It’s still hard to pick against the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meeting again in The Finals. And the build-up to their Christmas Day meeting should be great. But, especially in the Western Conference, some threats to a Finals rematch are building up.
The San Antonio Spurs just keep rolling along, getting better and better defensively after a slow start on that end of the floor. The LA Clippers have regressed a little and will be missing Blake Griffin for a few weeks, but are too good not to be in the mix come April and May. And now, two more Western Conference teams are putting themselves in the conversation about the league’s elite.
The Houston Rockets are 10-0 in December, a stretch that began with a win at Golden State. Mike D’Antoni’s squad ranks second in defensive efficiency this month, climbing from 27th to 14th on that end of the floor in the last two weeks. The Rockets don’t just have a potent starting lineup anymore. With Patrick Beverley healthy and Eric Gordon coming off the bench, they’ve managed to build on leads when James Harden sits down.
The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are 11-2 since Nov. 23, with wins over Houston, Oklahoma City and Memphis. They’re only two losses in that stretch were by one point (to Miami) and to the Warriors in a game in which the Jazz were missing four starters. They’re one of four teams – the Warriors, Clippers and Spurs are the others – that ranks in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
There’s now a big five in the West and a big seven in the Power Rankings. Even with how well they’ve been playing, it’s been tough for the Rockets and Jazz to move up, because the other five teams have been really good too.
Before the Warriors have their Finals rematch in Cleveland, they’ll host the Jazz on Tuesday. The same night, the Spurs will visit the Rockets. So you don’t have to wait until Christmas to get two of the week’s best games, both of which will be on NBA TV.
1. Golden State Warriors
Last week: 1
Record: 24-4
Pace: 102.5 (3) OffRtg: 114.0 (2) DefRtg: 101.7 (4) NetRtg: +12.4 (1)
In need of centers this summer, the Warriors took a flyer on JaVale McGee, who they’re paying less than $1 million on a non-guaranteed deal. So far, it looks like a genius move. After he started two games for Zaza Pachulia last week, the Warriors’ starters with McGee at center have outscored their opponents by 43 points in 44 minutes. Even with Pachulia back on Saturday, Steve Kerr used that lineup for a few minutes against Portland and it may be something he continues to call on when the games get important. Speaking of important games, the Warriors lost three of them in a row against Sunday’s opponent.

2. San Antonio Spurs
Last week: 3
Record: 22-5
Pace: 96.1 (26) OffRtg: 108.6 (6) DefRtg: 101.5 (3) NetRtg: +7.2 (6)
It’s almost as if Tim Duncan’s retirement ceremony inspired the two remaining Spurs that have won multiple championships with him, as well as the defense that he anchored for 19 years. Tony Parker’s effective field goal percentage is at its lowest mark since his rookie year, but he has shot 53 percent with 21 assists and just four turnovers as the Spurs have won four straight games. And Manu Ginobili scored a season-high 17 points in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans. Only the Grizzlies and Rockets have been better defensively over their last 10 games and the Spurs are back where they were (in the top five) in 15 of Duncan’s 19 seasons. They’ll be tested this week, though the Clippers’ offense against which they had their worst defensive game of the season will be without its second best player.
This week: @ HOU, @ LAC, @ POR, vs. CHI
3. Houston Rockets
Last week: 5
Record: 21-7
Pace: 100.4 (9) OffRtg: 111.4 (4) DefRtg: 104.1 (14) NetRtg: +7.2 (5)
The Rockets (who have won their last six games that were within five points in the last five minutes) know how to close. They turned a three-point deficit into a four-point win with a 9-2 run in the final 1:47 of the fourth quarter against Brooklyn on Monday, and then turned a 12-point deficit into an overtime win with a 14-2 run in the final 2:05 in Minnesota on Saturday. Mike D’Antoni has used his Ryan Anderson-at-the-five lineup late in those close games, but hasn’t used it much otherwise. It has scored 46 points in just 16 minutes thus far, the Rockets are 10-0 in December, and James Harden was one rebound shy on Saturday from three straight triple-doubles.
This week: vs. SAS, @ PHX, @ MEM
4. Cleveland Cavaliers
Last week: 2
Record: 19-6
Pace: 98.7 (17) OffRtg: 111.4 (3) DefRtg: 104.3 (15) NetRtg: +7.1 (7)
Thursday’s game in Memphis was the Cavs’ first in a Western Conference arena, and they chose not to send their three best players. Allowing LeBron James periodic days off is understandable. Not only has he played 6,300 more minutes than any other player since he entered the league, he’s also averaged 38.5 minutes – second most in the league, behind a guy who’s played in two overtimes – in eight December games. It doesn’t help the depth that Chris Andersen is done for the season with a torn ACL, though this is a team that has played all season with no real point guard and no real center in its rotation. The Cavs are more positionless than the team they’re playing on Christmas.
This week: @ MIL, vs. MIL, vs. BKN, vs. GSW
5. Toronto Raptors
Last week: 4
Record: 19-8
Pace: 97.3 (23) OffRtg: 115.4 (1) DefRtg: 104.9 (18) NetRtg: +10.5 (2)
The Raptors jumped over the Warriors in offensive efficiency after Monday’s win over Milwaukee, and apparently, that wasn’t just a one-or-two-day, completely-unsustainable-with-their-low-assist-numbers-and-their-mid-range-shooting circumstance. They’ve scored better than 110 points per 100 possessions in 13 of their last 14 games, almost lapping the field in offensive efficiency over that stretch. It’s surely driving Dwane Casey crazy that the defense hasn’t been reliable (see Friday’s loss to Atlanta), but they now have two lineups (Patrick Patterson with the starters and Kyle Lowry with the bench) that have been better than the Warriors’ Death Lineup in at least 100 minutes.
This week: vs. BKN, @ UTA
6. Utah Jazz
Last week: 8
Record: 18-10
Pace: 93.2 (30) OffRtg: 108.3 (7) DefRtg: 100.8 (2) NetRtg: +7.5 (4)
The Jazz still aren’t whole – they got Derrick Favors, but not George Hill back last week – but have won 11 of their last 13 games, ranking in the top five in both offensive and defensive efficiency over that stretch, even though they’re not getting much from starting point guard Dante Exum. They’re also not getting much from Joe Johnson late in games, but have won five straight that were within five points in the last five minutes, knocking off the Grizzlies (the kings of within-five-in-the-last-five) on Sunday. Even with Hill out, they’re a lot more equipped to face the Warriors than they were two weeks ago.
This week: @ GSW, vs. SAC, vs. TOR
7. LA Clippers
Last week: 6
Record: 20-8
Pace: 98.7 (18) OffRtg: 110.5 (5) DefRtg: 101.9 (6) NetRtg: +8.6 (3)
The Clippers had won four straight games (over four teams with losing records), but had also suffered some defensive slippage entering Sunday’s game in Washington. And the slippage came back to bite them as they gave up 65 second-half points to the Wizards and saw their winning streak come to an end. They still rank first in first-half defensive efficiecy, but are now 21st in second-half defensive efficiency. Five of their next six games are against more teams with losing records, but they’re playing eight games (with three back-to-backs) over the last 12 days of December and will be missing Blake Griffin for at least a few weeks.
This week: vs. DEN, vs. SAS, vs. DAL, @ LAL
8. Memphis Grizzlies
Last week: 7
Record: 18-11
Pace: 95.5 (28) OffRtg: 98.7 (29) DefRtg: 99.3 (1) NetRtg: -0.6 (14)
The Grizzlies got Mike Conley back three weeks early, but lost their late-game magic upon his return. They lost close games to both the Kings and Jazz (going 0-for-6 on clutch shots) over the weekend and the one to tie the game against Sacramento wasn’t the only shot Conley missed in his two games back. He was 5-for-23, Marc Gasol was 10-for-40, and the Grizz have dropped to 29th in offensive efficiency, having scored less than 95 points per 100 possessions over the last two weeks. The Utah game began a tough stretch of schedule where 10 of 14 games are against teams currently over .500.
This week: vs. BOS, @ DET, vs. HOU
9. Oklahoma City Thunder
Last week: 9
Record: 16-11
Pace: 101.0 (7) OffRtg: 102.7 (19) DefRtg: 102.7 (10) NetRtg: +0.1 (13)
The Thunder had a couple of rough offensive games in Portland and Utah with Jerami Grant starting (for the injured Victor Oladipo) and Russell Westbrook shooting 32 percent. But against Phoenix on Saturday, Anthony Morrow started and Westbrook dished out a career-high 22 assists, capping off his 50th career triple-double with a ridiculous Shammgod on poor Tyler Ulis. That broke them out of a offensive funk (which went back to well before Oladipo got hurt), but after hosting the Hawks on Monday, they’ll play 14 of their next 18 games on the road with only four single-game homestands over a six-week stretch.
10. Boston Celtics
Last week: 11
Record: 15-12
Pace: 98.3 (19) OffRtg: 106.0 (9) DefRtg: 103.8 (13) NetRtg: +2.2 (9)
The Celtics are poking their head above the rest of the scrum of East teams behind the Cavs and Raptors. They hold a half game lead for third and are 6-2 against teams 4-10 after Friday’s win over the fourth-place Hornets (who were without Kemba Walker). After missing the previous four games, Isaiah Thomas totaled 49 points over the weekend, but the Cs won the two games with defense and rank fourth on that end of the floor in December. Brad Stevens is giving more minutes to a lineup with Jonas Jerebko at the four with the other four starters, which has scored 122 points per 100 possessions in 34 minutes thus far.
This week: @ MEM, @ IND, vs. OKC, @ NYK
11. Milwaukee Bucks
Last week: 17
Record: 13-12
Pace: 98.8 (16) OffRtg: 105.0 (12) DefRtg: 102.4 (8) NetRtg: +2.5 (8)
The Bucks swept their first of three straight home-and-home series, beating the Bulls by a total of 37 points on Thursday and Friday. Shooting was this team’s No. 1 concern before the season, but it has risen to 16th in 3-point percentage by hitting 10 or more threes in five of six games (for the first time since 2002) and shooting 41 percent from beyond the arc over that stretch. Jabari Parker is still taking just a few per game, but has shot 37 percent from 3-point range and already has more than twice as many threes this season (29) as he had in his first two seasons combined (13). He can dunk too.
12. Indiana Pacers
Last week: 15
Record: 14-14
Pace: 99.9 (11) OffRtg: 102.7 (20) DefRtg: 104.5 (16) NetRtg: -1.8 (17)
If the Pacers are a playoff team, this is the part of the season in which they should be securing a top-eight spot in the East. Wednesday’s game in Miami began a stretch where only three of 17 games are against teams (New York and Boston) that are currently over .500. But their offense was anemic (91 points scored per 100 possessions) in losses to the Heat and Pelicans before breaking through in Detroit on Saturday. Their starting lineup has been fine (plus-23 in 73 minutes) with Glenn Robinson III replacing Monta Ellis (out with a groin strain). Robinson and Paul George have still only played 104 minutes together all season.
This week: vs. WAS, @ NYK, vs. BOS
13. Charlotte Hornets
Last week: 12
Record: 15-13
Pace: 99.0 (13) OffRtg: 103.8 (15) DefRtg: 102.0 (7) NetRtg: +1.8 (10)
The Hornets’ bench really struggled as they lost four straight games for the second time this season. But it was their bench that gave them a lift as they salvaged their road trip through the East with a win in Atlanta on Saturday. It helped that Steve Clifford staggered his starters a little more than usual, with Cody Zeller playing a season-high 36 minutes. Their defense hasn’t been very good with rim-protector Roy Hibbert on the floor, their offense hasn’t been very good with floor-spacer Spencer Hawes on the floor, and they’ve been outscored by 20 points per 100 possessions (in limited minutes) with the back-up centers on the floor together.
This week: vs. LAL, vs. CHI
14. Detroit Pistons
Last week: 14
Record: 14-15
Pace: 95.6 (27) OffRtg: 102.9 (17) DefRtg: 101.8 (5) NetRtg: +1.1 (11)
Having played the East’s second toughest schedule thus far and holding the point differential (third best in the conference) of a 17-12 team, the Pistons should be at or near the top of your “Buy Low” list. But recent losses to the Sixers, Wizards and Pacers (in which they allowed 117 points per 100 possessions) sparked a players-only meeting on Saturday. The defense isn’t the only issue. Reggie Jackson has shot just 39 percent and the Pistons have been better (though not great) offensively with him off the floor since his return. With him on the floor, they’ve assisted on less than half of their baskets.
This week: @ CHI, vs. MEM, vs. GSW
15. Chicago Bulls
Last week: 10
Record: 13-13
Pace: 97.4 (22) OffRtg: 103.6 (16) DefRtg: 102.9 (11) NetRtg: +0.6 (12)
The Bulls were up 21 in the second quarter against Tom Thibodeau’s Wolves on Tuesday. Then they blew that game and trailed their two losses to the Bucks by 27 and 30 points. In games played between teams 3-10 in the East (all within two games of each other in the standings), the Bulls have the worst record. They’re 2-7 against the rest of the group and the two wins were their first two games of the season. The Bulls rank 28th offensively since Thanksgiving, they play three of their four games this week against top-seven defenses, and one of their most important offensive players – Nikola Mirotic – has been DNP-CD’d in each of the last two games.
This week: vs. DET, vs. WAS, @ CHA, @ SAS
16. New York Knicks
Last week: 13
Record: 14-13
Pace: 99.3 (12) OffRtg: 104.4 (13) DefRtg: 108.1 (26) NetRtg: -3.7 (22)
Brandon Jennings has given the Knicks a ton of energy and has been fun to watch. Madison Square Garden loves the guy. But the Knicks’ starting lineup with Jennings in place of Derrick Rose (who has missed four of the last six games and most of a fifth) has scored just 92 points per 100 possessions in 62 minutes together. Jennings has shot 28 percent on off-the-dribble jumpers (which have accounted for half his total shots) and shot 7-for-27 (26 percent) as the Knicks dropped three straight games to end their five-game trip. Reeling a bit, they have an important, three-game homestand this week.
This week: vs. IND, vs. ORL, vs. BOS
17. Washington Wizards
Last week: 20
Record: 12-14
Pace: 98.9 (15) OffRtg: 105.2 (11) DefRtg: 106.2 (22) NetRtg: -1.0 (15)
The Wizards won five of their last six games, taking care of business within the Eastern Conference to move within a game of eighth place and picking up a signature win against the Clippers on Sunday. Two days after swatting his brother and with his role potentially being reduced with the development of Kelly Oubre, Markieff Morris had his best game of the season (with Oubre out), scoring eight of his 23 points on a 21-6, fourth-quarter run that decided the game. The Wiz have the league’s seventh best offense in December, with two of the month’s top 10 scorers. But after Monday’s loss in Miami, they’re 0-4 when John Wall has scored 30-plus points.
This week: @ IND, @ CHI, @ MIL
18. Atlanta Hawks
Last week: 16
Record: 13-14
Pace: 101.2 (5) OffRtg: 101.6 (23) DefRtg: 102.6 (9) NetRtg: -1.1 (16)
On Tuesday, the Hawks allowed Orlando’s bottom five offense to have its best offensive game of the season. Three nights later, they were the first non-Cleveland Eastern Conference team to beat the Raptors, scoring more efficiently against Toronto than the Cavs did in any of their three wins. With their new starting lineup scoring 127 points per 100 possessions over the last five games, the Hawks have quickly evolved from good defensive team that struggled to score to a good offensive team that struggles to get stops. They led the league in defensive efficiency on Dec. 1 and have already fallen to ninth on that end of the floor.
This week: @ OKC, vs. MIN, @ DEN
19. Portland Trail Blazers
Last week: 18
Record: 13-16
Pace: 100.9 (8) OffRtg: 107.7 (8) DefRtg: 110.4 (30) NetRtg: -2.7 (18)
The Blazers have had other moments of reflection as they’ve gone 6-12 over the last five weeks, and they did get a good win over Oklahoma City on Wednesday. But losing to the Warriors by 45 points on Saturday was another nadir that elicited some locker room frustration. Their summer moves are not looking good. They’ve been outscored by 11.1 points per 100 possessions in 582 minutes with Allen Crabbe and Evan Turner on the floor together and Festus Ezeli (contemplating knee surgery) is getting paid $7.4 million to probably not play this season. They’re holding on to the eighth spot in the West, but have two games against the ninth-place Kings in the next 10 days.
This week: @ SAC, vs. DAL, vs. SAS
20. Orlando Magic
Last week: 19
Record: 12-17
Pace: 97.1 (24) OffRtg: 99.5 (28) DefRtg: 105.0 (19) NetRtg: -5.5 (26)
The December Magic are a lot different than the November Magic. Orlando has scored 10.3 more points per 100 possessions (the biggest OffRtg increase) and allowed 9.6 more points per 100 possessions (the second biggest DefRtg increase) in December than it did through November. The Magic got big games from starting forwards Serge Ibaka (29 against the Hawks on Tuesday) and Aaron Gordon (33 points against the Clippers on Wednesday) last week, but their starting lineup has been pretty bad, especially defensively, since it came together on Nov. 27. They are 5-2 on the road since the lineup change, with a couple of important road games (if they have playoff aspirations) this week.
This week: @ MIA, @ NYK, vs. LAL
21. Denver Nuggets
Last week: 24
Record: 11-16
Pace: 101.0 (6) OffRtg: 104.2 (14) DefRtg: 107.9 (25) NetRtg: -3.7 (21)
Maybe the Nuggets’ latest starting lineup – Emmanual Mudiay, Gary Harris, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Jokic – is the one that will work. It was a plus-10 in its first two games (as a starting unit) together, two games that the Nuggets never trailed. They had eight guys in double-figures in Thursday’s win over Portland and seven in Saturday’s win over New York. The new rotation is smaller – with Jusuf Nurkic and Darrell Arthur seeing minimal minutes – and hasn’t been very good defensively. So we’ll see how it works against teams that don’t rank in the bottom five in defensive efficiency themselves.
This week: vs. DAL, @ LAC, vs. ATL
22. Miami Heat
Last week: 23
Record: 9-19
Pace: 96.5 (25) OffRtg: 100.5 (25) DefRtg: 103.5 (12) NetRtg: -3.0 (20)
The Heat got Justise Winslow back from a 16-game absence last week, had some success with James Johnson playing center and got big numbers from their real center (Hassan Whiteside averaged 19.3 points and 18.0 rebounds in their four games). They remain a tough team to put away; Each of their last five games (all against decent or improving teams) has been within five points in the last five minutes and they picked up a couple of Eastern Conference wins against Washington and Indiana. But they’re still coming up short more often than not.
This week: vs. ORL, vs. LAL, @ NOP
23. Sacramento Kings
Last week: 22
Record: 10-17
Pace: 97.4 (21) OffRtg: 102.2 (21) DefRtg: 106.3 (23) NetRtg: -4.1 (23)
With the Blazers struggling, there’s an opportunity for the Nuggets or Kings to grab a playoff spot. But Sacramento gave DeMarcus Cousins a day off (after a day off) in Houston on Wednesday and came up empty in Dallas on Sunday. They have a top 10 defense over the last three weeks and out-uglied the Grizzlies on Friday, but rank 29th offensively in that same time, with Dave Joerger still looking for the right combinations on the wings (and Rudy Gay’s absence making things tougher on him). They’ve played 12 of their last 14 games on the road, but are traveling again after Tuesday’s game against the Blazers, with their first real homestand since Thanksgiving not coming until January.
This week: vs. POR, @ UTA, @ MIN
24. Minnesota Timberwolves
Last week: 26
Record: 7-19
Pace: 97.7 (20) OffRtg: 105.6 (10) DefRtg: 108.5 (27) NetRtg: -2.9 (19)
The Timberwolves were on the right side of a big turnaround on Tuesday, coming back from 21 points down to get Tom Thibodeau a win in his return to Chicago. The league is otherwise 0-138 after trailing by more than 20 points this season. But things got back to normal for the Wolves on Saturday, as they somehow blew a nine-point lead with less than a minute to go in regulation against Houston. Karl-Anthony Towns had three critical turnovers down the stretch of that game, has 16 total over the last four, and is one of four players (teammate Andrew Wiggins is another) with a usage rate over 27 percent and an assist-turnover ratio under 1.00.
This week: vs. PHX, @ ATL, vs. SAC, @ OKC
25. New Orleans Pelicans
Last week: 25
Record: 9-20
Pace: 100.3 (10) OffRtg: 100.4 (26) DefRtg: 104.6 (17) NetRtg: -4.2 (24)
Buddy Hield still has a long way to go with his overall game (he has the second lowest free throw rate among 141 players who have taken at least 200 shots from the field), but he found his jumper. He scored a career-high 21 points in Thursday’s win over the Pacers and is one of three guys who has shot 50 percent or better on at least 40 3-point attempts this month. The Pelicans got Tyreke Evans back last week, but still haven’t figured out their frontline. Alexis Ajinca has started the last six games at center and they’ve been outscored by 13.6 points per 100 possessions in 75 minutes with Ajinca and Anthony Davis on the floor together since then.
This week: @ PHI, vs. OKC, vs. MIA
26. Los Angeles Lakers
Last week: 21
Record: 11-19
Pace: 101.2 (4) OffRtg: 102.8 (18) DefRtg: 109.6 (29) NetRtg: -6.8 (28)
Remember when the Lakers were 7-5? They got a much-needed win in Philly on Friday behind a big game from Julius Randle, but are the only team with just one win in December and the only team that ranks in the bottom five in both offensive and defensive efficiency this month. They’re in the middle of their first two-day break since mid-November, but have played the most games in the league, still have three games left on their seven-game road trip, and play four games in six days (with their eighth back-to-back) this week. They do have Larry Nance Jr., though.
27. Dallas Mavericks
Last week: 30
Record: 7-20
Pace: 93.2 (29) OffRtg: 100.1 (27) DefRtg: 105.7 (21) NetRtg: -5.7 (27)
Without Dirk Nowitzki and Andrew Bogut, the Mavs have no clear formula for success. But they picked up a couple of wins last week by…
1. Scoring 21 fast break points (more than three times their season average) against Denver on Monday and …
2. Getting a rare lift from their bench against Sacramento on Sunday.
They might have won three games last week if Deron Williams didn’t shoot too early in Utah on Friday, leaving Rodney Hood plenty of time to get the game-winner on the other end. After that loss, the Mavs are 1-12 on the road, where they’ll play six of their seven remaining December games.
This week: @ DEN, @ POR, @ LAC

Record: 8-19
Pace: 103.4 (2) OffRtg: 101.5 (24) DefRtg: 106.6 (24) NetRtg: -5.2 (25)
Eric Bledsoe had three straight 30-point games and won Tuesday’s overtime game against the Knicks with an incredible drive. P.J. Tucker gave another guy – Carmelo Anthony – fits in that game, but the Suns haven’t been able to sustain any kind of success on either end of the floor. They’ve allowed 111 points per 100 possessions in December, they went from registering 33 fast break points (the fourth highest mark of the season) on Tuesday to not getting any in Oklahoma City on Saturday, and their assist percentage (AST/FGM) is down to 46.6, the lowest mark in the last 27 years.

Pace: 98.9 (14) OffRtg: 97.6 (30) DefRtg: 105.4 (20) NetRtg: -7.7 (30)
A healthy Nerlens Noel could really help the Sixers defensively. And the Sixers have a healthy Nerlens Noel. But he can’t play, because they also have a healthy Joel Embiid (who scored a career-high 33 points in Sunday’s win over Brooklyn) and a healthy Jahlil Okafor (who shot 0-for-10 in the same game). They have to make a trade and desperately need help in the backcourt, but they have minimal leverage with how the situation has played out. Noel is right in that he doesn’t deserve to be in this situation, not only because he’s a useful player who needs playing time, but also because no player has had to endure “the process” as much as he has.
This week: vs. NOP, @ PHX
30. Brooklyn Nets

Record: 7-19
Pace: 104.0 (1) OffRtg: 101.7 (22) DefRtg: 109.1 (28) NetRtg: -7.3 (29)
The one team that wants to sign Donatas Motiejunas (whose rights the Rockets renounced on Thursday) is the one team that isn’t allowed to (because the Rockets’ initially matched the Nets’ offer sheet) for another 12 months. The Nets did get Jeremy Lin back last week, but lost the three games he played because they came up short down the stretch in Houston, Orlando and Philadelphia. And the one game they won last week will be best remembered for Brook Lopez getting posterized. They’ve lost nine straight road games, but the strength of opponents (with the league’s top three offenses) will be the issue this week.
This week: @ TOR, vs. GSW, @ CLE
