A look around the league and the Web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.
C: Nylon Calculus. Seth Partnow, in a must-read column, is here to remind you that having fun with numbers that might seem impenetrable at first are just numbers, slugger. This really isn’t complicated stuff.
PF: ESPN the Magazine. The massive analytics feature that is adding a bit of fuel to this fire. This silly, silly fire.
SF: New York Times. As expected, the Cleveland Cavaliers are coming through with a top-ranked offense. It just took them half a season to find it.
SG: Basketball Insiders. Nate Duncan dives in on the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are chasing down a luxury tax season for the first time and dumping draft picks in a furious effort to win right bloody now.
PG: Hardwood Paroxysm. William Bohl echoes the same thoughts, as the Thunder reel happily from the trade deadline moves that were discussed on Monday.
6th: NBA.com. Shaun Powell does the same thing, reminding us of the fact that the 8th-seeded Thunder, winners of six straight and eight of nine, need to pounce in 2015.
7th: SB Nation. Russell Westbrook isn’t just gunning for the MVP in Kevin Durant’s absence; he’s gunning for the MVP full stop.
8th: Bucksketball. Assessing the Milwaukee Bucks’ financial future moving forward in the wake of the team’s trade deadline deal.
9th: Complex. Why the Atlanta Hawks aren’t unlike Southampton, an English football club. Both appear to be quite adept at finessing the competition, according to Justin Block.
10th: Blog-a-Bull. Taking an optimistic approach to the end of the somewhat-healthy Chicago Bulls’ season, including a surprising tidbit about the team’s inconsistent defense.
