In the final weeks of the 2024-25 NBA regular season, we're coming down to the wire with the race for the postseason becoming tighter in the East and West.
In the West, the Phoenix Suns and the injury-riddled Dallas Mavericks are in a battle for the 10th seed and last play-in spot. The Mavs hope the return of Anthony Davis following his lengthy absence with an adductor injury will give them a boost over the Suns in the standings.
In the East, the No. 6 Detroit Pistons -- one of the surprise teams of the season -- still have their sights on a higher playoff seed, while the play-in race between the Atlanta Hawks and the Orlando Magic for the No. 7 spot will be one to watch.
