	Rank	Rating	Team		Record	Comment
	1 (3)	111	Cha		10-1 Cha 124, Mem 76 W Cha 110, Pho 74 W Sac 64, Cha 138 W Cha 128, LAL 81 W Cha 103, Orl 72 W Was 78, Cha 104 W LAC 98, Cha 115 W Cle 90, Cha 102 W Mem 97, Cha 111 W Cha 105, Phi 123 L Den 91, Cha 139 W	There’s a new #1 this week. Despite the injury to star Jamal Murray too. The Hornets’ top 6 guys makes it so an injury does not put them out of contention. They went on a great run last year and plan to do the same this year too. Embiid could miss some time which would definitely hurt, but this team seems bound to win a championship sometime soon if everything falls right.
	2 (1)	106	Mil		10-1 Min 95, Mil 115 W Mil 110, Was 106 W Mil 116, Cle 78 W NY 119, Mil 106 L Mil 141, NY 79 W Mil 134, Bos 103 W Mil 113, Min 90 W GS 69, Mil 139 W Mem 114, Mil 128 W Mil 157, Bkn 107 W Hou 107, Mil 119 W	I’d say the Milwaukee is the favorite for the title to win back-to-back, and that is with the youngest team in the NLL. I did not think the Bucks would be as good as they are with all of the new rookies. The Giannis at center experiment has not only worked, but has took the league by storm. I cannot imagine the future of this team with how they look already.
	3 (4)	95	Phi		9-2 Phi 104, SA 97 W Orl 75, Phi 108 W LAC 117, Phi 122 W Phi 114, Bos 121 L Det 97, Phi 127 W Phi 148, Den 89 W Ind 141, Phi 139 L Hou 119, Phi 134 W Utah 72, Phi 129 W Cha 105, Phi 123 W Phi 110, LAL 77 W	Philadelphia has had a great season, and should be fully healthy for playoffs with Zion coming back next week. The 76ers should definitely make some noise with a good starting lineup and amazing depth. With the league being so guard driven this year, it is possible that they are able to win it all with the backcourt of Lillard and Harden. The future also looks bright with rookies Tyrese Maxey and Saddiq Bey already blossoming.
	4 (6)	94	Pho		10-2 Hou 104, Pho 117 W Cha 110, Pho 74 L Pho 127, Atl 106 W Pho 144, Bkn 136 W Pho 113, OKC 103 W Pho 128, Por 80 W Bos 106, Pho 133 W Pho 126, Min 88 W LAC 112, Pho 83 L NY 112, Pho 120 W Mia 82, Pho 133 W SA 94, Pho 117 W	We have not seen much of the new look Suns with all of the injuries, but as of late they have been healthy and looked very good! The team has a good mix of veterans and youth, but two players are set to get paid this offseason. Markkanen and Trent Jr are RFAs and will likely get some pretty good money. It will be interesting to see if either are moved at the deadline or kept.
	5 (2)	86	Ind		9-3 Ind 136, GS 112 W NY 85, Ind 121 W OKC 101, Ind 128 W Min 97, Ind 132 W Ind 123, Utah 106 W Ind 141, Phi 139 W Ind 127, SA 105 W Mia 97, Ind 121 W Ind 124, Tor 131 L Ind 99, Orl 76 W Ind 121, Was 132 L Ind 112, LAC 128 L	Luka has been on another level this season, just a 3rd year player but already being in MVP talks. The passing along with scoring production is unreal, he has gone through lots of tough times too with injuries happening to his teammates quite often. He has been the reason the Pacers have had the success they have had, but I can not wait until the trio of Luka, McCollum, and Hayward have an extended period of time together.
	6 (8)	72	Hou		7-3 Hou 104, Pho 117 L SA 96, Hou 119 W Hou 116, Det 86 W Mia 94, Hou 133 W LAL 107, Hou 115 W NO 111, Hou 126 W Hou 119, Phi 134 L Chi 87, Hou 134 W Hou 107, Mil 119 L Utah 88, Hou 123 W	Jerami Grant is healthy this week, so we will see what comes of the Tobias Harris trade now. Jokic will always be a great player, he just needs to be more of a focal point of the teams offense to see the best production. The depth is overlooked with this team as they have 10 players in the Top 270 of the NBA. FA will be big with a lot of players being on expiring contracts this offseason!
	7 (9)	68	Was		7-4 Bkn 135, Was 120 L Mil 110, Was 106 L Sac 69, Was 118 W Utah 76, Was 107 W Was 103, LAL 77 W Was 78, Cha 104 L Tor 84, Was 122 W OKC 120, Was 125 W Ind 121, Was 132 W Was 121, Bos 128 L Det 107, Was 114 W	Washington acquired Norman Powell at the deadline to try and go all in to make the playoffs. With the duo of Kyrie and Simmons I can see why you would, especially with both of them healthy. Robert Williams has been a pleasant surprise too, with the big man position needing to be filled and he did just that. With the trade for Powell they gave up two young guys who were not in the rotation, Garrett Temple and their 2021 1st round pick.
	8 (21)	63	Bkn		7-4 Bkn 135, Was 120 W Utah 89, Bkn 132 W Bkn 129, Det 88 W Pho 144, Bkn 136 L Bkn 126, GS 110 W SA 116, Bkn 110 L Sac 104, Bkn 100 L Mil 157, Bkn 107 L Tor 117, Bkn 145 W Dal 130, Bkn 141 W GS 122, Bkn 127 W	Curry had a historic week averaging 50 ppg and leading the Nets to a 3-1 record on the week. The cap issues are really what has hurt them since lots of trades have hurt the quality of players on their roster. Curry and Middleton could be shopped soon, with Sabonis and Fox leading a small rebuild. They are definitely contenders, but with Fox’s extension soon to kick in it will likely have to change.
	9 (11)	59	Den		8-3 Den 101, Min 94 W Cle 82, Den 111 W Mem 101, Den 111 W Phi 148, Den 89 L Mem 124, Den 103 L Den 124, Por 103 W OKC 112, Den 120 W Den 110, LAL 102 W Utah 105, Den 107 W Mia 84, Den 101 W Den 91, Cha 139 L	Denver went and put their chips in for the playoffs getting Malcolm Brogdon along with getting Joe Ingles. Brogdon will slot in with Conley who is having a career year, and this team is in the playoffs as of right now. The pick will not be as valuable if they make the playoffs possibly changing the trade quite a bit.
	10 (7)	58	LAC		6-3 Utah 86, LAC 104 W LAC 139, Dal 72 W LAC 117, Phi 122 L LAC 108, Utah 102 W LAC 116, Dal 119 L LAC 98, Cha 115 L LAC 112, Pho 83 W LAC 118, Min 96 W Ind 112, LAC 128 W	Looks to not be much going on here with no GM still. I can’t believe nobody wants this juggernaut team! The injuries are hurting them, but long term they should be fine. Brown and Tatum along with the other great players should be enough talent to win a championship sometime. With a lot of extensions kicking in and Collins getting paid this offseason, they will need to focus on the cap situation.
	11 (16)	57	NY		7-5 NY 85, Ind 121 L Bos 121, NY 113 L NY 102, Chi 89 W NY 119, Mil 106 W Mil 141, NY 79 L Mia 100, NY 111 W Chi 77, NY 124 W Mem 93, NY 113 W NY 97, Orl 75 W NY 112, Pho 120 L GS 79, NY 111 W OKC 120, NY 110 L	New York is fully healthy now! Now the lineup they are going with this week is...interesting. Mitchell is coming off of the bench with Bol Bol starting at SF. I do not think it will be like that for long though, if Darko can figure out the best lineup and rotation they should be a playoff team. If injuries do not happen too, but Russell is good for the rest of the season so that is a good thing.
	12 (10)	56	Bos		7-4 Bos 111, Mia 116 L Bos 121, Tor 108 W Bos 121, NY 113 W Phi 114, Bos 121 W Mil 134, Bos 103 L Bos 134, Atl 94 W Det 122, Bos 101 L Bos 106, Pho 133 L Bos 122, Cle 105 W NO 92, Bos 113 W Was 121, Bos 128 W	Boston has everybody healthy now, it is a dream come true for them since they’ve had issues all season. With being fully healthy they won against the top team in the league too. The Celtics are really showing they should make the playoffs, the hard part about this is just getting a little bit lucky, with the teams in the playoff picture looking really good too. Look out for them to make an end of season push!
	13 (20)	56	Tor		7-5 Det 81, Tor 103 W Tor 122, Dal 99 W Bos 121, Tor 108 L Por 117, Tor 102 L Orl 100, Tor 115 W Atl 102, Tor 115 W Tor 84, Was 122 L GS 121, Tor 106 L Tor 119, Mia 89 W Ind 124, Tor 131 W Tor 117, Bkn 145 L Chi 97, Tor 104 W	The whole team was made available here, but nothing came of it. Aldridge retiring hurt them a lot with not being able to get anything for him and losing one of their best players. It is hard to say where the team will be going with great players for win-now, but the pick from New Orleans could choose the path with a possible rebuilding piece coming in. It will be interesting to see their offseason and how it goes for them.
	14 (5)	51	Dal		6-5 Dal 109, Chi 82 W LAC 139, Dal 72 L NO 109, Dal 101 L Tor 122, Dal 99 L Dal 118, NO 66 W LAC 116, Dal 119 W Det 116, Dal 131 W Chi 96, Dal 120 W Mem 106, Dal 139 W Dal 130, Bkn 141 L Atl 134, Dal 130 L	Dallas made a good move getting Jae Crowder the day of the trade deadline. Derozan will be a FA this offseason and is a big part of the team. The team could go into a rebuild or stay with what they got. There’s a lot of young pieces to start with if that happens. Chris Paul has a player option too, so in the worst case scenario all of the veterans could leave for nothing, but the team looks prepared for the worst.
	15 (15)	49	OKC		6-4 SA 91, OKC 93 W OKC 78, Por 73 W OKC 101, Ind 128 L OKC 113, Sac 99 W Pho 113, OKC 103 L OKC 112, Den 120 L OKC 113, Det 76 W OKC 120, Was 125 L OKC 115, Cle 90 W OKC 120, NY 110 W	OKC went through tough times, but injuries aren’t a big issue anymore with the top of roster guys being healthy. The Thunder are a good playoff team having two superstars and great role players. Kawhi recently won POTW too averaging 48.3 ppg! He’s also the scoring leader of the NLL at the moment, if he can bring that to the playoffs they will be hard to stop.
	16 (12)	39	Por		6-6 OKC 78, Por 73 L Por 125, LAL 86 W Por 117, GS 107 W Por 117, Tor 102 W LAL 125, Por 75 L NO 107, Por 90 L Pho 128, Por 80 L Den 124, Por 103 L Por 109, Chi 93 W Por 80, SA 99 L GS 102, Por 103 W Sac 91, Por 104 W	Portland made a blockbuster trade involving Andrew Wiggins at the trade deadline, getting Andre Drummond, Kevin Porter Jr, and the Knicks 2023 1st Rounder. This is massive with the potential Porter Jr has and if Drummond is resigned it makes it 100% worth it. The Blazers now have some picks to use in the future possibly too with the Spurs pick going to them this summer.
	17 (13)	37	SA		5-6 SA 91, OKC 93 L Phi 104, SA 97 L Mem 103, SA 100 L SA 96, Hou 119 L SA 101, Cle 85 W SA 116, Bkn 110 W SA 119, Min 112 W Ind 127, SA 105 L Por 80, SA 99 W Cle 86, SA 101 W SA 94, Pho 117 L	San Antonio should have their best players back for a while now, dealing with injuries earlier on. The team does not own any picks and made no moves at the deadline, but Lamelo has changed the whole franchise not needing as many moves and not needing the picks either.
	18 (17)	35	Mem		5-7 Cha 124, Mem 76 L Mem 103, SA 100 W Orl 75, Mem 98 W Mem 101, Den 111 L Det 112, Mem 105 L Mem 124, Den 103 W LAL 77, Mem 118 W Mem 93, NY 113 L Mem 110, Min 77 W Mem 114, Mil 128 L Mem 97, Cha 111 L Mem 106, Dal 139 L	Memphis made a big splash at the trade deadline, moving KAT and getting a haul in return including 2 1sts, Jaren Jackson Jr, Kelly Oubre and Kentavious Caldwell Pope. I feel it is a great return and JJJ could be the new centerpiece of the franchise. This helps them expand their assets too, which was consolidated in KAT before.
	19 (23)	30	LAL		5-7 Por 125, LAL 86 L Cle 81, LAL 120 W LAL 114, GS 94 W Cha 128, LAL 81 L LAL 125, Por 75 W LAL 107, Hou 115 L Was 103, LAL 77 L LAL 77, Mem 118 L LAL 109, Min 102 W Sac 111, LAL 118 W Den 110, LAL 102 L Phi 110, LAL 77 L	The Lakers were not very active in trades this year, but the team is waiting for Garland, Wiseman, and Wood to continue developing still. Nesmith and Vassell are the same with this year only being their 1st. The team does not have their 1st next year, which they may not have to worry too much about if everything goes well.
	20 (27)	28	Atl		4-6 Atl 109, NO 92 W Atl 106, Orl 86 W Atl 98, Mia 113 L Pho 127, Atl 106 L Atl 97, Sac 100 L Bos 134, Atl 94 L Atl 102, Tor 115 L NO 64, Atl 98 W Det 113, Atl 105 L Atl 134, Dal 130 W	Injuries have been the issue all year long, but they still find themselves in the playoff picture. TJ Warren is out for the season and Spencer Dinwiddie probably is too. The one thing keeping them alive is the depth at the top of the roster, they have 11 players in the Top 260 of the league, so even with the injuries they can still put out a good rotation.
	21 (14)	28	Det		5-7 Det 81, Tor 103 L Det 99, Orl 78 W Bkn 129, Det 88 L Hou 116, Det 86 L Det 112, Mem 105 W Det 97, Phi 127 L Det 116, Dal 131 L Det 122, Bos 101 W OKC 113, Det 76 L Chi 93, Det 131 W Det 113, Atl 105 W Det 107, Was 114 L	Detroit had a .500 week even with Ja Morant missing the games despite being healthy. It shows how good this team is and makes you wonder how good they are at full force. Detroit was looking around for trades at the deadline, but nothing came up. This team has a bright future and are looking good for now too. They have two picks for next year of teams currently in the lottery, so everything could get even better too!
	22 (19)	26	Mia		5-7 Bos 111, Mia 116 W Mia 93, GS 88 W Atl 98, Mia 113 W Mia 98, Chi 90 W Mia 94, Hou 133 L Mia 100, NY 111 L Mia 95, NO 72 W Mia 97, Ind 121 L Tor 119, Mia 89 L Mia 82, Pho 133 L Mia 84, Den 101 L Min 102, Mia 99 L	The team is fully healthy and Big Al and Jarrett Allen have now reunited! The Heat have good young talent already and 3 picks in the 2021 1st round! There have been some pleasant surprises this season for the Heat that will help their depth for the future. Ty Jerome and Jordan Poole have broke out and Terence Mann has too. The Heat have a good starting lineup with Wright, Beasley, Barnes, Horford and Allen.
	23 (24)	20	NO		4-7 Atl 109, NO 92 L Chi 97, NO 76 L Sac 70, NO 108 W NO 109, Dal 101 W Dal 118, NO 66 L NO 107, Por 90 W NO 111, Hou 126 L Mia 95, NO 72 L NO 64, Atl 98 L NO 92, Bos 113 L Utah 86, NO 94 W	New Orleans made a move to trade John Wall, Mitchell Robinson, and Hamidou Diallo for Pascal Siakam and Brook Lopez. I like it for them with getting Siakam he’s an easier contract to trade, younger, and doesn’t have quite the health concerns. The team will get Klay Thompson too next year, so they could definitely compete with Brook Lopez being a very good player too!
	24 (28)	8	Min		3-9 Utah 96, Min 103 W Den 101, Min 94 L Min 95, Mil 115 L Min 97, Ind 132 L Chi 80, Min 106 W Mil 113, Min 90 L SA 119, Min 112 L Pho 126, Min 88 L Mem 110, Min 77 L LAL 109, Min 102 L LAC 118, Min 96 L Min 102, Mia 99 W	The Timberwolves have a lot of young guys, a lot are still unproven, but there’s lots of potential there. Graham will be a FA this offseason but as an RFA and the Timberwolves have lots of money giving making it likely an easy decision to match. Kevin Love is holding them back a little with the amount of money he is owed, but he will not get in the way of these younger guys pay days so there’s no too much of a worry there. Love and Nance are great veterans to help these young guys develop.
	25 (25)	4	Sac		3-7 Sac 70, NO 108 L Sac 69, Was 118 L Sac 64, Cha 138 L OKC 113, Sac 99 L Atl 97, Sac 100 W Sac 104, Bkn 100 W Sac 111, Cle 89 W Orl 98, Sac 76 L Sac 111, LAL 118 L Sac 91, Por 104 L	Sacramento had a 3 game win streak, but JWalk slowed it down while he could so they can maintain the worst record in the league. The future looks bright, but the team is not very good right now. As long as they can maintain the worst record they will have a Top 5 pick which is the range before there is a cutoff on quality of players.
	26 (18)	-3	Cle		2-10 Cle 82, Den 111 L Cle 81, LAL 120 L Utah 110, Cle 90 L Mil 116, Cle 78 L SA 101, Cle 85 L Chi 81, Cle 119 W Cle 106, Orl 97 W Sac 111, Cle 89 L Cle 90, Cha 102 L Bos 122, Cle 105 L OKC 115, Cle 90 L Cle 86, SA 101 L	Cleveland is a big player here at the deadline. Already trading Bamba and with KAT in as their cornerstone their future looks bright. Brayden has really turned the franchise around trading away Lebron and Drummond to kickstart a rebuild. The Cavs will likely not be able to make the playoffs this year being too far back and the East being very good. The playoffs could be possible next year though!
	27 (30)	-9	GS		1-9 Ind 136, GS 112 L Mia 93, GS 88 L Por 117, GS 107 L LAL 114, GS 94 L Bkn 126, GS 110 L GS 69, Mil 139 L GS 121, Tor 106 W GS 102, Por 103 L GS 79, NY 111 L GS 122, Bkn 127 L	Golden State has made some good moves this year. Getting Cole Anthony was huge for them, as well as Melton and Milton in the trade for Norman Powell. There’s a mix of youth and veterans, but with all of their trades I can see where they are coming from. It has happened slowly, but the outlook of the Warriors looks great. This draft could be huge if they get lucky in the lottery too.
	28 (26)	-9	Orl		1-9 Atl 106, Orl 86 L Det 99, Orl 78 L Orl 75, Mem 98 L Orl 75, Phi 108 L Cha 103, Orl 72 L Orl 100, Tor 115 L Cle 106, Orl 97 L NY 97, Orl 75 L Orl 98, Sac 76 W Ind 99, Orl 76 L	Orlando is going slow with the rebuild and should be trusted as they have one of the best GMs in the history of the NLL. He knows what he is doing with trades and trading Haliburton was very good for this franchise since one player can’t build the team. It’s a rebuilding year, but the team has seen some success at times. This draft is big for them as they currently have 2 1sts in this years draft.
	29 (22)	-13	Utah		1-10 Utah 96, Min 103 L Utah 86, LAC 104 L Utah 110, Cle 90 W Utah 89, Bkn 132 L LAC 108, Utah 102 L Utah 76, Was 107 L Ind 123, Utah 106 L Utah 72, Phi 129 L Utah 105, Den 107 L Utah 88, Hou 123 L Utah 86, NO 94 L	Utah has made it known they are going into a rebuild, but have recently picked up John Wall. The team has lots of trades ready to go through with a fire sale going on right before the deadline. The Jazz have their pick and the tanking could win them the lottery to speed up the rebuild.
	30 (29)	-19	Chi		1-11 Dal 109, Chi 82 L Chi 97, NO 76 W NY 102, Chi 89 L Mia 98, Chi 90 L Chi 80, Min 106 L Chi 81, Cle 119 L Chi 96, Dal 120 L Chi 77, NY 124 L Por 109, Chi 93 L Chi 87, Hou 134 L Chi 93, Det 131 L Chi 97, Tor 104 L	This is no surprise, the Bulls have not been good lately with the injuries to Adams and Lonzo. They are now back and newly acquired Mo Bamba is healthy too, could things change in the coming weeks?
