10. Oklahoma City Thunder (10-5)
Last week: 7
Even with Russell Westbrook sidelined due to injury, the Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t really missed a beat. Overall, this team has nine of their last 10 games overall, with their only misstep coming at the hands of the Mavericks.
Westbrook took a step in potentially returning to the floor soon, as he practiced with the team (lightly) over the weekend. The expectation is that he could return at some point this week, and it would be a huge shot in the arm for a team that is already playing at quite a high level.
This team is largely flying under the radar, as not many are talking about the potential of the Thunder.
