NBA Playoff Picture: If The Season Ended March 20, 2018
Eastern Conference Major Changes 3/20/18: Washington and Indiana swapped seeds; that’s it. Milwaukee is six games clear for eighth place, so this really isn’t much of a race.
Western Conference Major Changes 3/20/18: Utah is a newcomer to the playoff picture whereas the LA Clippers fell out of the mix, now two games behind Minnesota. Seeds four through eight in the West are separated by two and a half games total.
Eastern Conference Changes 3/8/18: Toronto clinches berth; Philadelphia and Miami up; Milwaukee down.
Western Conference Changes 3/8/18: Portland and New Orleans up; San Antonio and Minnesota down; LA Clippers in; Denver out.

Western Conference Changes 2/28/18: Seeds 3 through 8 shuffled; Los Angeles Clippers replace Denver Nuggets in field.
