This is everything that is at stake in the last two rounds of the regular season

Exciting scenario unfolding in the last two days of competition in a NBA filled with uncertainties to resolve. The 20 teams heading to the postseason are already known, but the way they are organized will be crucial in shaping each one's aspirations. We analyze everything in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference.

Intense emotions approaching in the NBA with the two remaining games for all teams in the competition. There are significant stakes in both Conferences, so it's worth outlining clearly to grasp the magnitude of what is at stake in these upcoming days. Oklahoma City Thunder might be the top team, but the path to glory for them and other contenders will be influenced by these two days.

Eastern Conference

Knowing that Pistons and Celtics are set as the top two favorites, it remains to be seen if the New York Knicks can secure a third place that would allow them to avoid facing the Pistons in hypothetical semifinals. They will battle it out with Cleveland Cavaliers, and both teams will be keeping an eye on what Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors do, preferring the Canadians as first-round rivals over the others. 

Moreover, the key battle is to avoid the play-in between Hawks, Raptors, Magic, Sixers, and Hornets. Georgia and Toronto have the upper hand, while the other franchises will aim to add victories to secure a privileged position in what promises to be a highly demanding play-in.

Western Conference

The main focus will be on determining which two franchises out of Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Houston Rockets will have home-court advantage in the first round. Colorado needs a win to secure a third place that would lead them to face the Timberwolves in the first round, while Lakers and Rockets battle it out for a direct duel with the advantage of playing an extra home game. Additionally, Clippers and Trail Blazers will contend for the eighth spot in the play-in.
