March will be a very interesting month. They play a brutal 15 games in 30 days. That's also the month with the six game road trip. The good news is that they play some pretty bad teams in March as well. Only four of the games are against the Western Conference. They play two games each against Boston and the Knicks and one against Atlanta.
