We see though a much changed landscape from just a few weeks ago. Despite still slipping from pre- deadline heights, the Thunder and Celtics both have righted the ship it appears and are trending back upwards. The Spurs, who on March 13th were smashed by the Rockets n a 16 point loss are 8-2 and pounded the Rockets back for a 17 point win on Sunday. The Wizards are in the opposite boat, going 2-5 in their last 7. They rank 20th in true shooting over that period, and for a team that really thrives on offense to carry a middle of th pack defense, that's not good enough.
In terms of playoff hunt the Pistons in the East have been slightly warmer this past week, but might have done too much damage to themselves before to overtake Miami or Milwaukee. In the Wets the Nuggets have cooled despite owning the past TS% over the past 7 games, thanks to a 113 DRtg over the same period. They are a game ack of the Pelicans, who have been so good post deadline, but both have a chance if the T-Wolves continue to struggle.
