The NBA All-Star Weekend is underway, and players who have not been selected have a rare break, which allows them to give themselves a break and a good rest, and injured players can also take the opportunity to recuperate. To know that many of the team's core players have suffered from injuries, which also affected the team's record in previous games, such as the Lakers and the Nets, so far this season, these two teams have similar encounters, the same has the Big Three, the team's injury problem, the lineup run-in problem, the head coach is questioned, the team's record is not good, the two teams are currently in the play-off schedule (the Lakers are ninth in the West with 27 wins and 31 losses, and the Nets are eighth in the East with 31 wins and 28 losses). If they want to get out of the playoffs or even advance to the playoffs, they need to win more in subsequent games.
Compared to the Lakers and Nets, the performance of other strong teams is much more stable, such as the Suns and Warriors in the West, who have maintained excellent performances so far this season, especially the Suns have led the standings for a long time. So far this season, they have achieved a record of 48 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the league, which has equaled the Warriors in 16 seasons and tied for first place. Unlike the West, the competition in the Standings in the East is more intense. The top teams in the standings change frequently, the Bulls, Heat and other teams take turns to occupy the top of the table, and Philadelphia, Cavaliers, and Bucks behind them are not willing to fall behind and catch up.
In the next game, each team will inevitably move towards its goal, and the team that hopes to impact better results will inevitably strive to win more games, strive for a good ranking so that the playoffs can get a better schedule, and the players on the edge of the playoffs will definitely work harder to compete for playoff spots, and the subsequent games will inevitably be more intense. After talking about the team, let's take a look at who the five data kings of the regular season so far this season are, Embiid is behind, and Paul leads the assist list.

The other two are Westbrook (12 games in the 16-17 season) and Harden (10 games in the 18-19 season), and now Harden has come to Philadelphia and Embiid has become a teammate, and Embiid has used Harden's signature move to retreat from the three points in the game.
