NBA: 14 playoff spots still up for grabs entering final weekend

Two days left. Fourteen NBA playoff spots still undecided.

Yeah, the league isn’t lacking drama heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

The league shared a graphic Friday highlighting just how wide open things remain across both conferences. And the message is pretty simple: Nothing’s settled.

In the West, the Thunder have locked up the top seed, but beyond that, it’s a scramble. Teams like the Nuggets, Lakers and Rockets are still jockeying for position.

Over in the East, it’s just as tight.

The Pistons sit at No. 1, while seeds for the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers are all still very much in play depending on how things break over the final two games.

And then there’s the middle. That’s where things really get messy.

From about fourth through the play-in line, it’s a full-on traffic jam. One win. One loss. That’s all it takes to shift a matchup… or a season.

And this is what the NBA wants this time of year: Chaos.
