Big Upsets: DET 119-104 PHI, DET 107-92 LAL, WAS 149-146 BKN
Observations:
- Philadelphia has built up a 2.5 game lead ahead of Brooklyn, who is now 2nd in the East as Boston and Milwaukee are on a mini-slump losing 2 straight
- Brooklyn was on a 4 game winning streak, but then they lost to Washington without Harden; but you'd still expect Durant and Irving to be enough
- Toronto Raptors, who were surging, went on a 3 game losing streak before snapping it on Sunday against Orlando, so they are still fighting off their bad start at 8-12
- Only 6 teams in the East are above .500 with the 7th/8th seed at 9-11
- LA Clippers and Utah Jazz are the hottest teams in the NBA with a 9-1 record in their last 10 and they sit 1st and 2nd in the West respectively ahead of LA Lakers
- Memphis has 12 days between games due to COVID, but they kept their winning streak going
- Houston has won 5 straight to get back to .500 and are the 10th seed in the West
- Dallas finally got Porzingis back in the line up, but are still on a 5 game losing streak
