NBA Rankings - 1 Apr

There are 11 days left in the regular season, and the Golden State Warriors have practically locked down the top spot in the rankings and the standings. There are still 4 playoff spots open in the East, with 7 teams still in the running, but only 1 spot left in the West, with 5 teams mathematically alive but only 2 with a realistic chance. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
