Zach Lowe: 建议老鹰队今夏交易特雷·杨或德章泰·穆雷，球队需要改变现状，避免重复之前的失败。如果他们真的将特雷·杨摆上货架，会有很多球队给出不错的报价。
Bobby Marks: 西部联盟第六到第八名的争夺非常激烈，对季后赛和休赛期球员交易都至关重要。鹈鹕队是西部联盟季后赛席位争夺中的重要变数，他们的实力取决于英格拉姆等核心球员的发挥。虽然鹈鹕队目前排名第七，但他们仍然是获得第六名的热门球队，避免附加赛是关键。太阳队和鹈鹕队在季后赛席位争夺中面临巨大压力，他们的季后赛前景取决于能否保持竞技状态。湖人队季后赛前景取决于能否进入附加赛上半区，争取两场赢一场的机会。湖人队近期状态出色，但能否在季后赛中走得更远仍存在不确定性。
Bobby Marks: 西部联盟第一名的争夺依然激烈，森林狼和掘金队竞争激烈。西部联盟季后赛排名变动剧烈，难以预测球队如何避免与掘金队相遇。掘金队是西部联盟夺冠的最大热门，其他球队尚未展现出足够的竞争力。附加赛的竞争激烈程度使得教练们在常规赛末段也展现出季后赛级别的执教策略。
