In Week 25 of NBA Power Rankings, the playoff fields are almost completely set in both conferences and we roll out our final power rankings of the season.

The 2016-17 NBA season has finally hit its final week, with only three days of games separating us from the start of the playoffs on Saturday.

In the Eastern Conference, the No. 1 seed and Nos. 5-8 are still up for grabs. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics are both striving for that top spot, while five teams jostle for positioning in the East’s final four playoff spots.

In the West, the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers duke it out for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in their upcoming playoff series, while the rest of the conference matchups are set in stone.

As teams blatantly tank and others rest starters heading into the postseason, it can be hard to reconcile a team’s overall record and their recent play with where they truly lie in the NBA landscape.

To sort it all out, here’s a look at our final NBA Power Rankings for the 2016-17 regular season in Week 25.
