The 2021-22 NBA Regular Season is almost in full swing with the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls, and last years champions, the [Milwaukee Bucks]] leading the Eastern Conference and the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns leading the west.

After a summer of major trades and new signings, the NBA full season is trying to get back to a more normalized season this year. They are going to return to the regular 82-game schedule as opposed to last seasons 72.

In addition to the Nets, Bulls, and the Bucks, the other three teams in the Eastern Conference top 6 are the Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Trailing behind the Cavaliers are the Boston Celtics and the Hornets. At the very bottom of the pile we have the Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and the Detroit Pistons.

On the Western end, other top 6 teams include the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Dallas Mavericks. Oklahoma City Thunder is at the very bottom with an unfortunate record of 6 wins and 16 losses. Just above them sit the Houston Rockets with the same win-loss record and just above the Rockets are the New Orleans Pelicans.

Kicked off last October 19, 2021, the season is expected to conclude in April 10, 2022 but prior to that, it will cater to the All-Star break which is scheduled for February 18 to 20, 2022. There will be four games on Christmas Day, December 25. It will be the Hawks VS Knicks, Celtics VS Bucks, Warriors VS Suns, Nets VS Lakers, and the Mavericks VS Jazz.
