OKC Thunder: final games updated with times and TV partners

Information on times and television partners was announced with the OKC Thunder one of the National TV games.

As the NBA regular season draws to a close the 22 teams in the Disney bubble have one or two games remaining over the next three days. The OKC Thunder play tonight versus the Miami Heat and again on Friday versus the Clippers.

The exception is the two teams who finish in eighth and ninth in the Western Conference. Those teams will participate in the play-in tournament and play once or twice. If the eighth seed wins the first game that will secure the eighth seed. If the ninth-place team wins the first game the two teams will play again to determine who will move on to play the Lakers.

The NBA waited to provide the final details for the last game every team would play. This was so they could feature teams who are still fighting for positioning on the playoff ladder and the teams still fighting to get into the play-in tournament.

To that end, four teams are still alive in the West to capture the seventh and eighth seeds. Those clubs are the Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs.

Four teams in the East have clinched their specific seeds and know their first-round opponents. the Milwaukee Bucks will play the Orlando Magic as the one versus eight first-round series while the Toronto Raptors will play the Brooklyn Nets as the two versus seven series.

The Lakers and Mavericks are locked into the first and seventh seeds but don’t know their opponent yet.
