The Los Angeles Lakers might have locked up top spot in the West but the rest of the seedings are still very much up in the air.
The Denver Nuggets' victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday ended their miserable run of five losses in six games and suddenly Carmelo Anthony and company do not look so adrift in the race for the number two spot.
Denver sits fifth at present and face a string of tough games in the final two weeks - but as Chauncey Billups admitted, there will be plenty of musical chairs in the rankings along the way.
The Utah Jazz leapfrogged the Dallas Mavericks into second place after the latter's loss against the visiting Orlando Magic on Thursday. But the Phoenix Suns, winners of nine straight, are also eyeing up that position.
In truth, even the Oklahoma City Thunder, now sixth, could yet rise up the standings.
Denver travels to Phoenix for its final regular season outing and few would be surprised if nothing is decided before then.
