2. Toronto Raptors (13-4)

Last week: 2

The Toronto Raptors, even despite dropping a few games over the last two weeks, are still largely viewed as the second best team in the NBA, and probably the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this season.

Kawhi Leonard has been fantastic for the Raptors this season and is looking more and more comfortable with every passing game and day. If this trend continues, they’re probably a good chance that he will re-sign with the team during the summer.

There’s a ton to like about the Raptors so far this season, and this could finally be their year in the East.
