What do you guys think, who will secure those playoff spots?
The Brooklyn Nets have a much easier opponents if they let Kyrie and DeAndre play, but I guess they'll secure the 7th spot anyway without their big 3. And it seems that the Wizard will have a very slim chances to catch on the 8th seed behind 6 games from the Magic and Nets.
While the Western teams will surely have a tight competition on the 8th spot. Also, Pelicans going for the 8th seed is possible as they only have easier schedule compared to other teams on the bottom seed.
For the East, I'll go for the Magic to take the last spot.
For the West, I think Spurs will make it, I trust coach Pop in crucial situation like this, then they will upset the Lakers.

I doubt the Spurs, their schedule ain't easy. They're playing against the top seeded teams in the West.
Looking at how the Spurs are performing this season, It doesn't seem like they are capable of betting the Lakers in a seven game series. Yes, Pop is an outstanding coach, but It's all about team play, coaches and players must always be in sync.
