The Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and Dallas Mavericks are in a tight race for the final two spots in the NBA Play-In Tournament. All with eight or fewer games remaining, none of them have a firm grasp on either of the spots. The team that gets the ninth spot will host the 10 seed in a single-elimination game, with the winner playing the LOSER of the 7/8 game for a chance to be the eighth seed.
