Projecting the NBA Western Conference playoffs seeds

#3 - Portland Trail Blazers (currently 44-26, 3rd)

The Trail Blazers are the hottest team in the NBA right now

During their current 13-game winning streak, the Portland Trail Blazers have risen up to 3rd in the Western Conference. The last time Portland lost was on 11 February, and at the time, they were 6th in the West.

Portland does have seven road games left on the schedule and still has to play some tough teams such as Houston, Oklahoma City, and Boston. But they also have a winning record on the road (19-15), so I don't see them moving out of the 3rd seed in the final month.
