In the West, the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers are battling for the third or fourth seed, and the Portland Trail Blazers and LA Clippers are fighting for eighth or ninth. The slate carries major implications for the play-in tournament, which begins April 14.
Eastern teams like the Atlanta Hawks can lock in the fifth or sixth spot, while the Hornets and Heat fight for ninth or 10th. Western outcomes will help finalize first-round matchups after the play-in, with no full playoff series set yet entering the day.
