73. I think I need Artificial Intelligence to figure the Nuggets out. They were 9-1, and have dropped 3 straight since. One obvious problem: <a rel=. 9-4. Previous: 5th. Denver Nuggets. 5. team

4. team. 34. The Blazers took 5 of 6 in their just-completed homestand. Now they head out for 6 roadies, with the finale against the Warriors. Their impressive record isn’t a fluke. Lillard and McCollum are a deadly backcourt, and Josef Nurkic is once again a force at center. They are even receiving production from power forwards <a rel=. 10-3. Previous: 13th. Portland trail blazers

The Warriors’ only problem is avoiding boredom and injuries. <a rel=. 11-2. Previous: 2nd. Golden State Warriors. 3. team. 41

10-3. Previous: 3rd. Milwaukee bucks. 2. team. 89. The Bucks settle in for a long homestand which should spike their already-hefty win total. Giannis went donut for five in their victory over Denver – from the free-throw line. If the Freak could shoot, this team might win 70 games. Their length and depth is impressive. At the moment, Milwaukee is a bigger threat to Toronto’s aspirations than Boston or Philly.

team. 81. The Raptors uprising is exemplified by Pascal Siakam, named Player of the Week in the East. He’s burned everyone he’s faced, scoring efficiently and pulling down rebounds galore. Kawhi Leonard is being used sparingly and to great effect. The double-center plan has been a success. How long can they keep the fun going?. 12-1. . Toronto Raptors. 1
