Tier 1 Spotlight : Utah Jazz

"​Utah is off to a hot start. They don’t appear to be losing any momentum, even after losing their 11-game winning streak.  The one cause for concern I have for this team is that they currently don’t have a single player receiving MVP consideration. That is generally a must for a team looking to win a championship."

Tier 2 Spotlight : Houston Rockets

"​James Harden leaves the team, and they end up having the best defense in the league… In all seriousness though, this team has looked great since seeing them get manhandled by the Lakers in Hardens last game.  A roster of competitive players looking to elevate themselves is exciting to watch."

Tier 3 Spotlight: Dallas Mavericks

​Mavericks continue to struggle despite Luka's MVP considerations.  This team is way too talented not to be winning games. If they start playing defense, they should still be a playoff team.
