Chances are that provided the Jazz win out and keep the one seed, that when the play-in dust is settled, we’ll get the Warriors first round and the Suns will play the Lakers. This assumes that the Lakers stay at 7 and beat the Warriors at home in their play-in. It also assumes that the Warriors then beat the Griz or Spurs at home in game 3 of the play-in. So we’ll either get the Warriors all beat up or battle tested, depending on how you want to look at it. (This all depends on the Warriors beating the Griz in the last game of the season at home however)
Regarding the Lakers, they can win out, but do not control their destiny. The Nuggets will likely lose to the Blazers on Sunday to avoid having to play the Lakers 1st round. And the Mavs have the Timberwolves last game which shouldn’t be problematic. The Blazers have the tiebreaker and Dallas will be out of reach.
