We are well into the second half of the NBA season and the races for playoff spots are getting intense.

The good news (for some) tonight is that the defending champion Thunder are getting back their reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after he missed nine games. It’s just in time, as the Spurs are not far behind for the top spot in the Western Conference at 1.5 games back, thanks to an 11-game winning streak.

The Eastern Conference is just as competitive, as the top four teams, the Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, and Cavaliers, all have a winning record over their last ten games. Given how these teams are playing, any one of them could represent the East in the NBA Finals.
