NBA Power Rankings - Top 5 2024
Boston Celtics
In 2024, the Boston Celtics had a successful season, winning the NBA championship and solidifying their dominance in the league. Led by their star players, the Celtics showcased a historically great offense and standout defense, securing the best record in the NBA and cruising through the playoffs. They ultimately defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, celebrating their 18th NBA title and establishing themselves as a championship franchise.
Oklahoma City Thunder
A team known for their resilience and determination, faced a challenging season. With a roster in transition and young talent at the forefront, the Thunder focused on player development and building a foundation for the future. Led by the talented Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the team showcased moments of brilliance and potential. Despite the absence of immediate victories, the Thunder remained committed to their long-term vision. Their dedication to growth and improvement will undoubtedly set the stage for success in the upcoming seasons.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers clearly had the most impressive Week 1, beating the Wolves, Suns and Kings (with a rest disadvantage). It’s their first 3-0 start in 14 years. Having played their first three games at home, the Lakers now head out on a five-game trip that begins with tough games in Phoenix and Cleveland. LeBron James is 19-3 all-time (9-2 on the road) against the Cavs.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs had a soft schedule in Week 1, but they took care of business and became the first team since the 2017-18 Clippers with three double-digit wins in its first three games of the season. (The Thunder joined them one night later). The competition gets tougher this week, and no team held the Cavs to fewer points per 100 possessions last season than the Knicks, who won two of the three meetings.
New York Knicks
The Knicks’ mixed results in Week 1 were probably more about the opponents — the difference between the Celtics and everybody else — than the Knicks themselves. The Knicks’ early-season tests continue with a visit from the Cavs on Monday. They’ve won nine of their last 11 games against Cleveland, including a 4-1, first-round series in 2023 in which they dominated the glass.
