The NBA season only has about 15-20 games left per team and it’s time we start talking about teams we should start putting more focus on. There are a lot of teams that are hot right now and we should put some focus on them. Let’s get into some teams…
1. Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks are 8-2 in their last 10 games and 0.5 games back for the 4th seed in the West right now. Luka Doncic is playing at an insane level in March, averaging 31.3 PPG, 10.3 RPG, and 6.5 APG per game. After the Porzingis trade, Doncic has been excelling and the Mavericks are winning due to it. They are getting hot at the right time and could prove to be a problem for whoever they face in the first round of the playoffs.
Watch out for the Mavericks…
2. Boston Celtics
The Celtics started off the season pretty rough, but are 23-7 in their last 30 games. Jayson Tatum has been playing insane and the Celtics are finding their groove finally. Tatum is averaging 37.4 PPG in his last 5 games. The Celtics are going up the standings in the East and are only 1 game behind for the 2nd seed in the Eastern conference.
The Celtics have the firepower to make a lot of noise and potentially make a quiet run with Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Williams. Don’t sleep on the Celtics…
3. Minnesota Timberwolves
Other than the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves have been a welcoming surprise this year. They are currently 39-30 and are primed to make the playoffs this year. The trio of Karl Anthony-Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D’Angelo Russell are playing great together. Edwards is improving as a perimeter threat, KAT is dominating the inside, and Russell is becoming one of the most underrated facilitators in the game.
They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are meshing at the right time. The Timberwolves will definitely be a hard out in the first round if they make it…
