去年今週:
鎂光燈依然聚焦在騎士身上
Steve Kerr讓自己的隊員在贏太陽46分的比賽中執教
(太陽當時為四支進入明星賽週前至少7連敗的隊伍之一)
暴龍、火箭、爵士分別帶著7、10及11連勝的戰績進入全明星週
Donovan Mitchell以VC的灌籃拿下灌籃大賽的冠軍
Devin Booker在最終回合以25投20中的成績贏得三分球大賽冠軍
LeBron隊因Curry無法投進最後一球而獲得明星賽的勝利
正負值先生:
正先生: Jonathan Isaac (ORL) 上週兩場比賽正負值為 +51
負先生: Miles Bridges and Malik Monk (CHA) 上週兩場比賽正負值皆為-39
上週話題球隊:
永遠保持下去吧: 奧蘭多魔術(2-0)
魔術正急起直追、現在距東區第八只剩半場勝差
在過去8場比賽中，魔術拿下其中7場
進入明星賽週前，對上鵜鶘及黃蜂的比賽總勝分為68分。
等等這不對啊: 夏洛特黃蜂(0-2)
黃蜂在進入明星賽週前的5場比賽輸了4場(賽程沒有說特別硬)
並在前幾天對上魔術的比賽輸了38分。
籃球東西軍
西區以174-135(.563)的成績勝過東區
儘管上週東區以4-1領先
至明星賽周的賽程強度
最硬賽程: 1. 鳳凰城太陽 2. 紐約尼克 3. 猶他爵士
最軟賽程: 1. 印第安納溜馬 2. 奧克拉荷馬雷霆 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: 明尼蘇達灰狼(+3) 奧蘭多魔術(+2) 其餘九隊(+1)
本週崩潰隊伍: 達拉斯獨行俠(-6) 曼菲斯灰熊 費城七六人 鳳凰城太陽(-2)
第19週焦點球隊-休士頓火箭
火箭正處於一個有趣的位置
距西區第四的拓荒者只有一場勝差，但距西區第九的國王也只有三場勝差
準備開始明星賽週後的兩場賽事(火箭的戰績剛好位於兩個對手的中間)
他們將作客湖人及勇士，而過去面對這兩隊的五場比賽，火箭皆拿下勝利。
