There are just two weeks left in the 2022-23 NBA season, but there are still countless possibilities regarding the Western Conference playoff seeding.
The top three seeds are nearly locked up by the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings, but there is an eight-team logjam for the final seven seeds of the playoff and play-in picture. All eight teams are separated by 3.5 games. (The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are still hanging around below them at 1.5 games out of the last play-in spot.)
A handful of head-to-head games between teams in the playoff race in the coming days will go a long way in determining the final playoff picture, including showdowns between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers on Friday and the LA Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
