We come with another series of Power Rankings for the 2021-22 season of the best basketball in the world, the NBA, where each one of the teams knows that the second half of the regular season is already underway, so winning becomes an obligation for each of them.
After the NBA Eastern Conference was very close for several weeks, now we have the Miami Heat alone in first place in the table, 2 games above the Chicago Bulls, 3 games above the Sixers, and 4 games above the Bucks, therefore, have a slightly higher margin for error in their next few games.
While the Western Conference continues to be dominated by the Phoenix Suns, who do not slow down and maintain a 6-game lead over the Warriors, who are their closest pursuers.

One of the most interesting games of this new day in the NBA is, without a doubt, this one between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors, which will meet this Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at the Target Center, home of the Wolves.
The Timberwolves come to this day located in seventh place in the Western Conference, with a record of 33 wins and 29 losses. Their level of play throughout the season has been practically the same, so if they want to climb significant positions between now and the end of the regular season, they must achieve a change of strategy that allows them to win as many games as possible.
The Timberwolves are coming off a very good victory in their last game against the Cavaliers, with a score of 127-122.
For their part, the Golden State Warriors continue to escort the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference, but they must take advantage of the fact that the Suns seem to have fallen into a rut, since they have lost two consecutive games, to try to get as close as possible to the first place and fight again with them.
The Warriors come from losing their last game at home against the Mavericks, with a score of 101-107.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Warriors. If you put $100 on the Warriors at -160 you’ll be looking at a $62.50 win with a total payout of $162.50.
Timberwolves vs. Warriors Betting Pick: Warriors.
Bucks vs. Heat

Although we will have a strong dish this Tuesday with the game between Warriors and Timberwolves, this Wednesday everything seems to indicate that it will be better. We will have a great game between two of the best teams in the league that are fighting for the top of the NBA Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks host the conference leader, Miami Heat, at the Fiserv Forum this Wednesday, March 2, 2022.
The Bucks had a very slow start to the season, with many shortcomings in all facets of the game, but then they managed to find the rhythm of the game that led them to be champions last season, and now they are fighting for the first place in the East. Currently, the Bucks are in fourth place in the table, with a record of 37 wins and 25 losses, only 4 games behind the Heat.
For their part, the Heat continue to play at their highest level, proving that they are one of the most dangerous and powerful teams in the league. The Heat is leading the Eastern Conference standings, with a record of 41 wins and 21 losses, with 2 games ahead of the Bulls.
The Bucks are coming off a very good victory in their last game against the Hornets with a score of 130-106.
While the Heat come from crushing the Bulls with a score of 112-99.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Heat. If you put $100 on the Heat at -120 you’ll be looking at an $83.33 win with a total payout of $183.33.
Bucks vs. Heat Betting Pick: Heat.

The calendar continues and teams like the Warriors who still see a viable option to fight again for first place in the Western Conference, know the importance of winning at this point in the season. That is why, in this rematch that will be played between Warriors and Mavericks this Thursday, March 03, 2022, we will have an intense game full of many emotions.
The Warriors will seek to get rid of the thorn of their last loss against the Mavericks, which was unexpected since they played at home and the Warriors are one of the most difficult teams to beat at their ground.
On the other hand, we have the Mavericks, a team that has had several different facets throughout the season, but the best of them, without a doubt, was the one they had when they won many consecutive games and managed to worry the teams at the top of the Western Conference. Right now, the Mavericks are trying to find that level of play again to get past the Jazz and try to catch up with the Grizzlies.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Warriors. If you put $100 on the Warriors at -120 you’ll be looking at an $83.33 win with a total payout of $183.33.
Mavericks vs. Warriors Betting Pick: Warriors.
Celtics vs. Grizzlies
When: Thursday, March 03 at 07:30 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Celtics -120 / Grizzlies -120 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Where Can I Watch? ESPN / TNT
We end these Power Rankings with a great game between two teams that are currently experiencing the best moment of the season for them. The Boston Celtics host the Memphis Grizzlies at TD Garden this Thursday, March 3, 2022.
The Celtics must try to assert their home status to get a victory in this game that will help them continue climbing important positions in the Eastern Conference, now that the Heat is escaping in the first place and the other teams are somewhat vulnerable. The Celtics know that the Grizzlies have a great team, so they must play with a lot of concentration and try to avoid as many mistakes as they can make.
On the other hand, the Grizzlies are a team that, after the excellent winning streak they had in part of the regular season, managed to establish themselves in third place in the Western Conference and have their sights on the Warriors, who haven’t been playing well in recent weeks either. That is how important it is for the Grizzlies to get a victory in this game.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Grizzlies. If you put $100 on the Grizzlies at -120 you’ll be looking at an $83.33 win with a total payout of $183.33.
Celtics vs. Grizzlies Betting Pick: Grizzlies.
