The NBA regular season is nearing its end with playoff spots and seedings still undecided in both Eastern and Western Conferences.
The New York Knicks are poised for a top-four seed in the East, with the Magic, Cavaliers, and 76ers competing for play-in positions.
In the West, the Pelicans currently hold the 6th seed, while the Suns, Kings, Lakers, and Warriors contest for the 7th and 8th spots.
A critical game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets is set to possibly determine the No. 1 seed in the West.
The Nuggets are 6-point favorites to win the matchup against the Timberwolves, which will be broadcast on ESPN and available for streaming on fuboTV.

Key players in the spotlight include the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid, and the Nuggets' Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
The Nuggets aim to reverse their fortunes following a previous loss to the Timberwolves in a game that is anticipated to be closely contested.
