The regular season is over. The Cleveland Cavaliers have finished with a 52-30, which is good enough for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They will take on the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs.

Here are the final standings for each conference, with the play-in ultimately set to decide who will face the top two seeds in each. The second seed in each conference will play the winner of the 7-8 game, while the one seed will play the winner of the next game, between the loser of the 7-8 game and the winner of the 9-10 game. Eliminated teams are noted in italics.

Even though the Cavs have finished fourth in the standings, FanDuel Sportsbook currently gives them the fifth-best chance to win the NBA Finals (+1300) and the second-best odds to come out of the Eastern Conference (+290). The only team in their conference that they believe has a better chance of winning the title is the Boston Celtics (+550). The Cavs’ title odds are ahead of both the New York Knicks (+1900) and Detroit Pistons (+1900).
