The season\u2019s outcome is still up in the air. If Portland stays in 8th position, they have two chances to win one game to advance to the 2026 NBA Playoffs via the Play-In Tournament. If they fall to 9th or 10th, they have to win two games without losing any to advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This poll question asks you to predict how the team will fare in the Play-In.
