6. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-10)

Fueling the Oklahoma City Thunder, Paul George is having a career year and not many are talking enough about his performance so far this season. George is averaging 25 points, eight rebounds and four assists per game. He’s been great.

Even though they’ve hit a little bit of a rough patch over the last two weeks, losing three of their last five games, they’re still third in the Western Conference and just one game back of the top spot.

The Thunder are quietly transforming into the team that could potential challenge the Warriors in the playoffs, what many thought they’d be able to do last season with Carmelo Anthony in the fold.
