The Western Conference playoff field has now been finalized, with the following 10 teams qualifying for postseason action:
Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, LA Clippers, and Golden State Warriors.
In the Play-In Tournament, Phoenix will host Portland in the 7-8 matchup. The winner will move on to face San Antonio in the first round as the No. 7 seed.
The losing team will get another opportunity, facing the winner of the 9-10 game between the Clippers and Warriors. That winner will secure the No. 8 seed and advance to take on Oklahoma City.
The remaining first-round matchups will see Denver hosting Minnesota, while the Lakers will face Houston.
