The first 15 in 60 of the new year takes a look at the West:

• Denver completely destroyed the LA Clippers on Thursday, who have now lost 6 straight.
• MEM: Jaren Jackson, Jr. is in the midst of an unprecedented defensive season.
• NOP: Trey Murphy has taken a big step forward for the Pels this year.
• DAL: the offense when Luka is off the floor, as they fall to 0-4 without him
• SAC and LAL: The Kings’ defense has taken a step back and they lost a wild one against the suddenly hot Lakers
• PHX: The collapse of the Phoenix defense this year
• GSW: A rough loss to the Magic but reinforcements are on the way
• MIN and HOU: They played each other today, and I guess I have to talk about it. But Wolves have won 4 straight!
• POR: Anfernee Simons’ resilient offense
• UTA: Lauri Markkanen is scoring in unique ways and Ochai Agbaji is in the rotation
• OKC: The offense is taking the right shots, and why Shai is so hard to stop
• SAS: Devin Vassell’s season may be over, but he’s taken a big step forward this year.
