With eight days remaining in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, the league's playoff picture is taking shape and races for seeding are heating up. Just about every team and fan is paying attention to the standings at this point,

Wednesday's nine-game slate delivered several eye-opening results, like the Miami Heat staying hot in their 21-point throttling of the Boston Celtics, the Victor Wembanyama-less, De'Aaron Fox-less San Antonio Spurs taking down the (admittedly also shorthanded) Denver Nuggets and the Washington Wizards tripping up the Sacramento Kings.

Thursday features six games on the schedule, with several key seeding matchups and clinching scenarios to monitor throughout the evening.
