Who gets the 8th seed out West?

Portland is a hot mess right now. In a fight with other bad teams like Denver, Sacramento, and the Pelicans?

Who you got?

Right now the Kings are tied for 8th with Denver. Both are 14-19. Portland and New Orleans are a game back with a record of 14-21.

I'm going with: Not the Lakers.

Minny isn't that far off the pace if they could ever clean their defense up just a tad but I'll say New Orleans.

I'll go New Orleans for the Davis factor and the Davis factor alone.

Dallas Mavericks getting hot and the right time of the season to make a move for that 8th spot!

What....they won last night, didn't they? A 1-game win streak is considered "hot" in Dallas this year!

It will still be Portland, they are too good to stay under .500 and I don't see any other team in the bottom 7 or the Kings being a .500 team at the end.

I've picked Denver for like the last 20 years and will continue to stubbornly hold on to that. If they can figure out how to play semi-decent defense and stay healthy, they should be able to nab that spot.

Going to be fun to see who gets it. Still looks like a non-.500 team gets into the playoffs in the West this year.
