去年今週:
騎士在交易大限前急需陣容變動
活塞在交易大限前十天換來Blake Griffin
鵜鶘獲得Nikola Mirotic
爵士距季後賽席次還有3場半勝差
James Harden獲得NBA史上第一個60分大三元
C.J. McCollum對公牛僅用三節砍下50分
Kevin Love手受傷
Joel Embiid生涯首度B2B兩場比賽皆有上陣
Tyreke Evans正等著交易(但沒有發生)
Manu Ginobili傳出一個瘋狂的背後傳球
Al Horford絕殺拓荒者、Gary Harris三分絕殺雷霆
上週正負值先生
正先生：Khris Middleton (MIL)　上週三場比賽正負值為 +61
負先生：Damyean Dotson (NYK) 上週四場比賽正負值為 -53
上週話題球隊
永遠保持下去吧：丹佛金塊(4-0)
金塊將連勝數字延續到第六場(三場客場勝外加主場勝過火箭)
讓Mike Malone成功獲選為明星賽教練。
等等這不對啊：邁阿密熱火(0-3)
熱火在星期四的比賽以16分之差輸給公牛
該場比賽他們有主場優勢、前一天也有休息到。
籃球東西軍
西區以165-121 (.577)的優勢勝過東區
上週西區的戰績為11-8。
談16週的賽程
最硬賽程：1. 紐約尼克 2. 鳳凰城太陽 3. 猶他爵士
最軟賽程：1. 邁阿密熱火 2. 印第安那溜馬 3. 波士頓塞爾提克
(此分析基於對手紀錄、主客場和有無B2B賽事)
戰力排行變動
本週狂飆隊伍：沙加緬度國王(+3) 夏洛特黃蜂、波特蘭拓荒者(+2)
本週崩潰隊伍：邁阿密熱火(-4) 休士頓火箭、紐約尼克、奧克拉荷馬雷霆(-2)
第17週焦點球隊-聖安東尼奧馬刺
以交易大限的到來和話題性而言其他隊伍相對重要的多
但在場上，馬刺在客場連戰之前獲得五連勝
接下來的征戰之旅將對上四隻常勝軍
星期二對上國王、星期四對上勇士
星期五對上拓荒者、星期天對上爵士。
