Exploring a few teams that have a rising and falling stock a couple of weeks into the 2023-24 NBA season. 

The 2023-24 NBA season is only a couple of weeks old. Most teams haven’t even played 10 regular-season games yet. Despite that, there are already some teams that have played above or below expectations.

In this article, we’ll explore a few teams whose stock is trending upward through the first handful of games of the season and a few teams whose stock is quickly falling.

Boston Celtics: Trending upward

Heading into the season, there was much hype surrounding the Boston Celtics. After acquiring Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday during the offseason, it’s no surprise that the Celtics quickly emerged as the favorite to win the 2024 NBA Championship. For a team that entered the offseason in need of finding a final piece of their championship puzzle, the Celtics’ front office did about as best as they possibly could.

And somehow, even despite the large amount of hype that followed this team heading into the start of the season, the Celtics have managed to look even better to start the season. Through the first six games of the season, the Celtics are 5-1. Boston has the best offense, a top 7 defense, and easily the best net rating in the NBA.

At least for now, the Celtics are the best team in the league. And the scary part of it all is that there’s a chance we haven’t even seen this team at its peak.
