1. Golden State Warriors (35-9)

As we all expected, the Golden State Warriors continue to roll on. Stephen Curry has missed time, Draymond Green has missed time and so has Kevin Durant. That hasn’t mattered.

The Golden State Warriors have the best record in the NBA, and have looked the part. They’re the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA Finals, and I’m not sure there’s a team out there that will even challenge them.

The Warriors face off against the Cavs Monday, in what could be a preview to the NBA Finals. It could be the first time the Warriors see the Cavs with a healthy Isaiah Thomas. It’ll be interesting to see how it unfolds.
