With just one more day left in the regular season, all 30 teams will play on Sunday to determine the final playoff picture, play-in tournament, and lottery odds heading into postseason play. The 10 teams in the Western Conference postseason have already been determined, but seedings remain up in the air for all but the San Antonio Spurs, who will be in the 10th and final seed.
Here are the standings, seeding battlegrounds, and the motivations for the Denver Nuggets heading into the final day:
Current Standings
- Denver Nuggets, 47-24
- San Antonio Spurs, 33-38
Seeding Battlegrounds
Utah Jazz versus Phoenix Suns for the first seed
The Jazz currently sit one game ahead of the Suns for the top seed in the ultra competitive Western Conference, the preferred spot for both teams given that the Los Angeles Lakers currently sit in seventh.
