NBA Playoff picture: Standings, seeds, schedules for each team heading into last days of 2022-23 season

The 2022-23 NBA season is almost over, but the standings — and playoff matchups — are far from set.

This is the third season of the NBA's postseason format as we know it, where the top six seeds in each conference clinch a playoff spot and teams seeded 7 through 10 battle for the final two playoff spots in the NBA's Play-In Tournament.

While we have an idea of where the NBA's elite teams will land, there are a total of 23 teams in postseason contention entering the final week of the season, a testament to the parity in the league this year.

Who will those top teams meet in the NBA Playoffs? Here's a snapshot of the playoff picture heading into Wednesday night's games.
