It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown by, but NBA 2K League is now in the home stretch for the 2019 season. The Week 9 results are official and so far two of the league’s teams have qualified for playoffs spots. That said, six more teams will get into the postseason. Here we’ll take a look at how the latest NBA 2K League standings are shaping the playoff picture, as well as current stats leaders.
NBA 2K League Standings & Playoffs Picture
So far, three teams in the NBA 2K League standings have clinched 2019 Playoffs spots. The Blazer5 Gaming squad’s regular-season record of 12-1 has them qualified, while Mavs Gaming (11-2) also qualified. Meanwhile, Warriors Gaming Squad won The Ticket to qualify. That leaves five other spots for deserving teams to make it into the mix.
There are just three weeks for teams to battle their way into those six other spots. Right now, three teams are already eliminated due to their records. Sorry Knicks Gaming (2-10), Lakers Gaming (2-11) and Pistons GT (1-12), there’s always next season to get a spot with a better showing.
Here’s a look at the rest of the teams still in contention as of June 26:
- Kings Guard Gaming 9-4
- Pacers Gaming 8-4
- 76ers GC 7-4
- NetsGC 7-5
- Celtics Crossover Gaming 6-5
- Magic Gaming 6-5
- Bucks Gaming 7-6
- Cavs Legion GC 7-6
- Jazz Gaming 6-6
- Raptors Uprising 5-6
- Grizz Gaming 5-6
- T-Wolves Gaming 5-6
- Wizards District Gaming 5-7
- Hawks Talon GC 4-6
- Heat Check Gaming 4-8
While the Blazers have won 12 straight and have nothing to worry about, there are some other teams with momentum to keep an eye on. Celtics Crossover has won five-straight and if they keep up that pace, a playoff spot could be theirs. Both the Pacers and Pacers have won three in a row, while Kings Guard Gaming has two-straight and the best record outside of the qualifying top teams.

Third place goes to Blazer5 Gaming’s OneWildWalnut (13.4 rpg).
