The competition in the west is too cruel, and the suspense of the 11-team melee may continue to the final round

So far, the NBA regular season has officially entered the final sprint stage, and the competition in the West is very fierce, including the competition for the regular season Western Conference championship, the top four direct places, the top six battles and play-off spots, in addition to the 4 teams that have been determined to miss the playoffs, the remaining 11 teams, the position is unstable, full of highlights.

The first is the regular season Western Conference champions, the top-ranked team can unlock all home court qualifications for the Western Conference playoffs, the Nuggets are currently in first place with a record of 51-22, and the Timberwolves and Thunder are both in a 22-2 state, but they have one game less and are temporarily behind them. The gap between the three teams is minimal, the Nuggets are stronger overall and are the defending champions, but the impact of the Timberwolves and Thunder is also strong, and the Thunder's Alexander is very likely to win the MVP honor of the regular season.

The Clippers are fourth in the West, but the position is not stable, and the Pelicans behind them are only 0.5 wins away from the Clippers after beating the Bucks, and both teams are currently 45 wins, and the Pelicans have lost one more game. In the remaining 10 rounds, the fourth place in the West, which goes straight to the playoffs and has the home court advantage in the first round, is also the focus of attention from the outside world.

Sixth in the West can go straight to the playoffs, the Mavericks, who are currently in sixth place with a five-game winning streak, with a record of 43 wins and 29 losses, and the gap between the Suns and Kings behind them is also very small, and none of these three teams want to play an extremely brutal play-off tournament, so the rest of the regular season must be fully committed.

The tenth in the West can participate in the play-offs, and the Warriors are currently 1 win ahead of the Rockets, it is worth mentioning that the Warriors won 2 consecutive wins and withstood the pressure at critical moments, while the Rockets won a wave of 10 consecutive wins, which is the longest winning streak in the league at present, and the two teams will go head-to-head next, and it is very likely to keep the suspense until the final round.
