Remaining schedules:
Blazers: @HOU, @SA, @DEN, vs UTA. Brutal, and Lillard has a severe ankle sprain that will likely keep him out of all 4 games. Their hold on a top 4 seed isn't very safe even with a 3-game cushion in the loss column.
Jazz: vs LAC, @LAL, vs GS, @POR. Not too bad and the Jazz are red hot. They should finish 3rd or 4th.
Spurs: @LAL, vs POR, vs SAC, @NO. Only one tough game, the Spurs are playing great at home and get the Blazers without Lillard. The Spurs shouldn't drop to 6th but might have a hard time getting above 5th.
Pelicans: vs MEM, @PHO, @GS, @LAC, vs SA. The Warriors, like the Rockets, are not yet resting everyone even with seeding locked up. The Clippers likely won't have anything to play for by the time that matchup happens, so 3-1 in the first four of those sounds right. That last game will be YUGE for both teams.
Thunder: @HOU, Mia, vs MEM. The Heat have a playoff spot locked up but can't crack the top 4. They might actually semi-tank to avoid Cleveland in round 1. The Rockets have been up and down but Harden is still playing just about every game so the Thunder should be underdogs in that game.
Wolves: @DEN, @LAL, vs MEM, vs DEN. Those games with Denver will be dogfights and if either team loses both matchups it will probably mean the 9th seed.
Nuggets: vs MIN, @LAC, vs POR, @MIN. See above.
Clippers: @UTA, vs DEN, vs NO, vs LAL. Last night's loss notwithstanding there isn't much to worry about here. They should be eliminated from playoff contention by the end of the week. They can be a serious spoiler though.
Utah and Portland should get the 3 and 4 seeds in some order. The Spurs shouldn't fall below 6th given their schedule, though another loss to the Lakers would be brutal. I fully expect them to win the two home games but drop the season finale.
