With the 2023-24 NBA trade deadline behind us, the race for the postseason is heating up.
In the West, the battle for the No.1 seed is closer than ever with the Minnesota Timberwolves recently reclaiming the top spot by only one game. Day by day, teams in the middle are jostling for position, and the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are trying to hold on to a play-in spot.
In the East, the race is for the No. 2 spot, with the Boston Celtics separating themselves significantly from the rest of the pack and topping our Power Rankings for 13th week in a row.
