It’s been an odd NBA season thus far. Plenty of teams have exceeded expectations, but just as many are struggling to meet them. The Chicago Bulls are a prime example, as they got off to a rough start, but lately, they’ve been picking up the pace. It’s been a similar story around the league.
The Philadelphia 76ers have won six games in a row, tied with the LA Clippers for the longest win streak in the NBA. Meanwhile, the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors just can’t seem to get out of their own way. They’ve lost three games in a row and are 4-6 in their last 10 games.
Obviously, a lot can change throughout the course of the season, but now that we’re roughly 25 games into the year, the playoff picture is slowly starting to take shape.
Let’s take a look at what the NBA power rankings are looking like so far this year.
