WHAT’S TRENDING OUT WEST: TANGLE AT THE TOP Here’s Your TLDR: The Thunder clinched the West’s No. 1 seed last week. The 2nd-place Rockets lead 4 teams – ahead of the Nuggets, Lakers and Grizzlies – separated by just 2.5 games. The Warriors hold the final guaranteed spot in the #NBAPlayoffs presented by Google, but the Clippers and Wolves are close and charging hard. For the #SoFiPlayIn, Sacramento & Phoenix lead, with Dallas, Portland and San Antonio in striking distance. 4 For 2: The race for second has just 2.5 games between 2nd-place Houston and 5th-place Memphis, with Denver and the Lakers in between. Rockets Soaring: During its 9-game win streak, Houston was 7th in OffRtg and 2nd in DefRtg, with seven players averaging 15+ PPG – led by Jalen Green and do-it-all rising star Amen Thompson. The Joker Returns? Jokić, who’s one triple-double from 30 for the year – would join Russell Westbrook, Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to do it – is expected to come back during Denver’s five-game homestand. The King Is Back: The Lakers have gone 4-6 over their last 10, but just got LeBron James back after missing seven games. Meanwhile, Luka Dončić has put up 31 ppg in that stretch. Can the Grizz Battle Back? Memphis has lost three straight, but still seek to become the first team to go from the lowest PPG (105.8 in '23-'24) to the highest the following season (122.1, 2nd).

Steven Adams has rebounded an astounding 22.5% of all Houston misses in his minutes. That would be the highest single-season ORB% in recorded NBA history (since '73-74 for O-boards, minimum 500 minutes), per @bball_ref . His resurgence has been sneakily important for the Rockets.
