We have now entered a period full of hypotheticals when nearly every result is put under further inspection as the Trade Deadline is less than a month away. Every game result seems more consequential and even individual performances take on added weight as general managers around the league take note of needs and ways to address them.

They’ve unfortunately kept themselves in neutral however as they lost another winnable game against a team ahead of them in the Wild Card standings.
