Updated Magic Numbers will appear with gray background, and a green number if the team has won (or is winning) the season tiebreaker, or a red number if the team has lost (or is losing) the season tiebreaker. If the season series is not yet complete, and the final winner of the tiebreaker is yet to be determined, it will be indicated with an asterisk after the number (*).

Tiebreakers are only applied to teams with realistic playoff odds.
