NBA Power Rankings March 2nd 2020

Things are starting to harmonize a bit more this week, as we got a full slate of games in to help with he post trade deadline numbers.  Teams that we expected to be in the mix near the top like the Clippers got past a few game skid to return to the top 10, while Denver and Utah have continued to struggle at times.  The Pelicans continue to see a surge from the return of Zion Williamson, and might be close to being able to jump into the playoff race after being thought for dead.  The Heat have suffered the worst since the end of the deadline of teams with playoff aspirations.  -7 in their season long vs second half rating, some inexcusable losses to the Cavs and Hawks have dimmed them, as well as the Jazz and T-Wolves continued slides.
