NBA Playoff Race Update: The Milwaukee Bucks Punch Their Ticket
A few days ago, the Bucks became the first team in the Association to clinch a playoff berth. Which other playoff odds shifted across the NBA this week?

Western Conference - Dead or Dying

(11) Minnesota Timberwolves (29-34, 1.4%)
(12) New Orleans Pelicans (30-36, 1.6%)
(13) Dallas Mavericks (27-36, 0.1%)
(14) Memphis Grizzlies (25-40, 0.0%)
(15) Phoenix Suns
(14-51, 0.0%)

The Timberwolves, Pelicans, and Mavericks were all clinging onto slim playoff hopes last time around, but it's time to come to grips with the fact that it ain't happening for them at this point.

The 'Wolves are only half a game behind the Lakers and actually have a higher playoff probability (1.4% to 0.8%), but with six games and three teams separating Minny from the eighth and final playoff spot, there's not much hope left to hold onto.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies and Suns remain very much out of the conversation.
