The NBA will have a wild, wild West after the hiatus put team chemistry and momentum to a halt, writes USA TODAY Sports' Mark Medina.
Philadelphia was perhaps the most maddeningly inconsistent team during the first part of the season, from game to game and even quarter to quarter; dominant at home and awful on the road. Much of the focus was on Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons coexisting, but some lineup tweaks around the young stars might unlock a sluggish offense. Simmons has recovered from a back injury that opened the door for Shake Milton to flash his potential as a perimeter ball-handler.
Teams vying for the final playoff spots don’t have as much luxury to ramp up minutes. Each seeding game is vital for teams like the Grizzlies, Blazers and Pelicans in What’s important to realize about the Pelicans is that while Williamson is the sparkplug that helps this team tick, the franchise player is surrounded by a youthful and underrated nucleus that could bode well in the bubble format. Brandon Ingram, an All-Star this season, was arguably the most improved player in the league as a capable scorer with the game on the line.
