Interesting stat Standings after 5 games

 I have recently found a cool stat. I like looking at standings after every team has played 5, 10, 15 games etc. But I looked into this and not including the last two years (2021 the shortened season) and (2019-20 postponed due to COVID) so the three years before that 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 and take every teams first five games and place them in the playoff picture 62.5% made the playoffs after being in the playoffs after every team played five games so 5 of the 8 playoffs spots in each Conference or 10 of 16 teams in the playoffs. I will show the 18-19 stats and this seasons standings after 5 games and you tell me which 3 teams you would take out of the playoffs and which 3 you would put in.
