Nightly Playoffs Preview: Warriors clinch No.1 seed in West, Kanter's Thunder lose to Jazz

Every night from now through April 15, the end of the NBA regular season, theScore will bring you potential playoff matchups - and teams still in the mix to qualify - based on the final nightly standings.

Here's where things stand after March 28:

Eastern Conference

• The Hawks gifted the Hornets with a win by sitting out their entire starting five. To be fair, Atlanta had just clinched the top record in the East on Friday with 2 Chainz in the building, so it was a well-deserved rest.
• The Bulls demolished the Knicks which sets a new franchise-low in New York.
• The Bucks lost to the Warriors, but they're basically locked into the sixth seed so it's not a big deal.

In the Mix

• Not much movement along the Eastern front. The Hornets beat up on the shorthanded Hawks, so they're knocking at the doorstep, along with the Pacers and Nets.
• Help might be on the way for Indiana. Paul George told reporters that he's passed all the tests.

Western Conference

• The Warriors clinched the top spot in the West with their 60th win of the year. Related: Steve Kerr's other suitor last summer was the Knicks, who set a franchise-low with their 60th loss. Good call, Stevie.
• The Thunder lost their Enes Kanter-themed grudge match against the Jazz on Saturday. Kanter dropped 18 and 11 in the loss and for his efforts, he was booed during the game and was sicked-burned by Trevor Booker after the game.
• LaMarcus Aldridge lead the Blazers with 32 points and 11 rebounds in their victory over the Denver Nuggets. Portland's magic number to clinch a playoff berth is down to one and can clinch Sunday with a New Orleans loss. 

In the Mix 

• The Thunder lost, which means the Pelicans and Suns each gain a half-game. 
• However, the Suns have a chance to move up as they face the Thunder on Sunday.
