14. Cleveland Cavaliers

Are the Cleveland Cavaliers in the top 14?  Yes, this is not a mistake and you should be paying attention to what’s currently happening in Cleveland. A young and exciting team is beginning to rise and you should be all for it.

The addition of Evan Mobley has made this team that much more dangerous and while the injury to Collin Sexton will certainly hurt, the hope is that this team can survive it.

13. New York Knicks

The New York Knicks are 5-5 in their last 10 and this is probably more in line with who this team is. They have the potential and firepower to keep up with any team on any given night but also lack the consistency from a true No. 1 star – sorry, Julius Randle.

They’re a playoff team but not a true contender.
