2. Oklahoma City Thunder (54-19)Kevin Durant has scored 25+ points in 38 straight games – two shy of Michael Jordan’s all-time best, which is also the most in the past half century. Wow. (Photo by Richard Rowe/NBAE via Getty Images)
3. Los Angeles Clippers (52-22)The Glen Davis fiasco notwithstanding, Saturday’s 118-107 win over Houston was cause for celebration; the Clippers are back in the playoffs for the third straight season. (Photo by Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE via Getty Images)
4. Indiana Pacers (55-22)A hard-fought 84-83 win over Miami gave the Pacers a three-game lead in the standings. They’ve since lost back-to-back games by a combined 27 points. Up next? San Antonio. Yikes. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
5. Miami Heat (50-22)The Heat are one game away from home-court advantage in the East, but is that something they necessarily want? Miami would likely face Chicago in the second round. (Photo by Issac Baldizon/NBAE via Getty Images)
6. Houston Rockets (49-23)Losing Patrick Beverley (torn meniscus) won’t hurt the Rockets’ playoff chances, but it does hurt their title hopes. (Photo by Bill Baptist/NBAE via Getty Images)

20. Atlanta Hawks (31-41)Six straight losses, five straight wins, six straight losses. The Hawks are 6-20 in their last 26 games. They’re also clinging to the final playoff spot in the East by just one game. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/NBAE via Getty Images)
21. Cleveland Cavaliers (30-45)That’s four wins in five games for the Cavs, who stunned the Pacers, 90-76, on Sunday. It was Cleveland’s first double-digit victory since February. (Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images)
22. Denver Nuggets (32-41)Oklahoma once and San Antonio twice? No wonder the Nuggets lost three straight last week. It was their sixth losing streak of at least three games this season. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)
23. Detroit Pistons (26-47)Detroit lost to Philadelphia – by 25 points. It doesn’t get much lower than that. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)
