The playoff race in the west just got more complicated overnight. The Portland Trail Blazers now have the best starting position, but nothing has been decided yet. SPOX has the overview!
With the victory of the Trail Blazers over Dallas, in which Damian Lillard once again conjured up an uncanny 61 points, they moved up to eighth place in the west, which would give them a better starting position in the play-in tournament. However, the Suns are still undefeated and lurking. And the Grizzlies and Spurs can still hope.
Given the current situation in the table, it is already clear that there will be a play-in tournament. As a reminder, the ninth placed would have to win either twice or the eighth placed once. The first game will take place on Saturday evening at 8.30 p.m., the possible second leg would then be on Sunday at 10.30 p.m. The team that prevails wins eighth place and a first round duel against the Los Angeles Lakers. The play-in tournament will be in full length at DAZN be visible.
