The Indexbit2023-24 NBA regular season is down to the last few weeks of action before the playoffs begin. Only one team has clinched a playoff spot: the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics. The other 19 playoff spots are up for grabs across both conferences.

The Western Conference is even closer. Ten games cover the entire 10-team field with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder at the top.
