The dregs of the season are upon us and the strange beast that is January basketball in the NBA is here. We’ve seen the 19-29 Pelicans beat not just the Spurs but also the Cavaliers (without Anthony Davis against Cleveland) in the past week. The Warriors also lost to the Heat within the past week. The Rockets were the hottest team in the NBA from December 1st to January 10th but have gone just 4-7 since. And the Wizards, previously a mediocre 19-18, are the only team that doesn’t play in Oakland to have won at least eight of their last ten.
