The 2014 NBA regular season comes to an end on Wednesday night, which means we will officially know all of the opening round match ups. We have a good idea of what the seeds will be when the playoffs begin, but nothing will be set in stone until the final whistle blows on Wednesday.

While we prepare for the NBA postseason to start, let’s take a look at the current conference rankings. The seeds that are locked in will be in bold.

**Current NBA Playoffs Projections**
Team 1	Record	Team 2	Record
Eastern Conference
No. 1 Indiana Pacers	55-26	No. 8 Atlanta Hawks	37-44
No. 2 Miami Heat	54-27	No. 7 Charlotte Bobcats	42-39
No. 3 Toronto Raptors	48-33	No. 6 Washington Wizards	43-38
No. 4 Chicago Bulls	48-33	No. 5 Brooklyn Nets	44-37
Western Conference
No. 1 San Antonio Spurs	62-19	No. 8 Memphis Grizzlies	49-32
No. 2 Oklahoma City Thunder	58-23	No. 7 Dallas Mavericks	49-32
No. 3 Los Angeles Clippers	57-24	No. 6 Golden State Warriors	50-31
No. 4 Houston Rockets	54-27	No. 5 Portland Trail Blazers	53-28

The Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks in the East and Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers in the West are the only match ups from the first round that are currently locked in, so we will have to patiently wait to see how the seeds are finalized.
