Grizzlies, Pelicans eliminated from postseason contention

The Grizzlies and Pelicans have officially been eliminated from postseason contention, as noted by Hoops Rumors. 

Memphis was knocked out following a loss to San Antonio on Wednesday, while New Orleans’ hopes ended a night earlier with a loss to New York. 

That leaves the Western Conference playoff and play-in field set, at least in terms of teams.

The Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Rockets, Suns, Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Warriors will make up the top 10. 

Seeding remains fluid over the final weeks, but the group itself is now locked in.
