Buckle up! This is going to be a weekend to remember. The 2024-25 NBA season is gearing up for a thrilling, high-octane conclusion that promises to keep fans glued to their screens. With just two games left per team, all 30 franchises are ready to go full throttle in a final push to secure playoff spots or improve their postseason seeding. Expect intensity, fireworks, and emotions running high as the league heads into a weekend packed with drama, tension, excitement, cheers, heartbreaks, and unforgettable moments.
Eastern Conference scenarios
While the top of the table seems set, the battle for playoff positioning is anything but settled. New York Knicks (NYK) hold a narrow 1-game lead over Indiana Pacers (IND) in the race for the #3 seed and home-court advantage in the first round.
Milwaukee Bucks (MIL) are hanging onto the #5 spot, ahead of the fast-charging Detroit Pistons (DET) by 2 games. In the Play-In zone, the Chicago Bulls (CHI) are 1 game ahead of the Miami Heat (MIA) for the #9 seed, with both teams desperate to avoid early elimination.
Western Conference showdown
The Western Conference is living up to its wild reputation — and it’s about to get wilder. Expect constant shuffling as results pour in. The Los Angeles Lakers (LAL) are trying to hold off both the Denver Nuggets (DEN) and the LA Clippers (LAC) for the #3 seed, with just a 1-game cushion.
The Sacramento Kings (SAC) sit 1 game above the Dallas Mavericks (DAL) for the #9 spot, making every remaining game a must-win in their Play-In chase. Meanwhile, the middle of the pack is an all-out brawl — only 1 game separates Denver, the Clippers, Golden State Warriors (GSW), Memphis Grizzlies (MEM), and Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN) in the fight for seeds #4 through #8.
