Looks like the Spurs have the tiebreakers so if they remain tied at the end of the season The Spurs would be in and the Lakers out.
Lakers have a super tough schedule down the stretch
The margin for error for every team is razor thin. Seed 3 thru 7 could be completely flipped and shaken by the end. If the Lakers want to get in they will simultaneously help the Wolves cause.
If Dallas loses out and Wolves win out they will finish tied in the standings. A 2 way tie goes to Dallas with a better conference record. But if it becomes a 3 way tie between Dallas, Denver, and Minnesota it appears the Wolves will win with the best head-to-head-to-head record.
The Wolves went 5-3 in total
Mavs were 4-3 since they only played Denver 3 times
Nuggets are then 2-5 in those games.
