Rows follow the playoff format: each division's top three, then the wild-card race, with the red line at the cutoff. The same columns as the standings; hover a heading for its definition.
Projected 83–93 points (middle half of seasons; median 88, 10th–90th percentile 78–98). The cutline, the fewest points among the conference's playoff teams, is usually 93–96 (median 95, 92–97). Reaching that season's cutline (25.4% of seasons) isn't quite making the playoffs (22.9%): tiebreakers and the division format decide the edge cases.
