Dallas: The Mavericks will be the No. 3 seed under two scenarios: 1) if they beat New Orleans and the Lakers win; 2) if Oklahoma City loses and the Lakers win, regardless of if the Mavericks win.

L.A. Lakers: The Lakers will be the No. 3 seed only if they lose and Dallas wins.

Oklahoma City: The Thunder will be the No. 3 seed only if they win and Dallas loses, regardless of what the Lakers do.
