The NBA regular season continues, and so far this season, the teams have gradually moved on the right track after continuous adjustments and run-ins, and the record in the standings has also continued to improve, but there are also some teams that are plagued by various situations within the team and their performance is still not ideal, and their ranking in the standings is not good, so what is the latest ranking of the NBA Western Conference standings? Let's take a look. The latest NBA Western Conference rankings: The Nuggets are back in second, the dark horses are in sixth, and the Warriors are unstable at 11th.
The 11th~15th are the Warriors, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies and Spurs. The Spurs finally ended their losing streak earlier, and the Lakers are the team that sends them warmth, so far the Spurs have won 4 games, against teams with a winning rate of more than 50%, you have to say that the Spurs are strong but they have suffered a wave of 19 consecutive defeats, but you have to say that they are weak and they win all the strong teams. Of course, it's impossible for Spurs to make a difference this season.
Although the Warriors are in 11th place after suffering a wave of three consecutive defeats, they are not far ahead of the other teams behind them, and they are already 1.5 wins away from the Suns in front of them, which means that the current situation of the Warriors is not ideal, coupled with the team's current problems, it is still unknown whether they can adjust as soon as possible and get out of the current trough.
The 5th~10th place in the standings are the Kings, Rockets, Clippers, Lakers, Pelicans and Suns. The Suns' Beal is injured again, yes, you heard it right, he only played one game after his comeback, and he suffered an ankle sprain in less than 5 minutes of the opening game of the second game and left the game directly, there is no news on the status of Beal's injury at present, but more importantly, in the past 8 games, the Suns have only achieved a 2-6 record, and they have also fallen into a new predicament.
The Clippers have reached 7th place in the Western Conference standings with a wave of 6 consecutive wins, their form is improving, the team's big three have played well, Harden has recovered, and Leonard has also returned to the scoring list with a strong performance. The Clippers, with the return of the Big Three, are expected to go even further this season.
After experiencing a downturn, the Rockets, a dark horse team, once again achieved a wave of 5 consecutive wins to 13-9 and ranked 6th in the Western Conference standings. It was also the second time this season that they have played a five-plus winning streak and only the fourth team in the league to do so. As one of the dark horse teams in the Western Conference standings, how far can the Rockets ultimately go this season?
1~5 in the standings, respectively, the Timberwolves, Nuggets, Thunder, Mavericks and Kings or these teams, their current position is still relatively stable, of course, the Thunder's ranking has come down, the Nuggets have come to 17-9 with a three-game winning streak in the past to chase the Timberwolves in front of them, and they are currently 2.5 wins away. It's worth mentioning that their season-to-date record is the same as last season, with the Nuggets having a 16-10 record in their first 26 games last season and one more game this season. It's just that in recent games, the star Jokic's form has fluctuated greatly, which should also be one of the problems he is currently facing.
The second-place Nuggets are only 2.5 wins ahead of the ninth-placed Pelicans, which means that the competition for the Western Conference standings is quite fierce, and who can hold on to their position in the standings will depend on whether they can win more games. The Wild West continues to play out, and it will be interesting to see who will have the last laugh.
