With the NBA regular season coming to a end, things are beginning to heat up. The Timberwolves currently hold the 9th seed and the Pelicans hold the 10th spot in the very competitive western conference. With the most recent acquisitions for the Lakers, I believe they can make it to the 9th seed. If the Trailblazers can continue to rally behind the scoring force of Dame Lillard they can make the 10th seed. With that said, I'm projecting the Timberwolves and Pelicans to fall out of contention and the Lakers and Trailblazers to take those final two play-in spots. If my projections are right, it will be hard not to watch every round of the western conference playoffs. This will also make for a great ending to the regular season.
