At the time of andyblarsen writing this, the number of games that separate the 4th seed and the 12th seed in the West is just four. One thing is for sure: it’s an exceptionally crowded Western Conference playoff race.

The Utah Jazz host the San Antonio Spurs, NBA basketball in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023.As I write this, the number of games that separate the 4th seed and the 12th seed in the West is just four. It’s remarkable to have nine teams within four games this late in the season. Furthermore, a 10th team, the Portland Trail Blazers, is within striking distance, too, just two games back of the pack and three games out of a playoff spot.

And according to oddsmakers, the Jazz are pretty darn unlikely to make it into that level of competition this season. Right now on sports betting sites like FanDuel, if you spend $100, you can win $980, or an implied 9% chance that the Jazz make the playoffs. But Inpredictable’s do.

FanDuel, for example, says you’d only win $165 on a $100 bet the Jazz make the play-in, an implied 38% probability. Meanwhile, DraftKings would pay you $280 for the same bet, or an implied 26% chance.
