NBA Power Rankings: Can Lakers, Nets flip the switch for the stretch run?
1. Phoenix Suns
Through much of the season, the Phoenix Suns have been overwhelming this season. However, in the final few weeks of the regular season, this team is going to be tested. Chris Paul is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season but return for the postseason.
It’ll be interesting to see how this team adjusts in life without Paul. Since the restart after the All-Star break, the Suns are 1-1 with an absolutely bad loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Will we see more of this over the next few weeks?

All in all, that might not matter. Assuming the Suns are healthy, they should be the favorites to not only win the Western Conference but win the championship as a whole this season.
