NBA Power Rankings February 24th 2020

Still a lot of noise in the Post Deadline (PD) rankings, so take with a grain of salt.  Like how the Nets have the third best ranking.  They've played 5 games since the 8th, with a couple of blow out wins and a tight loss to the Raptors.  They've been playing much better over that stretch, so its possible this is a big upswing for them.  I just wouldn't call them contenders yet.

NBA Predictions Feb. 20th to Feb 23rd 2020

Short week this week to get back on track from the NBA All Star Break.  As we start adding in some data from post deadline to see how some teams look with their new lineups, we'll start seeing some jumps from certain teams like the T-wolves that really shook up their roster.  Saturday night is looking like the best night, as we get a Bucks Sixers match up and a Jazz Rockets game.
