The Los Angeles Lakers have two games left on their regular season schedule and they have no idea where they’re going to finish in the Western Conference or who they’re going to play; they just know that they’ll play at least two games once the regular season is over.
It’s not an ideal situation to be in, but they’re far from the only team in it. In fact, the No. 10 seed San Antonio Spurs are the lone team with a set spot in the Western Conference. The nine other teams likely won’t know their fates until the final day of the season.
