1. San Antonio (2-1; +14)

2. Oklahoma City (2-1; +18)

4. Los Angeles Lakers (2-2; -24)

West Group B is the group to watch on Tuesday night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have the easiest path to a victory against the Utah Jazz, while the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns play each other.

San Antonio wins the group if it beats Phoenix since it would then have head-to-head wins over the Thunder and Suns.

Oklahoma City captures the group title with a win and a Phoenix victory because it already beat the Suns in group play.

All three of those teams will be rooting for the Memphis Grizzlies to beat the Dallas Mavericks and for Sacramento to upset Portland so that there is a better path to the wild-card spot for the second-place finisher.

OKC is the likeliest group winner, though, since a full-strength Phoenix team should take down the Spurs.

Prediction: 1. OKC, 2. Phoenix, 3. San Antonio, 4. LA Lakers, 5. Utah
