Update:

Although in the West, three teams don’t know yet which place on the standings they will finish, so Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors, and the LA Clippers will have to wait until the end of the regular-season game to find out their seeding, the Eastern Conference already knows their play-in tournament match-ups.
