With the NBA All-Star festivities officially over and done with, most NBA teams can now shift their focus to either the chase for the playoffs, or the NBA draft lottery.
Either way, we’ve had a bit of a page turn amongst most NBA teams after the weekend that was. For more than half the league, though, the next two months is going to be dedicated to chasing playoff spots and trying to secure a certain seeding for the postseason.
For the other handful of teams that have no chance at making the playoffs, they themselves will also be battling out for position — bettering their opportunities to win the NBA draft lottery to be exact.
Nevertheless, nearly every team in the NBA will have something to play for in the latter portion of the season, which begins later this week.
Before we kickoff the race to finish, here are our latest NBA Power Rankings.
