The west does seem like more the wildcard at this point. The east seems like it's relegated to either Boston or the Bucks. I really can't see anyone else truly challenging. Sixers are interesting because embid can straight dominate but injuries. But 1-10 in the west it feels like such a coin toss. Gonna be a good playoffs out west this year.

Yes, if only Joel didn't get injured, it will be a good competition as well in the West, Boston, the Bucks and the Sixers trying to fight for the top spot. But it seems that Boston is taking it already, they are ahead by big margin and the Bucks losing tonight against the Warriors to also snap their winning streak after the all star break.

And with that huge win by the Warriors, they are still in the playoff fight or at least play-in. But it's not that big difference in total wins in the West as everything can change in a month as who will make it straight right in the playoffs.

I agree to that as Boston really dominated the East side and they've got a huge margin from the 2nd spot, if only Embiid didn't suffer from that injury it might be another team aside from the Bucks who can tailed the dominance of Boston but regular season is not the important part of the league it's the playoffs and we know that the East defending champs always got something to excite the fans, especially now that they are forming new sets of skills stars, I think they can still bring that winning mentality.

Looks like we may possibly have a preview of the NBA Finals tonight as the Denver Nuggets face off against the Boston Celtics on national TV. Luckily this one will be on TNT so we can have a chance to watch. Sure, Denver is number 3 in the west right now, but they’re the defending champs. Denver hasn’t been playing great lately though, so I think Boston might take this one.

Yeah, TNT. I will definitely watch this later.

They are okay, it's the defense that is lacking and the bench power. Then in their past games, it was Michael Porter Jr. that is missing in action, but now he is back to his own self again. Last time he made 10/10 field goals against the Lakers and in the game against the Suns he scored 20 points. He is getting there, getting the confidence back after being criticized as an inconsistent player. Those back surgeries did affect him pretty much.

And in their battle against the Suns, the Nuggets somehow found a way to get back from a 22 point lead deficit. That's big, although they ended up losing in overtime.
They need Jokic to start hot, either in making an assist or in dominating the paint. Jamal Murray is playing like playoff Murray again so the Nuggets just need more of the push in defense so they can get stops. Also, the bench should step up their game like what Peyton Watson is doing on the defensive end averaging 1 block per game.

This will be fun to watch. Who will D Jokic? I am betting for his props here.

A preview of a possible NBA finals, if both teams will continue to domnate both sides of the league, though it's still in a regular season I hope pride will be there on both teams, I like all the stars to comes out and bring everything here, not sure why Denver is a slight favorite here, seems interesting to place a bet for x2 odd. Good luck!
