With just days remaining in the 2025-26 NBA regular season, the playoff bracket is nearly set. The Boston Celtics have clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Oklahoma City Thunder hold the number one position out West after a dominant 62-win campaign.
The play-in tournament picture remains fluid, with the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, and Atlanta Hawks all fighting for the final two spots in the East. In the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are locked in a tight battle for the sixth seed and home-court advantage in the first round.
Several key matchups this week could reshape seeding, including a Wednesday showdown between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves that will determine the three-four matchup out West.
