Seeds are computed by Hoops Menu from each team's record. League tiebreakers are not applied, so a close race can order differently than the official standings. Clinch and elimination use wins alone. "Conservative" means a rival tied on wins still counts as a threat to a clinch, or a reprieve from elimination. A team is marked only once no tiebreaker could change the result.

These are the matchups the current table would produce, not a forecast. Nothing here is projected forward, and seeding moves with every result.
What the columns mean
- x
- Clinched a playoff place: the team cannot finish outside the cut even if it loses every remaining game.
- e
- Eliminated: the team cannot reach the cut even if it wins every remaining game.
- PCT
- Winning percentage, printed without the leading zero — .780 is 78%.
- GB
- Games behind the league leader for teams inside the top 8, and games behind the 8th spot for everyone chasing it — the wins and losses separating the two teams, averaged.
- REM
- Regular-season games the team has left to play.
- Playoff line
- The rule across the table marks the last place inside the cut as seeded here. League tiebreakers are not applied.
