Thunder
Jalen Williams still hasn’t played. Thunder has only lost one match. Since the rankings last week, they have thrashed the Kings by a combined total of 73 points. Since Oct. 28, they haven’t lost a game with less than 13 points. What more can I say?

Nuggets
Denver suffered a hard loss against the Kings on Saturday, but it was the second of two straight losses after the Rockets had fought a battle the night before. Schedule loss. Aaron Gordon’s injury is a concern, even though Denver is still the best team in the league.

Rockets
Houston’s team lost 112-109 to Denver on Friday. It was the first defeat for more than two week. The Rockets, along with OKC are one of the two teams that have a rating in the top five in both offensive and defense.

Pistons
At what point will we accept that the Pistons may be the best East team? They haven’t lost for nearly a whole month. Defense. Offensive rebounding No. 1 paint point. No. Two points for turnovers. Jaden Ivey is back. Cade Cunningham is 4 for 27, or 28%, on catch-and-3s. This means the Pistons’ defense will only get tougher.
