Final Showdown: The West's Big Day
USASun Apr 13 2025
The last day of the regular season is here, and it's a big one for the West. Many teams are still fighting for their playoff spots. It's not just about making the playoffs. It's also about where they'll be seeded. The Clippers and Warriors are in a crucial matchup. A win for either team means they're in the top six. Lose, and they might have to fight through the play-in tournament.
The Nuggets, Wolves, Grizzlies, Kings, and Mavericks are also in the mix. They're all playing to secure their spots and maybe even some home-court advantage. The Nuggets need one more win to lock in the No. 4 spot. The Wolves are looking to make the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. The Grizzlies could go from worst to first in scoring. The Kings just need to hold off the Suns. The Mavericks are fighting for that home-court edge.
The Pistons and Bucks are wrapping up historic seasons. The Pistons are making their first playoff appearance in six years. The Bucks are on their ninth straight. Giannis Antetokounmpo is having another amazing season. He's on track to average 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists for the third time in his career. That's a rare feat. The Pistons have had a huge turnaround. They've more than tripled their win total from last season.
In the East, the playoff picture is set. But there's still some interesting matchups. The Magic and Hawks will face off in the play-in tournament. The Pacers and Cavaliers are both having great offensive seasons. The Celtics are getting ready to defend their title. The Knicks and Nets are wrapping up their seasons. The Bulls and Heat are preparing for the play-in tournament.
