14. LA Clippers (21-21)

The LA Clippers have roughly a month to figure out what they plan on doing moving forward. They have to real options at the trade deadline. They could move DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams, probably for first-round picks, or they could keep the core together and hope to sneak into the playoffs and perhaps pull off an upset.

And if their last 13 games are any indication, this is a team that should keep it together and try to play spoiler in the weeks leading up to the playoffs. The team has won 10 of their last 13 and is only a half game out of the 8th spot in the West.

They’re also 1.5 games out of the 5th seed.
