Tier 1 Spotlight: Houston Rockets

The best defense? More offense! James harden offensive game is so lethal at this point, you almost forget how porous of a defender he is. Russell Westbrook's arrival has not slowed his scoring production in the slightest. This team is functioning a lot better than originally thought in the pre-season.

Tier 2 Spotlight: Dallas Mavericks

Luca, in his sophomore season, is averaging 30+ PPG and a triple-double. When I was his age I was proud if I made it to all my morning classes in a given week. If Porzingis maintains good health, this team can elevate themselves above their recent run of mediocrity.

Tier 3 Lowlight: Washington Wizards

If Washington can figure out their defense this team could shoot up my rankings quickly. They look great on the offensive end but are lost defensively. Unfortunately for them, their horrendous defense thus far has been to much to overcome.
