The hottest team in the league since the All-Star break has been the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were in last place coming in, but managed to win 3 games since then, beating New Orleans, Phoenix, and Portland. Once again, the coldest team is Houston, who dropped into last place and has now lost 19 games in a row, with their last win coming on Feb 4, a win that put them at 11-10 for the season. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
