NBA赛季已接近尾声，但各队之间的较量正趋于白热化，其中包括迈阿密热火队的班姆·阿德巴约 (Bam Adebayo) 在周二砍下83分——这是NBA历史上单场第二高分。

俄克拉荷马城雷霆队在周一晚上力克丹佛掘金队后，继续与圣安东尼奥马刺队统治西部联盟；而随着杰森·塔图姆 (Jayson Tatum) 的回归，波士顿凯尔特人队正力争在东部联盟提升排名。

底特律活塞队近期的挣扎让他们在东部的领先地位产生了一些动摇；而西部联盟除前两名外，其余排名每天都在波动，各支球队都在为下个月季后赛开始前的排位展开激烈争夺。

距离附加赛开始仅剩一个多月，以下是本周的NBA战力榜。

_注：球队排名基于专家团成员（ESPN的安东尼·斯莱特 (Anthony Slater)、戴夫·麦克梅纳明 (Dave McMenamin)、贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier)、迈克尔·C·莱特 (Michael C. Wright)、鲍比·马克斯 (Bobby Marks)、蒂姆·邦唐 (Tim Bontemps)、蒂姆·麦克马洪 (Tim MacMahon)、文森特·古德威尔 (Vincent Goodwill) 以及扎克·克拉姆 (Zach Kram)）的意见。_

**往期排名：** 季前赛 | 10月29日 | 11月5日 | 11月12日 | 11月19日 | 11月26日 | 12月3日 | 12月10日 | 12月17日 | 12月24日 | 12月31日 | 1月7日 | 1月14日 | 1月21日 | 1月28日 | 2月4日 | 2月11日 | 2月24日 | 3月4日

**跳转至球队：**  
ATL | BOS | BKN | CHA | CHI | CLE  
DAL | DEN | DET | GS | HOU | IND  
LAC | LAL | MEM | MIA | MIL | MIN  
NO | NY | OKC | ORL | PHI | PHX  
POR | SAC | SA | TOR | UTAH | WAS

## 1. 俄克拉荷马城雷霆

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 51胜15负
- **往期排名：** 1
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 BOS (3月12日), 对阵 MIN (3月15日), 客战 ORL (3月17日)

在周一晚上对阵掘金队的比赛中，阿杰·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell) 的回归被谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 的烟花表演盖过了风头。

米切尔此前因腹斜肌和脚踝伤势连续缺席了20场比赛，但在替补登场的29分钟高效时间内，他看起来状态全红。他16投9中砍下24分，展现了一系列华丽的突破和个人创造的拔腿跳投。

在接下来的几个月里，米切尔可能会成为最重要的替补球员之一，尤其是当杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 试图从反复发作的腿筋问题中慢慢恢复并重返阵容时。 —— _Anthony Slater_

## 2. 圣安东尼奥马刺

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 48胜17负
- **往期排名：** 4
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 DEN (3月12日), 对阵 CHA (3月14日), 客战 LAC (3月16日), 客战 SAC (3月17日)

马刺队希望在本赛季最长的主场赛程中，通过对抗各种风格和阵容的争冠球队来磨炼自己，因为他们正逐渐进入季后赛备战模式。

到目前为止，圣安东尼奥交出了完美的答卷：他们战胜了底特律，在对阵洛杉矶快船时完成了一场25分的逆转，并以25分的优势大胜州内死敌休斯顿。

考验仍在继续。在周二力克波士顿凯尔特人队后，马刺队将在本周结束其主场赛程，周四迎战丹佛掘金队，周六则将对阵势头正盛的夏洛特黄蜂队。 —— _迈克尔·C·莱特_

* * *

## 3. 波士顿凯尔特人

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 43胜22负
- **往期排名：** 5
- **下场比赛：** 客战 OKC (3月12日), 对阵 WAS (3月14日), 对阵 PHX (3月16日)

杰森·塔图姆回归了，而他的前两场比赛表现再好不过。凯尔特人队不仅在他复出后取得了两连胜，而且令人惊讶的是，除了手感稍欠火候外，他看起来完全不像缺阵过的人。在波士顿战胜独行侠和骑士的比赛中，他合计32投12中。

塔图姆的回归再次印证了一个观点：波士顿依然是东部联盟最难被击败的球队。 —— _Tim Bontemps_

* * *

## 4. 底特律活塞

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 48胜18负
- **往期排名：** 3
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 PHI (3月12日), 对阵 MEM (3月13日), 客战 TOR (3月15日), 客战 WAS (3月17日)

逆境降临到了活塞队身上。即便凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 轮休且奥萨尔·汤普森 (Ausar Thompson) 因右脚踝扭伤缺阵，底特律也不该在之前以105-107憾负布鲁克林篮网，不过他们在周二以138-100大胜同一支篮网队，完成了反弹。

消息人士告诉ESPN，汤普森的脚踝伤势预计会让他缺阵一周左右，但活塞队希望在允许他上场前确保其完全康复。他是球队防守端最全能的球员，尤其是他的外线防守，在周日输给迈阿密的比赛中表现得尤为缺失。

对于一支依靠防守创造进攻的球队来说，任何细微的滑坡都会呈指数级放大，这正是活塞队目前的处境。 —— _Vincent Goodwill_

## 5. 纽约尼克斯

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 41胜25负
- **往期排名：** 6
- **下场比赛：** 客战 UTAH (3月11日), 客战 IND (3月13日), 对阵 GS (3月15日), 对阵 IND (3月17日)

在洛杉矶度过一个周末后可能还没到恐慌的时候，但在丹佛客场大胜那支阵容难得整齐的掘金队（本赛季最精彩的胜利之一）后，背靠背连负湖人和快船，这种局面并不理想。

米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 经常在进攻端“迷失”，周末期间曾有将近六节比赛没有得分。尼克斯需要他在攻防两端都保持活跃，以维持过去两个月以来的防守水准。对阵湖人一分未得，对阵快船仅得7分，这确实引起了一些疑虑。 —— _Goodwill_

* * *

## 6. 明尼苏达森林狼

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 40胜25负
- **往期排名：** 7
- **下场比赛：** 客战 LAC (3月11日), 客战 GS (3月13日), 客战 OKC (3月15日), 对阵 PHX (3月17日)

在周二晚与湖人队的对决之前，过去的10场比赛完美地概括了明尼苏达的本赛季。

森林狼队在那段时期取得了8胜2负，包括一场令人印象深刻的对阵掘金的胜利。但在那两场失利中，森林狼分别以27分的劣势惨败给了两支东部中游球队——费城（当时费城在背靠背第二场轮换了部分主力）和奥兰多。

这凸显了围绕森林狼队的日常波动性，也解释了为什么在判定他们在西部的竞争格局时，人们总是感到困惑。 —— _Bontemps_

* * *

## 7. 休斯顿火箭

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 40胜24负
- **往期排名：** 9
- **下场比赛：** 客战 DEN (3月11日), 对阵 NO (3月13日), 对阵 LAL (3月16日)

休斯顿的不稳定性在周日集中爆发，火箭队遭受了本赛季最惨痛的失利，负于圣安东尼奥马刺队——这也是球队过去两个赛季中仅有的第二次25分大败。火箭队因失误丢掉了25分，并且在第一线防守中难以限制住圣安东尼奥的后卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)，两人联手砍下了43分。

中锋阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun) 目前是火箭队仅次于凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 的二号得分手（场均20.4分），但他在3月份的表现并不稳定，场均得分比上个月下降了近6分。 —— _莱特_

* * *

## 8. 克利夫兰骑士

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 40胜25负
- **往期排名：** 8
- **下场比赛：** 客战 ORL (3月11日), 客战 DAL (3月13日), 对阵 DAL (3月15日), 客战 MIL (3月17日)

东部前四的球队已经与该联盟的其他球队拉开了距离，这使得赛季最后一个月变成了季后赛排位之争。

克利夫兰目前排在第4号种子，但骑士队距离第3号种子仅差半个胜场，这可能决定了他们在第二轮会面对底特律还是波士顿。

骑士队更倾向于落入半区的哪一侧可能是一个有趣的难题，尤其是考虑到接下来的赛程非常轻松。在周三对阵势头火热的魔术队后，骑士队将两次对阵独行侠，随后还有与雄鹿、公牛和鹈鹕的比赛。 —— _Jamal Collier_

* * *

## 9. 丹佛掘金

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 39胜26负
- **往期排名：** 3
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 HOU (3月11日), 客战 SAS (3月12日), 客战 LAL (3月14日), 对阵 PHI (3月17日)

自从阿隆·戈登 (Aaron Gordon) 从腿筋拉伤中复出后，掘金队已经连输两场，但他在俄克拉荷马城的表现令人振奋。

在输给卫冕冠军雷霆队的比赛中，戈登在28分钟内得到23分并抓下10个篮板。据消息人士透露，侧翼球员佩顿·沃森 (Peyton Watson) 也接近从腿筋拉伤中恢复，可能在周末前复出。 —— _Tim MacMahon_

* * *

## 10. 洛杉矶湖人

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 40胜25负
- **往期排名：** 10
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 CHI (3月12日), 对阵 DEN (3月14日), 客战 HOU (3月16日)

在周二对阵明尼苏达的比赛前，卢克·肯纳德 (Luke Kennard) 在湖人过去六场比赛中（全部获胜）有四场得分上双，而这位洛杉矶在交易截止日得到的强援也正在冲击历史。

历史上只有六名球员能完成单赛季三分命中率不低于50%的壮举，而肯纳德目前的三分命中率为50%，很有希望做到这一点。他在2022-23赛季曾与此失之交臂，当时该赛季的最终命中率为49.4%。 —— _Dave McMenamin_

* * *

## 11. 迈阿密热火

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 37-29
- **往期排名：** 15
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 MIL (3月12日), 对阵 ORL (3月14日), 客战 CHA (3月17日)

抛开班姆·阿德巴约在周二砍下的83分不说——这确实是个惊人的数据——迈阿密的进攻一直是“不稳定”的典型案例。

在本赛季的前15场比赛中，热火队的进攻排名联盟第八，但在接下来的30场比赛中，他们跌入了联盟后十位。自全明星赛以来，热火队取得了8胜2负，进攻效率和场均得分均排名第一，并在周三的比赛前攀升至东部并列第六。

在这10场比赛中，泰勒·希罗 (Tyler Herro) 场均贡献22.2分，投篮命中率为50.3%，三分命中率为45%，而热火队也是3月份保持不败的三支球队之一。 —— _Bobby Marks_

* * *

## 12. 菲尼克斯太阳

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 38胜27负
- **往期排名：** 13
- **下场比赛：** 客战 IND (3月12日), 客战 TOR (3月13日), 客战 BOS (3月16日), 客战 MIN (3月17日)

菲尼克斯在周二开始本赛季最长的连续六场客场之旅前取得了五战四胜，首战他们以129-114击败了密尔沃基。

德文·布克 (Devin Booker) 在3月份的使用率达到了33.8%——这是他本赛季单月最高值。在这位五届全明星球员完全接管球队的同时，狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 因左手骨折继续缺阵。周三赛前，他们距离西部第六名还有1.5个胜场。 —— _McMenamin_

* * *

## 13. 奥兰多魔术

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 35胜28负
- **往期排名：** 16
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 CLE (3月11日), 对阵 WAS (3月12日), 客战 MIA (3月14日), 客战 ATL (3月16日), 对阵 OKC (3月17日)

3月份对魔术队非常友好：奥兰多取得了4胜1负，最近还在客场以27分的分差击败了明尼苏达。

在过去的五场比赛中，保罗·班凯罗 (Paolo Banchero) 和德斯蒙德·贝恩 (Desmond Bane) 这对搭档场均合砍48分，且两人的投篮命中率都超过了50%。凭借全明星赛后7胜3负的战绩，魔术队排名东部第七，距离第五名仅差半个胜场。自全明星赛后，他们的防守排名联盟第二，这是魔术队试图稳固东部季后赛席位的关键因素。 —— _Marks_

* * *

## 14. 多伦多猛龙

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 36胜28负
- **往期排名：** 11
- **下场比赛：** 客战 NO (3月11日), 对阵 PHX (3月13日), 对阵 DET (3月15日)

截至周二上午，多伦多获得东部前六种子的概率已从上周的近70%降至57%。

这并不一定是多伦多的错，而是反映了迈阿密和奥兰多同时开启的连胜。猛龙队需要自己也打出一波连胜来跟上节奏，然而，自1月份以来他们还没有取得过两场以上的连胜——自从上次连胜结束以来，他们的战绩仅为7胜8负。 —— _Zach Kram_

* * *

## 15. 亚特兰大老鹰

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 34胜31负
- **往期排名：** 17
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 BKN (3月12日), 对阵 MIL (3月14日), 对阵 ORL (3月16日)

老鹰队和“防守”在前几个赛季几乎不沾边。但自全明星赛以来，亚特兰大取得了9胜1负，并拥有全联盟最佳的防守效率。进入周二前的这段时间里，老鹰队的失误得分和快攻得分均排名联盟第四。在赢下的八场比赛中，对手场均失误高达16.6次。 —— _Marks_

* * *

## 16. 洛杉矶快船

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 32胜32负
- **往期排名：** 18
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 MIN (3月11日), 对阵 CHI (3月13日), 对阵 SAC (3月14日), 对阵 SAS (3月16日)

这支快船队显然永不言弃。本周他们的战绩达到了32胜32负，胜率重回50%，这是他们自赛季初3胜3负以来首次做到这一点。他们在过去六场比赛中赢下了五场，期间唯一的失利是4分之差负于圣安东尼奥马刺队。

34岁的科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 场均砍下27.9分，创下了他15年职业生涯以来的场均最高得分。 —— _McMenamin_

* * *

## 17. 夏洛特黄蜂

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 33胜33负
- **往期排名：** 14
- **下场比赛：** 客战 SAC (3月11日), 客战 SAS (3月14日), 对阵 MIA (3月17日)

夏洛特的好消息是，自扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 复出以来，排名第11位的雄鹿队表现挣扎，这意味着黄蜂队几乎肯定能至少进入附加赛。

坏消息呢？连续负于迈阿密和菲尼克斯，与此同时迈阿密、奥兰多和亚特兰大都在连胜，这降低了夏洛特从“9 vs 10”附加赛排位攀升至“7 vs 8”排位、甚至冲进前六种子的概率。 —— _Kram_

* * *

## 18. 费城76人

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 35胜30负
- **往期排名：** 12
- **下场比赛：** 客战 DET (3月12日), 对阵 BKN (3月14日), 对阵 POR (3月15日), 客战 DEN (3月17日)

费城的伤病问题继续堆积。除了保罗·乔治 (Paul George) 依然因禁赛缺席外，球队目前还失去了乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid)（腹斜肌）、泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey)（手指）和VJ·艾奇库姆 (VJ Edgecombe)（背部）。

因此，76人队现在已深陷东部联盟的附加赛区——在3月12日对阵底特律的比赛前排名第8——并且只要这些球员继续缺阵，排名还有可能进一步下滑。 —— _Bontemps_

* * *

## 19. 金州勇士

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 32胜33负
- **往期排名：** 19
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 MIN (3月13日), 客战 NYK (3月15日), 客战 WAS (3月16日)

勇士队想要顶住势头强劲的快船队并保住第八名将会非常困难。

快船队近六战五胜，且接下来的八场比赛中有六场是针对乐透区球队。与此同时，勇士队即将开启连续六场的客场之旅，对手包括尼克斯、活塞和凯尔特人。

如果最终悬念留到最后一周，勇士和快船将在常规赛最后一天（4月12日）于洛杉矶直接对话。 —— _Slater_

* * *

## 20. 波特兰开拓者

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 31胜35负
- **往期排名：** 20
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 UTAH (3月13日), 客战 PHI (3月15日), 客战 BKN (3月16日)

对于前探花秀斯库特·亨德森 (Scoot Henderson) 来说，他的第三个赛季非常艰难。由于季前赛严重的腿筋伤势，他缺席了大部分比赛。

在复出后的13场比赛中，亨德森的投篮命中率仅为39%，三分命中率为25%。不过，他在上周末展现了一线曙光，15投10中砍下28分。他能否让自己的成长重回正轨并提高效率，将在一定程度上决定这支中游实力的开拓者队能否在下赛季更进一步。 —— _Slater_

* * *

## 21. 密尔沃基雄鹿

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 27胜37负
- **往期排名：** 21
- **下场比赛：** 客战 MIA (3月12日), 客战 ATL (3月14日), 对阵 IND (3月15日), 对阵 CLE (3月17日)

扬尼斯·阿德托昆博伤愈复出后的前三场比赛场均得到23.3分、8.3个篮板和4.7次助攻，场均上场26分钟……然而，在他复出后的前四场比赛中，雄鹿队输掉了三场（他曾因之前受伤的小腿感到不适而缺席了一场），且经常是大比分落败。

周日，密尔沃基以39分之差惨败给奥兰多（阿德托昆博缺阵），此前还分别以18分和27分之差负于亚特兰大和波士顿。对于一支仍抱有季后赛愿望的球队来说，这些惨败远未达到应有的水平。

雄鹿队本周末将在客场挑战迈阿密和亚特兰大，这两支球队在附加赛排名中都领先于他们。 —— _Collier_

* * *

## 22. 芝加哥公牛

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 27胜38负
- **往期排名：** 23
- **下场比赛：** 客战 LAL (3月12日), 客战 LAC (3月13日), 对阵 MEM (3月16日)

公牛队本周负于了联盟战绩最差的萨克拉门托国王队，在交易截止日后继续沉沦。

但约什·吉迪 (Josh Giddey) 在那场比赛中拿到了职业生涯第16次三双，超越了斯科蒂·皮蓬 (Scottie Pippen)，位列队史三双榜第二位。他目前仅落后于迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan)，后者以28次保持着队史纪录。这是芝加哥下半赛季中为数不多的亮点。 —— _Collier_

* * *

## 23. 孟菲斯灰熊

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 23胜41负
- **往期排名：** 22
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 DAL (3月12日), 客战 DET (3月13日), 客战 CHI (3月16日)

灰熊队本赛季已经累积了六次四场及以上的连败，而上赛季全季仅有两次。周二，他们又遭遇了连续第七场失利。

不过，孟菲斯总经理扎克·克莱曼 (Zach Kleiman) 表示，球队的重建不会演变成漫长的“五年计划”。尽管球队在交易截止日听取了关于这位两届全明星球员的报价，但当家球星贾·莫兰特 (Ja Morant) 仍希望成为重建的一员。

在自1月份以来的首次评论中，莫兰特最近表示他希望在本赛季之后继续留在灰熊，但目前尚不清楚我们本赛季是否还能看到他上场。球队在3月6日宣布，将在两周后对莫兰特受伤的左肘进行重新评估。 —— _莱特_

* * *

## 24. 新奥尔良 Pelicans

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 21胜45负
- **往期排名：** 25
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 TOR (3月11日), 客战 HOU (3月13日), 对阵 DAL (3月16日)

蔡恩·威廉姆斯 (Zion Williamson) 很快从脚踝伤势中恢复，目前已为这支在过去三场比赛中赢下两场的新奥尔良球队连续出战四场。

控卫德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) 表示，他希望看到鹈鹕队冲击附加赛席位，但考虑到新奥尔良目前排在西部第13位，这并非易事。

临时主教练詹姆斯·博雷戈 (James Borrego) 希望在本赛季结束后继续执掌教鞭，但他需要用强力的收尾表现来打动高层。在鹈鹕队接下来的五场比赛中，有四场对手目前的胜率都在50%以上。 —— _莱特_

* * *

## 25. 达拉斯独行侠

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 21胜44负
- **往期排名：** 24
- **下场比赛：** 客战 MEM (3月12日), 对阵 CLE (3月13日), 客战 CLE (3月15日), 客战 NO (3月16日)

改善库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 身边的投射将是独行侠队的一大重点。在围绕这位珍贵的菜鸟建队的过程中，尽管球队存在空间问题，弗拉格已经证明了自己是一名极具动力的突破手。

独行侠队的场均三分球命中数（10.6个）排在联盟倒数第二，三分球命中率（33.9%）排在第28位。 —— _MacMahon_

* * *

## 26. 犹他爵士

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 20胜45负
- **往期排名：** 26
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 NYK (3月11日), 客战 POR (3月13日), 客战 SAC (3月15日)

在周一主场战胜勇士后，犹他爵士在本赛季前锋劳里·马尔卡宁 (Lauri Markkanen) 缺阵的比赛中战绩提升至3胜20负。马尔卡宁因在训练中臀部受伤已连续缺席七场比赛，目前尚无回归时间表。

此前，爵士队已于2月17日宣布小贾伦·杰克逊 (Jaren Jackson Jr.) 因膝盖手术赛季报销。 —— _MacMahon_

* * *

## 27. 布鲁克林篮网

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 15胜46负
- **往期排名：** 29
- **下场比赛：** 客战 ATL (3月12日), 客战 PHI (3月14日), 对阵 POR (3月16日)

先别急着下定论，但这支势如破竹、状态火热的布鲁克林篮网必须引起重视……说认真的，篮网队在周六落后20分以上的情况下，在底特律逆转了没有坎宁安的活塞，并终结了10连败，这展现了球队的韧性。

紧接着他们赢下了一场或许并不那么想赢的比赛——以126-115击败了同样处于乐透区的孟菲斯灰熊队。扎伊尔·威廉姆斯 (Zaire Williams) 正处于职业生涯最佳阶段之一，在过去四场比赛中场均得到16.3分，三分命中率达53%。 —— _Goodwill_

* * *

## 28. 华盛顿奇才

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 16胜48负
- **往期排名：** 27
- **下场比赛：** 客战 ORL (3月12日), 客战 BOS (3月14日), 对阵 GS (3月16日), 对阵 DET (3月17日)

特雷·杨 (Trae Young) 上周完成了他在奇才队的首秀，但他的新东家对这位全明星的回归仍持谨慎态度。

作为奇才球员的前两场比赛，杨总共只打了37分钟，场均贡献14.5分和7.0次助攻，命中率为53%（三分命中率40%）。奇才队输掉了这两场比赛，包括一场对阵犹他的“前八顺位受保护选秀权”争夺战。 —— _Kram_

* * *

## 29. 印第安纳步行者

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 15胜50负
- **往期排名：** 29
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 PHX (3月12日), 对阵 NYK (3月13日), 客战 MIL (3月15日), 客战 NYK (3月17日)

随着帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆 (Pascal Siakam) 和亚伦·内史密斯 (Aaron Nesmith) 的回归，步行者队的首发阵容迎来了久违的健康状态。然而，大面积的失利并未停止：截至周二，步行者已遭遇九连败——最近_六场_均为两位数惨败——且过去八个对手每场得分都至少达到了125分。

这确实是保住他们在即将到来的选秀中那个前四顺位受保护选秀权的一种方式。 —— _Kram_

* * *

## 30. 萨克拉门托国王

- **2025-26赛季战绩：** 16胜50负
- **往期排名：** 30
- **下场比赛：** 对阵 CHA (3月11日), 客战 LAC (3月14日), 对阵 UTAH (3月15日), 对阵 SAS (3月17日)

在国王队注定漫长的彻底重建过程中，新秀中锋马克西姆·雷诺 (Maxime Raynaud) 是为数不多的亮点之一。

这位二轮秀在过去的11场比赛中有7场拿到两双，在最近战胜公牛的比赛中砍下了26分、11个篮板和3次盖帽。如果国王队今年夏天为了年轻化进程而交易走多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯 (Domantas Sabonis)，那么雷诺很有可能在下赛季成为萨克拉门托的首发中锋。 —— _Slater_

> 
> The NBA season is dwindling down but the matchups are heating up, including the Miami Heat’s Bam Adebayo scoring 83 points – the second most in a game in NBA history – on Tuesday.
> 
> The Oklahoma City Thunder, coming off a convincing win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, and the San Antonio Spurs continue to rule the Western Conference, while the Boston Celtics, following Jayson Tatum’s return, are eyeing a move up the Eastern Conference.
> 
> The Detroit Pistons’ recent struggles have cast some doubts on their hold on the East, while the Western Conference standings, outside of the top two, continue to fluctuate daily as teams jockey for position ahead of next month’s playoffs.
> 
> With a little over a month to go ahead of the play-in tournament, here are this week’s NBA Power Rankings.
> 
> _Note: Team rankings are based on where members of our panel (ESPN’s Anthony Slater, Dave McMenamin, Jamal Collier, Michael C. Wright, Bobby Marks, Tim Bontemps, Tim MacMahon, Vincent Goodwill and Zach Kram) think teams belong._

> ## 1. Oklahoma City Thunder
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 51-15
> - **Previous ranking:** 1
> - **Next games:** vs. BOS (March 12), vs. MIN (March 15), @ ORL (March 17)
> 
> The return of Ajay Mitchell was lost in the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander fireworks show on Monday night against the Nuggets.
> 
> Mitchell had missed 20 games because of both oblique and ankle injuries, but looked every bit himself in 29 productive bench minutes, scoring 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting with an array of slick drives and self-created pull-ups.
> 
> Mitchell could be one of the most important reserves in the next few months, especially as Jalen Williams tries to ease back into the lineup after a recurring hamstring problem. – _Anthony Slater_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 2. San Antonio Spurs
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 48-17
> - **Previous ranking:** 4
> - **Next games:** vs. DEN (March 12), vs. CHA (March 14), @ LAC (March 16), @ SAC (March 17)
> 
> The Spurs wanted to test themselves on their longest homestand of the season against a variety of contending teams with different styles and personnel as they transition into playoff-preparation mode.
> 
> So far, San Antonio is passing with flying colors with a win over Detroit, a 25-point comeback victory over the LA Clippers and a 25-point trouncing of in-state rival Houston.
> 
> The tests continue after a big win on Tuesday over the Boston Celtics, as the Spurs close out their homestand this week hosting the Denver Nuggets on Thursday before a Saturday matchup against the surging Charlotte Hornets. – _Michael C. Wright_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 3. Boston Celtics
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 43-22
> - **Previous ranking:** 5
> - **Next games:** @ OKC (March 12), vs. WAS (March 14), vs. PHX (March 16)
> 
> Jayson Tatum is back, and his first two games couldn’t have gone better. Not only did the Celtics pick up a pair of victories with Tatum back in action, but he – quite remarkably – looked like he hadn’t missed any time at all, outside of his shot being a bit off. He shot a combined 12-of-32 in Boston’s wins over the Mavericks and Cavaliers.
> 
> Tatum’s return has only reinforced the notion that Boston is, once again, the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. – _Tim Bontemps_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 4. Detroit Pistons
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 48-18
> - **Previous ranking:** 3
> - **Next games:** vs. PHI (March 12), vs. MEM (March 13), @ TOR (March 15), @ WAS (March 17)
> 
> Adversity, meet the Pistons. Even with Cade Cunningham getting a night off and missing Ausar Thompson with a right ankle sprain, Detroit shouldn’t have given away 107-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, but they rebounded with a 138-100 win over the very same Nets on Tuesday.
> 
> Thompson’s ankle should have him out around a week, sources tell ESPN, but the Pistons want to be sure he’s OK before allowing him to play. He’s their most versatile defender, and his perimeter defense in particular was sorely missing in their loss to Miami on Sunday.
> 
> For a team that creates offense with its defense, any small slippage shows exponentially, and that’s where the Pistons are. – _Vincent_ _Goodwill_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 5. New York Knicks
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 41-25
> - **Previous ranking:** 6
> - **Next games:** @ UTAH (March 11), @ IND (March 13), vs. GS (March 15), vs. IND (March 17)
> 
> It might not be time to panic after a weekend in Los Angeles, but losing to the Lakers and Clippers on back-to-back days following one of their most impressive wins of the season – an utter beatdown in Denver against the rarely-whole Nuggets – isn’t ideal.
> 
> Mikal Bridges often gets lost in the offense and went nearly six quarters over the weekend without a bucket. They need him engaged on both ends to keep their defense at the level it’s been the last two months. Going scoreless against the Lakers and scoring just seven against the Clippers raised some eyebrows. – _Goodwill_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 6. Minnesota Timberwolves
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 40-25
> - **Previous ranking:** 7
> - **Next games:** @ LAC (March 11), @ GS (March 13), @ OKC (March 15), vs. PHX (March 17)
> 
> The last 10 games entering Tuesday night’s showdown with the Lakers fairly perfectly encapsulate Minnesota’s season.
> 
> The Timberwolves went 8-2 in that stretch, including an impressive win over the Nuggets. But in the two losses, the Wolves lost to a pair of mid-tier East teams – Philadelphia, which was playing without guys on the second night of a back-to-back, and Orlando – by 27 points each.
> 
> That underscores the volatility surrounding the Wolves on a nightly basis, and why they remain so confounding in determining where they sit in the West pecking order. – _Bontemps_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 7. Houston Rockets
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 40-24
> - **Previous ranking:** 9
> - **Next games:** @ DEN (March 11), vs. NO (March 13), vs. LAL (March 16)
> 
> Houston’s inconsistency showed up in a major way Sunday as the Rockets suffered their largest defeat of the season against the San Antonio Spurs – just the team’s second 25-point loss over the past two seasons. The Rockets allowed 25 points off turnovers and struggled to contain San Antonio guards De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, who combined for 43 points, at the point of attack.
> 
> Center Alperen Sengun ranks as the Rockets’ second-leading scorer (20.4 PPG) behind Kevin Durant, but he has been inconsistent in March with his scoring average dropping by nearly six points from last month. – _Wright_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 8. Cleveland Cavaliers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 40-25
> - **Previous ranking:** 8
> - **Next games:** @ ORL (March 11), @ DAL (March 13), vs. DAL (March 15), @ MIL (March 17)
> 
> The top four teams in the East have created some distance between themselves and the rest of the conference, which sets the final month of the season up as a playoff-seeding battle.
> 
> Cleveland sits at the No. 4 seed, but the Cavs are only a half-game back from the No. 3 seed, which could be the difference in a second-round matchup with Detroit or Boston.
> 
> Which side of the bracket they prefer to land on could present an interesting dilemma for the Cavs, especially with such a light schedule coming up. Following Wednesday’s game against the red-hot Magic, the Cavs play the Mavericks twice before games with the Bucks, Bulls and Pelicans. – _Jamal_ _Collier_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 9. Denver Nuggets
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 39-26
> - **Previous ranking:** 3
> - **Next games:** vs. HOU (March 11), @ SAS (March 12), @ LAL (March 14), vs. PHI (March 17)
> 
> The Nuggets have lost both games since Aaron Gordon’s return from a hamstring strain, but his performance in Oklahoma City was encouraging.
> 
> Gordon scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 28 minutes in the loss to the defending champion Thunder. And wing Peyton Watson is close to returning from his hamstring strain, potentially by the end of the week, sources said. – _Tim MacMahon_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 10. Los Angeles Lakers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 40-25
> - **Previous ranking:** 10
> - **Next games:** vs. CHI (March 12), vs. DEN (March 14), @ HOU (March 16)
> 
> Luke Kennard has scored in double digits in four of the Lakers’ past six games coming into Tuesday’s matchup against Minnesota – all of them wins – and L.A.'s trade deadline pickup is chasing history, too.
> 
> Only six players in history have ever finished a season shooting 50% or better from 3 for an entire season, and Kennard has a shot at doing so, shooting 50% from deep so far. He just missed the cut in 2022-23, finishing that season at 49.4%. – _Dave_ _McMenamin_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 11. Miami Heat
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 37-29
> - **Previous ranking:** 15
> - **Next games:** vs. MIL (March 12), vs. ORL (March 14), @ CHA (March 17)
> 
> Bam Adebayo’s 83-point performance on Tuesday aside – which is a _big_ aside – the offense in Miami has been a case study of inconsistency.
> 
> In the first 15 games of the season, the Heat ranked eighth in offense before they plummeted into the bottom 10 over their next 30 games. Since the All-Star break, the Heat are 8-2 and rank first in offense and points per game as they moved into a tie for sixth place in the East heading into Wednesday’s games.
> 
> In those 10 games, Tyler Herro has averaged 22.2 PPG, while shooting 50.3 FG% and 45 3P%, as the Heat are one of three unbeaten teams in March. – _Bobby_ _Marks_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 12. Phoenix Suns
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 38-27
> - **Previous ranking:** 13
> - **Next games:** @ IND (March 12), @ TOR (March 13), @ BOS (March 16), @ MIN (March 17)
> 
> Phoenix won four out of five before starting a season-long six-game road trip Tuesday in Milwaukee, a game that the Suns won 129-114.
> 
> Devin Booker’s usage rate is at 33.8% in March – his highest in any month this season – as the five-time All-Star has fully taken the reins for the Suns while Dillon Brooks is out with a fractured left hand. They enter Wednesday 1.5 games out of the No. 6 spot in the West. – _McMenamin_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 13. Orlando Magic
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 35-28
> - **Previous ranking:** 16
> - **Next games:** vs. CLE (March 11), vs. WAS (March 12), @ MIA (March 14), @ ATL (March 16), vs. OKC (March 17)
> 
> The month of March has been kind to the Magic: Orlando is 4-1 and recently defeated Minnesota on the road by 27 points.
> 
> In the past five games, Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane have combined to average 48 PPG as a duo with both players shooting greater than 50% from the field. As a result of their 7-3 record since the All-Star break, the Magic are seventh in the Eastern Conference but only a half-game out of fifth. Their defense ranks second since the break, a crucial factor as the Magic try to hold on to a playoff spot in the East. – _Marks_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 14. Toronto Raptors
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 36-28
> - **Previous ranking:** 11
> - **Next games:** @ NO (March 11), vs. PHX (March 13), vs. DET (March 15)
> 
> Since last week, Toronto’s odds of landing a top-six seed have fallen from nearly 70% to just 57%, as of Tuesday morning.
> 
> That’s not necessarily Toronto’s fault, but rather a reflection of simultaneous winning streaks from Miami and Orlando. The Raptors need to string together some wins of their own to keep pace, however, and they haven’t won more than two games in a row since January – they have a 7-8 record since that last winning streak ended. – _Zach_ _Kram_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 15. Atlanta Hawks
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 34-31
> - **Previous ranking:** 17
> - **Next games:** vs. BKN (March 12), vs. MIL (March 14), vs. ORL (March 16)
> 
> The Hawks and “defense” have not been linked together in prior seasons. But since the All-Star break, Atlanta is 9-1 and has the best defensive rating in the league. Over that stretch heading into Tuesday, the Hawks rank fourth in points off turnovers and fast-break points. In the eight wins opponents have turned the ball over, on average, 16.6 times per game. – _Marks_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 16. LA Clippers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 32-32
> - **Previous ranking:** 18
> - **Next games:** vs. MIN (March 11), vs. CHI (March 13), vs. SAC (March 14), vs. SAS (March 16)
> 
> This Clippers team clearly has no quit in them, reaching .500 this week at 32-32 for the first time since they started the season 3-3. They’ve won five out of their past six games – with the only loss in that stretch coming to the San Antonio Spurs by four.
> 
> The 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard is averaging 27.9 points – the highest scoring average of his 15-year career. – _McMenamin_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 17. Charlotte Hornets
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 33-33
> - **Previous ranking:** 14
> - **Next games:** @ SAC (March 11), @ SAS (March 14), vs. MIA (March 17)
> 
> The good news for Charlotte is that the 11th-place Bucks’ struggles since Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return mean the Hornets are a near-lock to at least reach the play-in tournament.
> 
> The bad news? Consecutive losses against Miami and Phoenix – at the same time that Miami, Orlando and Atlanta were on winning streaks – have reduced Charlotte’s odds of climbing out of the 9 vs. 10 play-in game to the 7 vs. 8 game, or even a top-six seed. – _Kram_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 18. Philadelphia 76ers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 35-30
> - **Previous ranking:** 12
> - **Next games:** @ DET (March 12), vs. BKN (March 14), vs. POR (March 15), @ DEN (March 17)
> 
> The injuries continue to pile up for Philadelphia, which is now without Joel Embiid (oblique), Tyrese Maxey (finger) and VJ Edgecombe (back) in addition to Paul George remaining out due to suspension.
> 
> As a result, the 76ers are now firmly in the play-in mix in the Eastern Conference standings – they sit at No. 8 ahead of a game at Detroit on March 12 – and have the potential to slide even further as long as these absences continue to linger. – _Bontemps_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 19. Golden State Warriors
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 32-33
> - **Previous ranking:** 19
> - **Next games:** vs. MIN (March 13), @ NYK (March 15), @ WAS (March 16)
> 
> It’s going to be difficult for the Warriors to hold off the surging Clippers for the eighth seed.
> 
> The Clippers have won five of six and have six of their next eight games against lottery teams. The Warriors, meanwhile, are about to go on a six-game road trip that includes games against the Knicks, Pistons and Celtics.
> 
> If it comes down to the final week, the Warriors and Clippers meet on the regular season’s final day – April 12 in Los Angeles. – _Slater_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 20. Portland Trail Blazers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 31-35
> - **Previous ranking:** 20
> - **Next games:** vs. UTAH (March 13), @ PHI (March 15), @ BKN (March 16)
> 
> It’s been a difficult third season for former No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson. He missed a majority of it because of a serious preseason hamstring injury.
> 
> In his 13 games since returning, Henderson has made only 39% of his shots and 25% of his 3s. He did flash a glimpse this past weekend, however, scoring 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting. His ability to get his development back on track and improve his efficiency will partially determine whether this midtier Blazers team can level up heading into next season. – _Slater_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 21. Milwaukee Bucks
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 27-37
> - **Previous ranking:** 21
> - **Next games:** @ MIA (March 12), @ ATL (March 14), vs. IND (March 15), vs. CLE (March 17)
> 
> Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 26 minutes in his first three games back after returning from injury … and the Bucks dropped three of their first four games after his return – he missed a game due to his previously injured calf – often by large margins.
> 
> Milwaukee lost by 39 points to Orlando on Sunday (the game Antetokounmpo missed), 18 points to Atlanta and 27 points to Boston before that. The blowout losses are far from the level Milwaukee needs to play at for a team with aspirations of still making the postseason.
> 
> The Bucks will face Miami and Atlanta, a pair of teams ahead of them in the play-in tournament, on the road this weekend. – _Collier_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 22. Chicago Bulls
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 27-38
> - **Previous ranking:** 23
> - **Next games:** @ LAL (March 12), @ LAC (March 13), vs. MEM (March 16)
> 
> The Bulls lost to the Sacramento Kings, the team with the league’s worst record, this week as they continue their downward spiral post trade deadline.
> 
> But Josh Giddey did finish with his 16th career triple-double in that game, breaking a tie with Scottie Pippen for the second most triple-doubles in franchise history. He now trails only Michael Jordan, who has the team record with 28. A small bright spot during Chicago’s second half of the season. – _Collier_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 23. Memphis Grizzlies
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 23-41
> - **Previous ranking:** 22
> - **Next games:** vs. DAL (March 12), @ DET (March 13), @ CHI (March 16)
> 
> The Grizzlies had racked up six losing streaks this season of four-plus games after suffering just two such skids last season. They added a seventh straight loss on Tuesday.
> 
> Memphis general manager Zach Kleiman has said the team’s rebuild isn’t going to turn into a long, “drawn out five-year process,” however. Star guard Ja Morant wants to be a part of it despite the team listening to offers at the trade deadline for the two-time All-Star.
> 
> In his first comments since January, Morant recently said he hopes to remain with the Grizzlies beyond this season but it’s unclear whether we’ll see him play again this season. The team announced on March 6 it would reevaluate Morant’s injured left elbow in two weeks. – _Wright_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 24. New Orleans Pelicans
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 21-45
> - **Previous ranking:** 25
> - **Next games:** vs. TOR (March 11), @ HOU (March 13), vs. DAL (March 16)
> 
> Zion Williamson bounced back quickly from his ankle injury and has now played in four consecutive games for a New Orleans team that has won two of its past three.
> 
> Point guard Dejounte Murray has said he’d like to see the Pelicans push for a berth in the play-in tournament but that won’t be easy, considering New Orleans’ 13th-place standing in the West.
> 
> Interim coach James Borrego wants to remain at the helm beyond this season but needs to impress the brass with a strong finish. Four of the Pels’ next five games feature opponents currently at .500 or better. – _Wright_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 25. Dallas Mavericks
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 21-44
> - **Previous ranking:** 24
> - **Next games:** @ MEM (March 12), vs. CLE (March 13), @ CLE (March 15), @ NO (March 16)
> 
> Improving the shooting around Cooper Flagg will be one of the Mavs’ priorities as they build around the prized rookie, who has already proved to be a dynamic driver despite the team’s spacing problems.
> 
> The Mavs rank second to last in the league in 3-pointers made (10.6 per game) and 28th in 3-point percentage (33.9). – _MacMahon_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 26. Utah Jazz
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 20-45
> - **Previous ranking:** 26
> - **Next games:** vs. NYK (March 11), @ POR (March 13), @ SAC (March 15)
> 
> Utah improved to 3-20 in games missed by forward Lauri Markkanen this season after Monday’s home win over the Warriors. Markkanen has missed the past seven games after injuring his hip in practice and there is no timetable for his return.
> 
> The Jazz previously shut down Jaren Jackson Jr. for the season due to knee surgery on Feb. 17. – _MacMahon_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 27. Brooklyn Nets
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 15-46
> - **Previous ranking:** 29
> - **Next games:** @ ATL (March 12), @ PHI (March 14), vs. POR (March 16)
> 
> Don’t look now but the streaking, red-hot Brooklyn Nets must be reckoned with. … But seriously, the Nets walking down the Cade-less Pistons in Detroit after falling behind by 20-plus on Saturday – while ending a 10-game losing streak – was a story of resilience.
> 
> They followed it up with a game they perhaps didn’t care to truly win, a 126-115 win over a similarly-lottery bound Memphis Grizzlies team. Ziaire Williams is on one of his best stretches recently, averaging 16.3 points on 53% from 3 in his past four games. – _Goodwill_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 28. Washington Wizards
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 16-48
> - **Previous ranking:** 27
> - **Next games:** @ ORL (March 12), @ BOS (March 14), vs. GS (March 16), vs. DET (March 17)
> 
> Trae Young made his Wizards debut last week, but his new team is still approaching the All-Star’s return conservatively.
> 
> In his first two games as a Wizard, Young played just 37 total minutes, averaging 14.5 points and 7.0 assists on 53% shooting (40% on 3s). The Wizards lost both games, including against Utah in a matchup of teams with top-eight-protected draft picks. – _Kram_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 29. Indiana Pacers
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 15-50
> - **Previous ranking:** 29
> - **Next games:** vs. PHX (March 12), vs. NYK (March 13), @ MIL (March 15), @ NYK (March 17)
> 
> The Pacers’ starting lineup is healthier than it has been in a while after Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith returned. And yet, the big losses haven’t stopped: As of Tuesday, the Pacers had lost nine games in a row – the last _six_ by double digits – and their last eight opponents had scored at least 125 points in every game.
> 
> That’s one way to attempt to retain their top-four-protected pick in the upcoming draft. – _Kram_
> 
> * * *
> 
> ## 30. Sacramento Kings
> 
> - **2025-26 record:** 16-50
> - **Previous ranking:** 30
> - **Next games:** vs. CHA (March 11), @ LAC (March 14), vs. UTAH (March 15), vs. SAS (March 17)
> 
> Rookie center Maxime Raynaud remains one of the few bright spots in what profiles as a deep rebuild for the Kings.
> 
> The second-rounder has double-doubles in seven of his past 11 games, putting up 26 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in a recent win over the Bulls. If the Kings move Domantas Sabonis this summer as part of a youth movement, there is a decent chance Raynaud could open next season as Sacramento’s starting center. – _Slater_
