TEAM (LAST WK)

REC.

BREAKDOWN

1

Miami (1)

52-17

A setback at Houston isn't enough to knock the Heat from the top spot. Six of the Heat's remaining 13 games are against opponents with a sub-.500 record.

2

Phoenix (3)

51-16

The latest 50-game winner has picked up three straight wins on its current five-games-in-seven-days trip. Possible bumps in the road are back-to-back games at Miami and Orlando.

3

San Antonio (2)

50-18

How valuable is Duncan? Simply stated, the Spurs are 0-3 since he was hobbled at Detroit Sunday. The timeline for his return is unclear, but the Spurs title hopes cling to one high-profile ankle.

4

Seattle (4)

46-20

Hold a commanding 10-game lead in the Northwest Division. With four winnable games this week, could bring a seven-game streak to a Duncan-less San Antonio on Thursday.

5

Dallas (5)

45-22

The Little General took over in Big D on Saturday and the Mavs responded with three straight wins, their overall streak being four. Dallas is 4½ games behind the Spurs in the Southwest.

6

Detroit (6)

42-25

Need Larry Brown and Rip back in a hurry. In back-to-back nights in Cleveland and Philly, the team got pasted by a total of 38 points. Pacers, C's, Mavs and Kings provide little relief this week.

7

Houston (7)

40-27

Turning down the Heat is nice, but 1-2 on the week is no way to chase after a No. 4 seed. Vacation destinations New Orleans, San Antonio, Utah and Portland await the club this week.

8

Sacramento (8)

42-27

Those 700 coaching victories Rick Adelman has tallied lose their luster if the team can't get a few more. Houston, Memphis and Denver are knocking on the door for that No. 5 seed.

9

Memphis (9)

38-28

Pau's back. Sort of. The Spaniard is trying to play himself into game shape and the team will need him with road games at New Jersey and Chicago before being welcomed home by Seattle.

10

Denver (11)

36-30

Red-hot Denver has won 12 of its last 13 and coach Karl even wore a throwback jersey. Must bring a tear to Doug Moe's eye to see the club averaging 119.0 points over the last four.

11

Boston (10)

38-30

Run away with the Atlantic? Not so fast. That loss in New York stung. And they should be wary: Philly is only 4½ games back while the Nets -- winners of five in a row -- are a close third.

12

Washington (12)

36-29

With a one-game edge on the Cavs for home-court advantage in the first round, the banged up crew is 5-5 since Hughes' return. Now, they hit the road for four games in five nights.

13

Cleveland (13)

35-30

Hoping to improve on its 10-21 road record, Cleveland travels to Houston, Dallas and New Orleans this week. Bad news: The Cavaliers have lost nine straight away from Gund Arena.

14

Chicago (14)

35-31

If the regular season were to end today, the Bulls would face Boston in the first round. Kirk Hinrich needs to get healthy soon so that first round opponent doesn't become Detroit or Miami.

15

Indiana (15)

34-33

The Pacers are 6-4 sans Jermaine O'Neal and sit one game ahead of Philly for the East's seventh seed. Can they hold on with games at Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee this week?

16

Minnesota (17)

35-34

Don't look now, but Minny could be a dangerous seven or eight seed. Winners of two straight, the Wolves are only 2½ games behind the Nuggets for the eight-spot in the West.

17

Philadelphia (18)

33-34

Took three of four last week -- including a 23-point blowout of the defending champs -- as A.I. poured in points (34.3 per game). Road games at the Lakers, Kings and Suns await.

18

New Jersey (21)

32-36

The NBA's longest winning streak belongs to … drumroll, please … the Nets. Winners of five straight, they're within striking distance of seeing the postseason for the fourth straight year.

19

L.A. Lakers (16)

32-35

Losing six in a row won't help you catch the Nuggets for the West's final playoff spot. Must take advantage of tomorrow's game at Denver before home games against Sixers and Knicks.

20

Orlando (20)

32-35

The Magic are not out of the playoff picture yet, however, 10-of-15 games against opponents playing .500 ball or better may dash their postseason hopes.

21

L.A. Clippers (19)

31-37

Haven't made the playoffs since 1997 and it doesn't look like this will be their year. Dropped two more games off playoff pace this week alone.

22

New York (22)

29-37

Have won three-of-four to stay in the playoff hunt. A trip to Seattle, Portland, Golden State and the Lakers over five nights could leave the Knicks on the outside looking in.

23

Toronto (23)

28-39

Need to do better than losing three of every four, as they did last week, if they have any chance of seeing the playoffs. Travel to Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami and Orlando this week.

24

Milwaukee (24)

27-40

If an 0-3 record on the current five game West coast swing is not discouraging enough, the Bucks are 7-27 on the road this season with games at Golden State and Utah this week.

25

Golden State (25)

23-45

Defeated Sacramento at home before knocking off Phoenix and the Kings on the road, but Dallas proved to be too much on Wednesday.

26

Portland (27)

23-43

The youth movement is underway as rookie Sebastian Telfair is in the starting lineup and Viktor Khryapa is getting considerable time on the floor.

27

Utah (26)

21-46

Snapped a season-high-tying nine-game slide with a win over the Lakers on Tuesday.

28

New Orleans (28)

15-52

Are 0-13 this season against opponents in the Southwest Division.

29

Charlotte (29)

13-53

Dwight Howard topped Emeka Okafor on Monday but the Bobcats got the "W".

30

Atlanta (30)

11-56

Have dropped six straight with San Antonio, Toronto, Orlando and Washington on the schedule this week.
