14 hours ago | yardbarker.com | Grant Mona

The Clippers are heading into an offseason where there is more certainty than the previous one. After a 2024-2025 season where the Clippers finished 50-32 and 5th in the gauntlet that is the Western Conference, there still are questions. Kawhi Leonard returned in early January and propelled the Clippers to become a contender in the West alongside James Harden, Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac.

Coby White took a massive leap, averaging 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game on 45.3% shooting from the field. Josh Giddey also took a huge step after coming over in the Alex Caruso trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Giddey had a fantastic end to his 2024-2025 campaign, averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game and shooting 37.8% from three. Now, he is a restricted free agent and the Bulls will certainly look to retain him.

The Bulls have plenty of decisions to make with a roster that overachieved after the 2025 trade deadline, pushing them to the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference. Even though Chicago lost in their home Play-In Tournament game to the Miami Heat, the emergence of multiple players in the second half of the season should excite Bulls fans. Matas Buzelis looked like a promising player after his solid rookie campaign, and their backcourt duo surprised many over the course of the season.

The Nuggets had firm control of Tuesday night's Game 5 in Oklahoma City until a disastrous 4th quarter offensively from the Nuggets' role players. Outside of Nikola Jokic's 4 made field goals, the rest of the team went 1-for-15, with the only basket being in the final seconds. The lack of scoring buried them, as Denver now trails 3-2 in the series, heading back to Denver for an elimination game in Game 6.

The Dallas Mavericks shocked the sports world when they won the NBA Draft Lottery, jumping up multiple spots while having a less than 2% chance to get the number 1 pick. In a year where there is a consensus, generational talent available at the top of the draft in Cooper Flagg, the Mavericks struck gold. Just three months ago, the same Dallas organization traded its franchise cornerstone and generational prospect, Luka Doncic, to the Lakers in one of the most stunning trades in NBA history.

The Denver Nuggets have gotten great play out of Russell Westbrook so far in the playoffs, bringing an intensity and energy that the team severely needed throughout the season. Westbrook hit multiple clutch three-pointers against the Clippers and was a big reason why Denver won the series. After winning Game 1 in overtime, the Nuggets lost a close game to the Clippers in Game 2 to even the series.

Jayson Tatum went down with what looked like a serious injury late in the Boston Celtics' loss to the New York Knicks in Game 4. In what is considered a lower leg injury, Tatum had to be carried off the floor, putting no weight on his right leg. The Celtics were up by double digits in the game, and the Knicks stormed back behind 39 points from Jalen Brunson, 23 from Mikal Bridges, and 20 from OG Anunoby.

While Butler did have 33 points, he was held scoreless over the last 8 minutes of play, as the Timberwolves made their run to come back and win late. Green, on the other hand, only scored 2 points on 1-for-4 shooting and got into foul trouble early which contributed to his early exit in the 4th quarter. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was adamant about Green's impact on the Warriors on the defensive end, emphasizing his presence for the Warriors.

Draymond Green was not available for the last four minutes of the Golden State Warriors' loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 due to fouling out, and the team sorely missed his presence down low. Without Steph Curry until at least Game 6 (if the series advances that far), Golden State is going to need both Green and Jimmy Butler to step up in his absence on both sides of the basketball.
