New Orleans: 11 home games, 12 road games, 14 against teams over .500, 10 against teams under .500, 8 back to backs

San Antonio: 12 H, 12 R, 15 + .500, 9 -.500, 5 B2B

Dallas: 13 H, 9 R, 13 +.500, 9 -.500, 3 B2B

Houston: 11 H, 12 R, 12 +.500, 11 -.500, 5 B2B

Denver: 11 H, 12 R, 14 +.500, 9 -.500, 6 B2B

Utah: 13 H, 9 R, 13 +.500, 9 -.500, 4 B2B

LA: 13 H, 9 R, 12 +.500, 10 - .500, 3 B2B

Phoenix: 11 H, 12 R, 16 +.500, 7 -.500, 5 B2B

Golden State: 10 H, 14 R, 14 +.500, 10 -.500, 7 B2B

Who do you predict to be the odd team out based on the current standings and what teams have left to play? Golden State, Phoenix, Denver, San Antonio and New Orleans all have it tough, while LA, Dallas and Utah have it pretty easy.

I would say Golden State, because of most road games, most back to back.

I'll pencil in Phoenix as a dark horse if they keep playing such poor defense - besides for the Boston game (probably Bostons worst shooting game of the year - Pierce 2-13, Allen 3-12) the Suns are giving up 119.6 ppg on average since Shaq joined the lineup - playing like this , Phoenix will not win any games against +.500 teams.
