds. So there could be some shifting, but the eight teams appear to be set. We have seven NBA playoffs betting predictions that we can make about the coming postseason.
