There is still a lot to be defined in the last two weeks of the regular season in the NBA

As The end of the regular season in the NBA is approachingonly four teams are officially eliminated from contention.

Los Hornets de Charlotte, Detroit Pistons, san antonio spurs y Rockets de Houston they are evaluating the talent that will be available during the next draw for new players and, therefore, the future.

On the other hand, only five franchises have clinched their respective postseason berths.

In the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee bucks, Celtics de Boston, Philadelphia Sixers are inside, while in the West, the Nuggets de Denver y Grizzlies de Memphis they did their own. Of course, there is still a need to define the positions and, in turn, determine which team will enjoy home advantage throughout the playoffs.

Including Friday’s results, the Bucks have the best record in the NBA at 53-20, but close behind are the Celtics at 51-23. Tied for third place are the Nuggets and Sixers with a 49-24 record.

The dilemmas are in the middle of the packs.

In the East, the New York Knicks (42-33) are in fifth place, but only a game and a half above the Heat de Miami (40-34). The Knicks have lost three straight and are at risk of dropping several spots if that trend continues. The Nets de Brooklyn (39-34), losers of five in a row, are seventh, good for the play-in along with the Hawks in Atlanta (36-37), Toronto Raptors (36-38) and the Chicago Bulls (35-38).

To complicate things a bit more, three teams are knocking on the door of the ‘play-in’. The indiana pacers (33-41) and the Wizards de Washington (33-41) are a game and a half behind the Bulls, while the Magic of Orlando (31-43) at 4.5 games.

In the West, things keep changing in the blink of an eye.

Los Warriors de Golden State (39-36) rose to sixth thanks to the fact that they have won three runs and threaten to continue rising given that the Suns de Phoenix (38-35) have lost the last three. In fact, the Suns are at the mercy of falling into the ‘play-in’ since the Minnesota Timberwolves (37-37), los angeles lakers (37-37), New Orleans Pelicans they are in the midst of winning streaks two games out of sixth place. Even, the The Thunder are in Oklahoma City (36-38) is that of the parties.

The Dallas Mavericks (36-38) went from being in the play-in to outside the top 10 because they have lost six of the past eight games. He Jazz de Utah (35-38) is half a game behind and the Trail Blazers (32-41) a 3.5.

So, each party vital to which during the last two weeks of the regular phase that ends on April 9 for those who still have hopes of qualifying to, at least, the ‘play-in’ where anything can happen.
