Your Pre All-Star Break NBA Standings

The All-Star break is here and now teams have a week to get back to the basics or even just to take a second to try and get healthy. The biggest and best stars are spending their time entertaining us this weekend at the All-Star festivities, something we’re all excited about.

Heading into the break, who is leading the way? Well, there are two surprises at the top of each conference if you as us. Everyone would have said the Golden State Warriors are the best in the Western Conference, yet they’re .5 games behind the Rockets.
