NBA playoff play-in scenarios: Blazers, Suns and Grizzlies updates

The final spot in the Western Conference playoffs will come down to a weekend play-in scenario in which the No. 9 seed will have to win two games against the No. 8 seed -- Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET on ABC and, if necessary, Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET on ABC -- to make the postseason and set up a first-round meeting with the No. 1-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. The No. 8 seed will need to win only once to advance.

Those matchups are still up in the air. The Memphis Grizzlies have officially clinched a spot in the play-in, while the San Antonio Spurs have been eliminated.
