With a revamped roster, Doris From Rego Park has looked very solid despite a loss to SPR, and despite (F) Kyle Wilson missing a number of games this season. (G) David Weiss is playing MVP ball. The ice up here is looking very thin right now, though.

DYN
4-1
They gave up a 20-pt lead twice to TOF, or NY Dynasty would be 5-0 with a #1 ranking. But such is a team without (G) Ren Hsieh in the line-up. He’s been their pace-setter all season, and this week they’ll get to play DOR for the rights to the top spot.
3 (+1)
SPR
4-1
After an early loss in Week 2, Spaghetti Ramen has quietly snuck back into the race for the top seed. (G) Leuis Ng is back to his usual MVP #s and (F) Mark Hahn is looking as healthy and as much a terror on the defensive end as ever. They’re the defending champs for a reason.
4 (+1)
TOF
3-3
Stinky Tofu has climbed back into relevance after losing 3 of their first 4. (F) Carson Yiu has been solid as ever, another MVP candidate to be sure. (C) Jason Chan still anchors the D, but it’s (G) Paul Savino that’s made the difference. When he plays well, particularly on D, TOF thrives.
5 (+1)
SKL
3-3
Skillshare has clinched a playoff spot so they can breathe easy now. It’s been a choppy regular season with guys in and out of the lineup, but this is a team built for the playoffs. Big front-line with smart, dynamic guards in the backcourt. SKL will be a dark horse contender.
6 (-3)
FRE
3-3
Rookie (G) Steven Wong has been the Freemasons best and most consistent player all season. It’s when they can get contributions from the role player that they can make some noise, this is a tough defense. Luckily, they’re locked for playoffs, beating the teams they needed to.
7 (=)
DEM
2-3
After losing their first two, Dem Boyz has won 2 of their last 3 to get back into the playoff race. They need a win over LEG this week to lock up their playoff spot. (G) Gabe Melendez has been a great addition to the team, giving DEM more perimeter offense and defensive energy.
8 (=)
MYP
2-3
Since MYPC lost the tie-breaker to LEG, they can’t afford to finish with just two wins. They’ll have to beat FRE, or tougher yet, SPR in the next two weeks. (G) Steve Shin has carried this team but when they get good games from (F) Jim Yang, that’s when MYP can make a move.
9 (=)
LEG
2-4
Just one more win will do it. If Lego can beat DEM, they’ll secure a spot in the playoffs. They have solid pieces to get it done, but they need all hands on deck. (C) Danius Giedraitis has been a solid defensive presence, and LEG has a deep, skilled backcourt. One more win.
10 (=)
FAT
0-6
Unfortunately, the Fatties are out of playoff contention, but they’ve had some solid moments. (G) Alex Yu and (F) James An have been two of the league’s more entertaining players to watch.
