They play each other.

Why would the non playoff teams play each other to finish out the regular season and the playoff teams play each other to finish out the regular season, what's the advantage there?

Because, as the non-playoff teams have nothing to play for, they would not be forced to risk their players just to get the NBA TV money. Them playing backups would not affect the playoff teams if they were not playing them. The playoff teams, who have something to play for, would be playing starters and could not complain that a non-playoff team could have affected the standings by playing backups against another playoff team (thereby creating an advantage for those teams).
