NBA: Predicting the final playoff seeding in the Western Conference

Predicting the NBA’s final playoff seeding in the Western Conference. 

There are now less than 20 games remaining in the regular season for most NBA teams. We’re now entering the push for the playoffs and teams will begin fighting for seeding over the next few weeks, if they can.

For the teams that can’t, mostly due to injury, they’ll be looking to get as healthy as they can heading into the playoffs. If there’s one thing that’s more important than finding the right matchup and avenue in the postseason, it’s getting there healthy.

It’ll be interesting to see how teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers (in the West) and Brooklyn Nets (in the East) tackle the last few weeks of the regular season, as they both are in playoff position battles but still need to get as healthy as they can before the start of it.

How will the top 8 shake out in the Western Conference when the playoffs begin? We predict how we expect the seeding to fall by the time the playoffs start.
