Dallas is 3rd, 3 points ahead of LA who have two games left.
It’s totally conceivable they could drop to 4th and in a 1v8 playoff seeding scenario would face the Avs anyway.
As of right now, Carolina and Florida would be the matchup in the East as well.
Contenders face each other in the first round regardless.
