Final Friday Push: Playoff Seeds in Flux Across East and West

All 30 NBA teams play Friday, setting a busy stage for final seed shuffles. In the East, Boston can clinch No. 2, the Knicks can secure at least No. 3 with a win, and Toronto eyes a top-six finish, while Atlanta, Charlotte, and Orlando face play‑in implications. In the West, Denver can lock No. 3 with a win (dependent on Lakers results), the Lakers can’t drop below No. 4 with a win, and the Clippers can clinch No. 8 with a victory over Portland. Oklahoma City has already secured No. 1 but will rest key players, and marquee games include Cavaliers–Hawks, Knicks–Raptors, Thunder–Nuggets, and Clippers–Trail Blazers.
