As the NBA enters February, the month of the All-Star break, teams have now played approximately 49 of the 82 regular-season games. With the trade deadline approaching, multiple teams are making bold moves to secure their playoff positions.

One of the biggest movers in the Western Conference standings this week is the Memphis Grizzlies. On January 31 (JST), they faced the then-second-place Houston Rockets in a tightly contested showdown. The game came down to the final moments, with Jaren Jackson Jr. sinking two clutch free throws with nine seconds remaining to seal a dramatic 120-119 victory. With this win and a two-game winning streak, the Grizzlies have now climbed to 2nd place, just 0.5 games ahead of the Rockets.

While there haven’t been drastic changes in the standings beyond the Grizzlies’ rise, the Western Conference has been buzzing with blockbuster trades.

In a shocking three-team trade on February 2, last season’s scoring champion Luka Dončić was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. In exchange, the Lakers sent 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis to Dallas, reshaping both teams’ lineups and playoff hopes.

Another major three-team deal took place on February 3, with the Sacramento Kings trading their star guard De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. This move pairs Fox with rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, creating a new dynamic duo that could shake up the bottom half of the standings.
