The Clippers held steady fourth, and the Suns rushed to the top six, adding another team to the game
The NBA regular season continues, and another game day is over, and the past two game days have changed to varying degrees for the Western Conference standings, but after this game day, many teams have stabilized their standings by winning, so let's take a look at the latest rankings. The Clippers held steady fourth, and the Suns rushed to the top six, adding another team to the game.
The 11~15 places in the standings are the Rockets, Jazz, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Spurs. At present, only the Rockets still have the possibility of going further, and several other teams are destined to accompany them. The Grizzlies, who had been left in the squad earlier, played well against the Warriors. The team's Jaren Jackson, Jackson II and Aldama all played well, and Jackson became the youngest player in history to make seven three-pointers in a single game. However, they still suffered a four-game losing streak, and after losing the game, the Grizzlies should miss out on the play-in tournament and the opportunity to compete early. At present, the last three teams in the West have all been out of the tournament early, and the Rockets are still three wins behind the Warriors. Of course, as far as the follow-up situation is concerned, it is not very likely that the rocket in the residual state will go further.
The 6~10 places in the standings are the Kings, Mavericks, Suns, Lakers and Warriors. The Lakers and Warriors are still battling it out for the ninth place in the play-in tournament and they want to go further, but the Suns are catching up with the Kings in front of them after winning the game earlier. The Warriors defeated the remnants of the Grizzlies and won the game. The team's duo of Wiggins and Kuminga have both played well, and if they can maintain this output in the future, then the Warriors are also very promising to move further in the standings, and they are currently only 0.5 wins behind the Lakers in ninth place.
The Suns, on the other hand, are 0.5 wins behind the sixth-place Kings after the victory, and the Kings, Mavericks and Suns will compete for a direct playoff spot. Now that these teams are also out of injury troubles, who do you think will eventually get a straight playoff spot? Interestingly, Irving is in Ramadan on the Mavericks' side, and the team has specially assigned him a chef so that he can eat in time. That's why Owen played well during Ramadan.
Standings 1~5 Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Clippers and Pelicans, these 5 teams are also divided into two levels of the top three teams, one level Clippers and Pelicans, one level of the top three teams. The Pelicans, who have won three in a row, are still looking to challenge for the fourth place in the standings, and after the Clippers won the game, they temporarily extended their lead to one victory. In this game, Harden, Leonard and George took over a quarter of the game, and they won the game easily. Barring any surprises, the two teams will go head-to-head in the first round.
If the top three teams in the standings compete, it is likely to depend on the ranking of their subsequent opponents, after all, there are still changes in the rest of the standings, and the difference in the number of wins and losses between them is also very small. Kanazawa is back in second place in the standings and is once again aiming for the top spot, after all, it doesn't matter much to them where they are in the standings. With the Thunder and Timberwolves as a team with young players at the core, which team do you think can go further?
