Sub-.500 teams would make NBA playoffs in early season plan
If the season ended today the NBA playoffs would include four sub-.500 clubs: Kansas City, Golden State, Phoenix and Washington. The expanded format adds teams but excludes perennial qualifiers like the Spurs and Nuggets, with first round matchups set in both conferences and seeds influenced by division standings and head to head results. Chicago and Cleveland linger just behind in the East race, while Boston holds the top seed as Milwaukee and Atlanta jockey for higher seeding in the Central.
