The Grizzlies will have the sixth seed.
Raptors 87, Pistons 78
In Toronto, Donyell Marshall had 27 points and 16 rebounds as Toronto ended Detroit's eight-game winning streak.
Detroit's Ben Wallace became the first player in league history to have four consecutive seasons of at least 1,000 rebounds, 100 steals and 100 blocks. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon and Sam Lacey all did it three times.
At 54-28, Detroit finished third in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons won't know who they will face in the playoffs until Wednesday night.
Vince Carter added 19 points for the lottery-bound Raptors, who end their season at Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
Clippers 98, Suns 96
In Phoenix, Chris Wilcox's rebound basket at the final buzzer snapped the Los Angeles Clippers' 13-game losing streak with a win over Phoenix.
Wilcox, who scored a career-high 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench, put the Clippers up 96-93 on a tip-in with 16.2 seconds to play.
Shawn Marion sank his fourth 3-pointer of the fourth quarter with 16.2 seconds remaining to tie it at 96-96. Quentin Richardson drove the lane but missed, and Wilcox kept the ball alive with several tips inside before getting one to fall.
Elton Brand had 30 points and 11 rebounds for Los Angeles, which blew a 15-point second-half lead before pulling it out.
Lakers 109, Warriors 104
In Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant bounced back from one of the least productive games of his career to score a season-high 45 points as the Los Angeles Lakers beat Golden State.
The victory was just the second in five games following an 11-game winning streak for the Lakers (55-26) and lifted them into a tie for the division lead with Sacramento.
Since the Kings hold the tiebreaker by virtue of winning the season series 3-1, the Lakers can win the division title only if they win at Portland and the Kings lose at Golden State in the regular-season finales Wednesday.
Bryant shot 14-of-29 and made 17 of 18 free throws in surpassing his previous season-high by one. He scored seven points in the last 20 seconds, and also had seven rebounds and eight assists.
