NBA Power Rankings: Buy or sell the Chicago Bulls atop the East?

14. Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have been one of the streakiest teams in the Eastern Conference this season. But when this team is playing at a high level, there is a lot to love about them. LaMelo Ball is dynamic and when their offense is humming, they’re difficult to stop.

13. Denver Nuggets

If it weren’t for the injury to Jamal Murray, a strong argument can be made that the Denver Nuggets would be a top 4 seed in the Western Conference. Especially at the level that Nikola Jokic is playing so far this season.

It’ll be interesting to see how this team looks when they’re fully healthy in what appears to be a wide-open West.
