We arrive at a new week of games in the best basketball in the world, the NBA, where all the teams arrive with a clear mission, to achieve as many victories as possible, since the second part of the season is already underway and, each victory would cover all the needs and could meet each of the objectives that have been set in the short, medium and long term.
The conferences continue in the same way as the entire season, the Eastern Conference of the NBA with a very good battle between 5 teams for the first place, but, at the moment, it is shared between Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls. While the Western Conference has the Phoenix Suns increasingly on the run and on track to be the conference leader and achieve a comfortable postseason berth.
Of course, there is still half of the regular season left and anything can happen, but each team needs to try to win every game they play from now on.

This game will have a lot of emotions, both teams need to get victories and, the most important thing for them is that they need a chain of important victories to be able to fulfill the short-term objectives that they have set for themselves.
On the part of the Philadelphia 76ers, they are very close to first place in the Eastern Conference. Winning this match would be ideal for them and their aspirations to be at the top of the table.
While the Timberwolves know that they have no real chance of being at the top of the Western Conference standings, their goal is to be able to reach fourth place in the table, which is currently held by the Utah Jazz.
Jazz vs. Mavericks

One of the most important games of this day in the NBA will be, without a doubt, this one between Jazz and Mavericks, which are in a similar situation in the season and are direct rivals, so the winner of this game would have the push needed to get more wins in this week of the regular season.
The Jazz must take advantage of the fact that they play at home to be able to get a very good victory that gives them peace of mind that translates into a difference of 2.5 games concerning the Mavericks.
While the Mavericks want to hit the table to place themselves just half a game behind the Jazz and start their way to overtake the Memphis Grizzlies.
Bulls vs. Grizzlies

While it is true that one of the teams with the best news at this point in the NBA regular season is the Memphis Grizzlies, in this game against an inspired, dangerous and complicated team like the Chicago Bulls, their aspirations to get closer to the second place in the table could be affected.
The Chicago Bulls continue to lead the standings in the Eastern Conference, although they are sharing first place with the Miami Heat, the Bulls have managed to play a spectacular tournament, overwhelming most of the teams they face.
For its part, the Memphis Grizzlies have taken advantage of the mistakes that the teams have had in the Western Conference to place themselves at the top of the standings.
Bucks vs. Nets

Moneyline odds: Bucks -356 / Nets +220 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

If we talk about a preseason game, a Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets would be one of the best games we could enjoy, because both teams are full of many star players. But, in this part of the season, we have a surprise, pleasant for many and bitter for others that the mighty Brooklyn Nets are in the lower-middle zone of the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks are battling the Sixers and Cavs for third place in the standings and, with back-to-back wins, could fight for the top of the standings.
While the Brooklyn Nets fell into a rut that they still haven’t been able to get out of, since, after being at the top of the standings during the beginning of the regular season, they have now lost many games and their classification to the postseason is in danger.
Suns vs. Jazz

Moneyline odds: Suns -356 / Jazz +285 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

After having a day on Saturday where we will have the game between Bucks vs. Nets, on Sunday we start the last day of this week with a great game between two teams that have played at their highest competitive level throughout the regular season. Western Conference leaders Phoenix Suns host the Utah Jazz at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
The Suns have no worries at this point in the season, they are the leaders of the Western Conference and their closest pursuer is the Warriors with more than 6 games difference.
While the Jazz, after being in an excellent situation, and even being only 2 games out of first place, have not been able to maintain their pace of play and have drastically moved away from the top of the conference.
Warriors vs. Mavericks
When: Sunday, February 27 at 07:30 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Warriors -225 / Mavericks +156 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

The emotions continue this Sunday, February 27 with the game between Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks and, after facing the powerful Utah Jazz, they have to face another of the great teams of the season, the Warriors.
The Mavericks have had a good season, but if we compare their season with that of the Warriors, it is not the same situation, since Golden State has shown incredible consistency and, thanks to this, they are still in second place in the West Conference.
Cavaliers vs. Timberwolves
When: Monday, February 28 at 07:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Cavaliers -185 / Timberwolves +220 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

Next week, specifically Monday, February 28, 2022, a new week of games begins in the NBA, and one of those great games that we can enjoy is, without a doubt, this one between Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, which despite not being in the same conference, they urgently need to win to meet their short-term goals.
The Cavs have first place in the Eastern Conference in their sights, while the Timberwolves have to win many consecutive games to be in the zone of the classification table that gives a direct quote to the postseason.
Heat vs. Bulls

What a way to start the week in the NBA with a game between two of the best teams this season and who have weeks in a give and take to be in first place in the Eastern Conference, Miami Heat hosts Chicago Bulls at the FTX Arena.
There is not much to say about these two teams, their seasons and the level of play they have shown throughout the season have been phenomenal, and they speak for themselves, so we can only enjoy the show to the fullest, they will surely give us.
Nets vs. Raptors
When: Monday, February 28 at 07:30 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Nets -120 / Raptors -120 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Where Can I Watch? ESPN / TNT
As we have pointed out, the Brooklyn Nets have not been able to get out of the terrible pothole that they have fallen into and, with the departure of Harden a few weeks ago, the team does not seem to take off, and it has cost them a lot to get victories. The Nets have had a significant losing record, which has meant that they cannot fight at the top of the Eastern Conference.
On the other hand, we have a team that has been inspired in these last two weeks, the Toronto Raptors, and with a very good balance of victories, they have gradually climbed important positions in the Eastern Conference.
Bucks vs. Hornets
When: Monday, February 28 at 08:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Bucks -120 / Hornets -120 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Where Can I Watch? ESPN / TNT
We close this Power Rankings with the game between Bucks vs. Hornets, which will be played at the Fiserv Forum, home of the Bucks.
The Milwaukee Bucks, current NBA champions, have to take advantage of this home game to achieve a victory that will keep them closer to first place in the table.
While the Hornets are in a very complicated situation, and they need to win many games to be able to continue dreaming of being in the postseason.
