There is a lot of average basketball being played in the NBA’s regular season. Do not get me wrong: Average for this league is pretty damn good. But 11 teams are within two games of .500.
You wonder who is winning. The Minnesota Timberwolves are as average as it gets. No Jimmy Butler. No Ja Morant. No Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving. Everyone on the Orlando Magic is injured. The Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers cannot decide if they want to be good. LeBron James is 40 years old. Even the Boston Celtics are slumping.
