2. Toronto Raptors (9-1)
Last week: 2
The Toronto Raptors are still undefeated with Kawhi Leonard plays and they are coming off an absolute beatdown of the Lakers, without Kawhi. If you thought the Raptors were Kawhi or die, Sunday night’s huge win over Los Angeles should be a reminder that this team is the complete package.
With every game they play, they’re looking more and more like the only real competition for the Warriors in the NBA right now. Of course, a lot can change over the course of the next few months, but the Raptors look like a real threat right now.
And they also appear to be the class of the Eastern Conference, despite all the talk about the Celtics. Toronto is for real, and are led by an absolute assassin.
