On March 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to be hot. The Suns, Warriors, Grizzlies, Lone Rangers, Heat, Celtics, Cavaliers, Raptors and other powerful teams have staged duels against each other's opponents. There are not many regular season games left, and the battle for playoff spots has shown a white-hot trend.

The Lakers are back in the play-off area
The Grizzlies narrowly beat the Spurs 112-111 to achieve six straight wins. The Grizzlies cemented the league's Second Place finish, while the Spurs missed a five-game winning streak. After the Spurs lost, the record reached 31 wins and 45 losses.

After the Spurs lost, the ranking dropped from 10th in the West to 11th. The Lakers (31-44) led by James and Westbrook surpassed San Antonio to become the 10th with a 0.5-win advantage. Purple and Gold Legion, back in the play-off area. The Lakers still retain the hope of advancing to the playoffs.
The Lakers return to 10th in the West
However, in the case of Anthony Davis and LeBron James continuing to miss due to injury, the Lakers are still very difficult to impact the playoffs.
The Warriors suffered a double whammy
In the first place, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Spurs, and the record reached 54-23. The Grizzlies are already 5.5 wins ahead of the Warriors (48-28), and with the Warriors just six regular season games left (the Suns vs Warriors game in progress), the Golden State has struggled to surpass Memphis' current rankings. The Warriors' regular season ranking is likely not in the top 2 in the West. It was a big blow for the Warriors, who aspired to win the championship.

In the second place, the Lone Ranger narrowly defeated the Cavaliers 120-112, and the record reached 48 wins and 29 losses, continuing to rank 4th in the West. The Lone Rangers, who achieved three consecutive wins, were only 0.5 wins behind the Warriors, who lost three straight. Once the Dallas crowd will continue to maintain a winning streak and the Warriors will not be able to get out of the haze of defeat, the Golden State is likely to continue to decline in the rankings. It is worth mentioning that the Warriors only lead the 6th Jazz in the West by 3 wins. If they continue to lose, the Warriors may even fall into the playoff zone.

The successive victories of the Grizzlies and the Lone Rangers have caused the Warriors to suffer a double whammy. The Golden State Army's current situation has become even more difficult.

Nets 1 happy 2 worries

The Knight is no match for the Lone Ranger
At the same time, Brooklyn has two major troubles.
The Raptors beat the Timberwolves 125-102 to cement their 6th place in the East. The Raptors, who have won four consecutive games, have reached 44 wins and 32 losses. The Raptors have already led the Nets by four wins, and with only 6 regular season games left, Brooklyn, led by Irving and Durant, is difficult to erase the win gap with Toronto. The Nets, who struggle to qualify for the top 6 in the East, are likely to need to compete for playoff spots through playoffs. For the Nets, earning playoff spots through playoffs will make the road to the championship more bumpy.
