The NBA Season is Approaching Its Midpoint

The NBA season edges towards its midpoint, with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder maintaining commanding leads in their respective conferences. With six-game margins over the second-place teams, the top two seeds appear set, but the competition for the remaining playoff spots is far from over.

As the 76th day of the regular season comes to a close, the focus shifts to February. The shortest month of the year brings with it fewer games (176 in total) and the NBA All-Star break. Yet, this February schedule offers crucial opportunities for teams to secure playoff positions and improve their seeding.

February Schedule Breakdown

The following analysis details the strength of schedule for each NBA team in February, sorted from the toughest to the easiest, based on cumulative opponent winning percentage.

Note: Rest-advantage games (where one team has the day off while the other plays) favor teams that rest. Teams generally perform better with rest, with win rates of 56%, 58%, and 54% at home and on the road respectively.
