As the NBA season continues to take shape, the race at the top is getting tighter by the week. Contenders are separating themselves, dark horses are making noise, and every game is starting to carry extra weight. With momentum shifting and stars stepping up on both ends of the floor, here’s a look at the top 10 teams in the NBA right now and how they stack up heading into the next stretch of the season.
Top 10 Right Now! NBA Power Rankings
10. Phoenix Suns
The Suns are now in the power rankings for two straight weeks, and they beat the OKC Thunder off a last-second Devin Booker 3-pointer. The Suns have had good games and ok games these past few weeks, but are consistently trending upwards as the season progresses.
9. Boston Celtics
The Celtics are a really solid all-around team, Jaylen Brown has been outstanding as the leader of this group, and they have built a lot of chemistry over the course of the season. The Celtics, despite dealing with a new team this year from years past, have a really solid opportunity to make it out of the Eastern Conference.
8. Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves have been floating around this area for what feels like the entire season. They have been a really good team, but have not taken that next step. The Timberwolves are an inherently competitive team because of their defensive mentality and the competitiveness of the players on the team. They are a super fun team to watch and are improving with every game.
