It’s wild that Phoenix still has a solid chance at winning the Pacific Division despite being 7th in the West.

How things currently stand for the Suns:

• Two losses behind the Lakers, but own the tiebreaker against them.

• Three losses ahead of the Warriors, but lost the tiebreaker. Must finish ahead of GSW.

• Five losses ahead of the Clippers. If it reaches a tiebreaker, that won’t be decided until the final week because they split the season series 2-2. Second tiebreaker goes to Division Record, where Phoenix has a marginal lead.

Very likely to come down to the Lakers and Suns. Would probably lean toward Phoenix winning its ninth division title as of now.

It sure beats a thread predicting how we'll end up with the first or second pick in the upcoming draft. Thanks for posting it.

Denver has one of the toughest, if not the toughest, schedules remaining according to a few different sites (https://www.tankathon.com/remaining_schedule_strength, https://powerrankingsguru.com/nba/strength-of-schedule.php, https://craftednba.com/strength-of-schedule).

They've also been playing poorly (for them) as of late, so the path to the 6th seed may go through them. Lakers are also on the more difficult end of the SoS rankings, so they're another team to keep an eye on.
