The NBA has managed to define its decisive phase after finishing the regular season and having the addition – which does not count for the statistics – of the play-in (which confirms the 7th and 8th positions in both conferences). After 82 games of the 30 franchises, only 16 make the cut, eight on each side of the draw, and continue with a chance to win the Larry O’Brien trophy. It will be a challenge to try to dethrone the Denver Nuggets, who have a lethal weapon like Jokic and are surrounded by other extremely valuable players like Murray, Gordon, Porter or Pope. A season also with Cup and All-Star in which the following teams have been eliminated: Nets, Raptors, Hornets, Wizards, Pistons, Rockets, Jazz, Grizzlies, Spurs, Blazers, and, after them, Hawks, Warriors, Heat and Pelicans after the play-in and Magic, Clippers, Heat, Bucks, Lakers, Suns, Sixers and Pelicans after the playoffs begin. The section in which the positions of honor are defined continues now, without further twists and turns.
