    Brooklyn Nets
    Toronto Raptors
    Charlotte Hornets
    Washington Wizards

    ==========
    Other than the Bucks moving up a spot . . . I don't think much changes by the end of the season

    1[​IMG]Oklahoma City Thunder
    2[​IMG]Memphis Grizzlies
    3[​IMG]Denver Nuggets
    4[​IMG]Houston Rockets
    5[​IMG]Los Angeles Lakers
    6[​IMG]LA Clippers
    7[​IMG]Minnesota Timberwolves
    8[​IMG]Dallas Mavericks
    9[​IMG]Sacramento Kings
    10[​IMG]Golden State Warriors
    Phoenix Suns
    San Antonio Spurs
    Portland Trail Blazers
    Utah Jazz
    New Orleans Pelicans

    Who knew Pelicans would be cellar dwellars
    Spurs maybe able to get to the Play in . . Who drops though? Golden state or the Kings
    .I expect the Timberwolves to rise at some point - Which I think they over take the Clippers unless KAwhi comes back as all world Kawhi


    I think there are some games left but not expecting much movement. before all star break

    In the West, OKC is a huge favorite and I think Denver is the only team that can knock them off. The Grizzlies are too flaky, and the Lakers won't be able to sort things out until next season. If everything goes right for them (LOL!), I could see the Clippers being the 3rd best team in the WC.
    Nobody else is legit.

    In the East, it's a two-way battle between the Cavs and Celts. Assuming the Cavs continue winning, they'll have an easy path to the ECFs while the Celts must beat the Knicks. After those 3, I'm not sure any other team in the EC would even make the playoffs if they were in the west.
