The Thunder’s playoff future remains up in the air with one regular season game remaining, so here’s a list of the possible scenarios that depend on the results of this evening’s NBA action.
A few notes:
- The 1-seed (Golden State) and 5-seed (Utah) are already determined
- OKC can lock up the 6-seed with a win at Milwaukee
- Portland is resting Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum this evening — potentially eliminating the possible Thunder/Blazers matchup in the first round if they lose to the Kings tonight.
- The Thunder are guaranteed to play Portland, Houston, or Denver in the first round
- The games of note:
- Thunder @ Bucks / 7:00 PM CT
- Spurs vs Mavericks / 7:00 PM CT
- Clippers vs Jazz / 9:30 PM CT
- Blazers vs Kings / 9:30 PM CT
- Nuggets @ T-Wolves / 9:30 PM CT
