Portland's 2017-18 regular season will come to a close in less than a month, and all signs currently point to the team moving on to the postseason for the fifth-straight year, though even an 11-game winning streak hasn't assured the Trail Blazers a spot in the playoffs with 14 games left to play. While your Blazers have a healthy 3.5 game lead over the teams currently in the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, that's not even close to enough of a cushion to coast through the final three weeks of the regular season. In fact, the only things that are all but decided in the West at this point is that either the Rockets or Warriors will win the conference (with the other finishing second, obviously) and the Mavericks, Kings, Suns, Grizzlies and Lakers (though they technically haven't been mathematically eliminated) missing the postseason.
