NBA Power Rankings - Wemby leads Spurs, and the Heat push for the postseason - ESPN

We're in the final third of the 2023-24 NBA regular season, and the postseason race in both conferences is tight.

In the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets are all within a half-game with each other, jostling for the No. 1 spot. And despite an impressive win over the Thunder on Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers remain stuck in the play-in bubble, half a game behind the Dallas Mavericks.

While it appears no team in the East will catch the Boston Celtics, who most recently topped their regular-season dominance with a 52-point win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers — one game apart — could make another surprising postseason run, with the health of the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks still up in the air.

Here's where all 30 teams stack up this week, with just one month to go.
