The NBA Standings for 2014 after the All-Star break have the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are the top teams in the east and west, with LeBron James and Kevin Durant leading the race for MVP.
The Pacers have been the best team in the east all season and they are two and a half games clear of Miami, who has been playing very well of late and that should be a battle to watch as the season goes on. The east is a mess with only two teams having more wins than the eighth seeded team in the west and that leaves the Toronto Raptors as the other division leader and behind them arte the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks.
In the west, Oklahoma City and San Antonio have been battling as the best team, while the Houston Rockets are in third and the Clippers in fourth. The middle pack is bunched with the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks, while Phoenix and Golden State are the bottom teams right now.
The NBA schedule picks up after the All-Star break in New Orleans and there are a number of matchups throughout Tuesday night, as the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns are in action.
