The East and West rankings after the Bucks’ fifth straight win and the Nuggets’ dominance

The fight for the best possible placement in East and West is in full swing in the NBA and, according to fluctuating forecasts, will continue with undiminished intensity until the final.

In the Eastern Conference in particular, the 5/5 Bucks began to put pressure on the leading Celtics thanks to a 124-115 win over the Hornets. In the West, on the other hand, the Nuggets are trying to differentiate themselves from their rivals and the 122-113 over the Pelicans is hurting their plans.

Undoubtedly important were the Heat’s and Clippers’ doubles in Cleveland and Chicago, respectively, as they cemented them in the region’s top 6 while the Lakers are trying to stay close to the top 10 after the double in New York.
