In the NBA's Western Conference, a thin ice race is also being held to rank sixth.

U.S. sports media ESPN paid attention to the fierce competition for the NBA's Western Conference to advance to the playoffs this season on the 7th (Korea time). "The rankings of the 3rd seed to the 8th seed are reversed almost every day, and these teams are concentrated within 1.5 games at most," the media said. "We should pay attention to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles (LA) Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. They are all fiercely competing for the 6th seed and fighting to avoid the play-in tournament (PIT)."

The top six teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences will advance to the first round in the NBA Playoffs. The teams ranking 7th to 10th will then play PIT to advance to the PO. The winners of the 7th to 8th positions will immediately settle down as the 7th seed. The winners of the 9th to 10th positions will meet the losers of the 7th to 8th positions and compete for the 8th seed.
As the media explained, the competition for the sixth seed in the Western Conference is fierce. As of the end of the 7th, the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State, Minnesota, and Memphis all recorded 46 to 48 wins. If you fall behind in this competition, you should face PIT. As of the end of the 7th, Minnesota and Memphis are ranked 7th and 8th.

The media predicted, "The drama of the Western Conference is likely to continue until the last day of the regular league."

One of the fans' concerns is the final ranking of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers improved their performance significantly after acquiring Luca Doncic in a trade during this season. Currently, the Lakers are ranked third, but there is a possibility that they can finish eighth depending on the remaining results. What matters is to finish fourth or higher with home advantage. Media outlets noted that the Lakers are second in home win percentage in the Western Conference. Lakers coach J.J. Redick also said, "It's not just because I'm good at home, but it's also because I can rest at home for nine to 10 days after the final game of the regular league." 토토사이트

Golden State's final result is also a matter of interest. Golden State has established a new triangle formation called Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler. However, if the regular league ends like this, it will have to face the Lakers from the first round. If the ranking drops further, there is also a risk that it will face the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranking No. 1 in the Western Conference. Oklahoma ranks first overall in the NBA's East and West. The media diagnosed that it would be better to avoid the best team in the league than to meet the best team in the first round.

Finally, the media shed light once again, saying, "There is bad news for teams competing for PO in the Western Conference. Less than a week is left until the end of the regular season, but little is confirmed except that Oklahoma ranked first." The NBA regular league will end on the 14th.
