Projecting final standings in wild West playoff chase

It's going to come down to the little things: a lucky bounce here, a sprained ankle there, a made three from the corner under pressure. Right now Houston and Golden State are playoff locks, but after that just 3.5 games separate Portland as the three seed and the Utah Jazz, currently 10th. It's going to be a coin flip at the end of the season between Houston and Golden State for the top record in the NBA.
