The race to the NBA playoffs has started. Currently, the Portland Trail Blazers have the 6th position and would avoid the Play-In Tournament.
The Portland Trail Blazers are now readying themselves for the Playoffs
Here’s how things are looking and how they could play out.
Portland has 4 games remaining in the regular season, Houston, Utah, Phoenix, and Denver. The final 3 will be tough, as they have a better record than the Blazers.
The Blazers’ main competition in avoiding the play-in are, Dallas, who are currently in 5th and have Memphis, New Orleans, Toronto, and Minnesota: and the Lakers, who own the 7th position and would be in the Play-In if it were to take place now.
