If the playoffs started today . . .
Through Tuesday, April 18

WESTERN CONFERENCE    EASTERN CONFERENCE
1 Los Angeles The Kings are in the most unenviable position in the first round.    1 Indiana The Bucks battled so hard to get into the postseason. And they'll enjoy it so briefly.
8 Sacramento    8 Milwaukee
 
4 Phoenix The battle for the home-court advantage in this series is going down to the wire.    4 Philadelphia The health of Allen Iverson will play a large role in the outcome of this series.
5 San Antonio    5 Charlotte
 
3 Portland If the Trail Blazers don't get healthy and put their game together, the T'wolves will pounce.    3 New York Vince Carter averaged 33 points against the Knicks, and the Raptors own the season series.
6 Minnesota    6 Toronto
 
2 Utah The saying "Be careful what you wish for" could prove quite appropriate here.    2 Miami Home-court ruled this regular-season series, which the teams split two games each.
7 Seattle    7 Detroit
