Week 2 Team to Watch<\/p>\n
Portland<\/a> \u2014 There are three Week 2 games between teams that are undefeated through Week 1, and the 2-0 Blazers are involved in two of the three. They\u2019ll visit the 3-0 Lakers on Tuesday and host the 3-0 Grizzlies two nights later, also visiting Utah on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n Previous Power Rankings<\/p>\n Key Stats To Know<\/p>\n OffRtg<\/a>: Points scored per 100 possessions (League Rank) The league averaged 111.5 points scored per 100 possessions and 102.5 possessions (per team) per 48 minutes in Week 1.<\/p>\n A rest-advantage game (or rest-disadvantage game) is one where one team played the day\/night before, but the other (the team with the advantage) did not. Teams were 5-0 in rest-advantage games, 3-0 at home and 2-0 on the road, in Week 1.<\/p>\n * = Emirates NBA Cup<\/a> game<\/p>\n NBA.com\u2019s Power Rankings, released every Monday during the season, are just one man\u2019s opinion. If you have an issue with the rankings, or have a question or comment for John Schuhmann, contact him via Bluesky<\/a>.<\/p>\n #1<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 107.4 (20) DefRtg: 97.0 (2) NetRtg: +10.4 (8)<\/p>\n The Thunder had a perfect start to the season, picking up double-digit wins over the Spurs and Nuggets. But then Jalen Williams suffered a gruesome right leg injury late in their win over the Clippers on Sunday.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The defense has been terrific, with the Nuggets\u2019 84 points on 94 possessions on Thursday being a worse offensive performance than any that they had last season. The Thunder have somehow allowed just 77 per 100<\/a> in Alex Caruso\u2019s 67 minutes on the floor, and his 7.5 deflections per 36 minutes rank fourth<\/a> among 210 players who\u2019ve logged at least 50 minutes total.<\/p>\n The offense has been sub-par, though the Thunder have scored plenty efficiently with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor. They\u2019ve scored just 57 on 77 (74 per 100<\/a>) with him off the floor, and the lack of Williams for an extended period certainly won\u2019t help in that regard.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Thunder were just 7-7 in the second games of back-to-backs last season, but they\u2019re one of three teams with a league-low seven rest-disadvantage games this year. The first is Monday against the Suns, after which they\u2019ll play 12 of their next 17 games on the road.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. PHX, @ DAL, @ HOU<\/p>\n #2<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 118.7 (6) DefRtg: 106.4 (7) NetRtg: +12.4 (5)<\/p>\n The Pistons had the best record (18-7) in games played between Eastern Conference playoff teams last season, and they\u2019ve begun the new year with impressive wins over the Celtics, Heat and Sixers. They had a rest advantage for their wire-to-wire victory in Philadelphia on Sunday, but were without Jalen Duren (out at least two weeks) and Ausar Thompson (ankle sprain).<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Pistons made 14 or more 3-pointers in only 20<\/a> (24%) of their 82 games last season, but they\u2019ve made at least 14 in all three games<\/a> this year. They\u2019ve seen the league\u2019s second biggest jump in 3-point rate (from 35% to 43% of their shots), and they\u2019ve shot 42.0% (third best<\/a>) from beyond the arc, with Duncan Robinson 15-for-28<\/a> (54%).<\/p>\n The defense hasn\u2019t been quite as tenacious as it was last season. That\u2019s resulted in the league\u2019s biggest drop in opponent turnover rate, but also its biggest drop in opponent free throw rate. Duren committed just two fouls in his 38 minutes against the Celtics and Heat.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Pistons swept the Knicks last season (winning the three games by an average of 28 points), but didn\u2019t get a chance of facing the champs in the playoffs. They\u2019ll play (at least) four times this year, with the first meeting at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ NYK, vs. CHA, @ BKN*<\/p>\n #3<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 119.0 (5) DefRtg: 96.1 (1) NetRtg: +23.0 (2)<\/p>\n The Wolves are the second team in NBA history (joining the 2004-05 Jazz<\/a>) to win each of their first three games by more than 20 points. And the third of those wins came against a team (Toronto) that had won its first two games<\/a> by a total of 53.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n They dominated the possession game in Miami and Orlando, producing the two biggest shot-opportunity differentials (+18 and +19) for any team in Week 1. Things flipped in that regard (-12) against Toronto, but the Raptors shot 10-for-48 (21%) from outside the paint. The Wolves are still one of two teams<\/a> (Portland is the other) that rank in the top five in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentage.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Wolves have just seven rest-disadvantage games (tied for fewest in the league) this season, but two of them are this week. Their win over the Raptors on Sunday was the start of their first stretch of five games in seven days.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ CLE, vs. GSW, vs. LAC*, @ SAS<\/p>\n #4<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 122.6 (3) DefRtg: 112.5 (17) NetRtg: +10.2 (9)<\/p>\n No team had a more impressive Week 1 than the Rockets. They clobbered the Mavs, edged the Spurs and beat the 2-0 Hawks on the road. We may have already seen the defensive play of the year, with Amen Thompson blocking Victor Wembanyama\u2019s layup<\/a> in the final seconds on Friday.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The offense is off to a hot start, with the Rockets the only team<\/a> that ranks in the top five in field goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage. They also scored 13 points on nine clutch possessions against the Spurs on Friday, with Alperen Sengun scoring or assisting on 11 of the 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fred VanVleet (who sat out the second game of the weekend back-to-back) is just 6-for-18 from the field and isn\u2019t getting them into their offense much faster. But he has 16 assists<\/a> and zero turnovers. Overall, the Rockets\u2019 turnover rate (15.9 per 100 possessions) is a little higher<\/a> than it was last season (15.7 per 100), but the league-wide rate is way up (it\u2019s early) and Houston\u2019s rate has been much lower (14.6 per 100<\/a>) in VanVleet\u2019s 61 minutes on the floor.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Rockets and Hawks will be the first teams done playing each other this season, with their home-and-home set concluding in Houston on Monday. The Rockets will be at a rest disadvantage when they face the Thunder for the first time (Saturday in Houston).<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. ATL, @ MIL, @ DAL, vs. OKC<\/p>\n #5<\/p>\n Record: 3-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 105.5 (26) DefRtg: 102.4 (5) NetRtg: +3.1 (12)<\/p>\n The new-and-improved Sixers got off to a great start, going 3-0 (with wins over the Knicks and Cavs) before suffering a rest-disadvantage loss (without two starters) to the Pistons on Sunday. In their first back-to-back, they sat LeBron James in one game and Joel Embiid in the other.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n While offense is the greater curiosity, defense is the greater concern with the Sixers\u2019 new core. But their starting lineup allowed the Knicks and Cavs to score just 56 points on 74 defensive possessions (76 per 100<\/a>), with some terrific rotations<\/a> down the stretch in New York on Tuesday. Embiid remains a huge difference-maker<\/a> on that end of the floor.<\/p>\n Alas, Adem Bona is the only other healthy center on the roster, and the Sixers started a frontline of James and Dean Wade against the Pistons (who were without Jalen Duren) on Sunday. Over the four games total, they played 30 minutes with neither Embiid nor Bona on the floor (James has been on for almost all<\/a> of those), and they\u2019ve been outscored by 14 points (allowing 75 on 60 defensive possessions) in those 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Sixers were the only team to play four games in Week 1, but they\u2019ll now have two days off before visiting Indiana on Wednesday. Their second meeting with the Knicks will be the first Emirates NBA Cup game in East Group B, what should be the best group of the six.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ IND, vs. NYK*, @ CHA<\/p>\n #6<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 110.5 (14) DefRtg: 111.3 (14) NetRtg: -0.7 (14)<\/p>\n A season with big expectations got off to a rough start for Victor Wembanyama (1-for-13 against the Thunder) and the Spurs. After losing to Oklahoma City and Houston, they trailed the shorthanded Mavs (no Kyrie Irving or Cooper Flagg) late in the third quarter on Saturday before pulling away in the final 13 minutes.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Spurs\u2019 new starting lineup played limited minutes (just 9.4 per game<\/a>) and the results were mixed. It outscored the Thunder by 10 points<\/a> on Tuesday, but scored an anemic 30 points on 45 offensive possessions (67 per 100<\/a>) against the Rockets and Mavs over the weekend. The offense was at its best<\/a> with last season\u2019s starter (Julian Champagnie) on the floor.<\/p>\n Victor Wembanyama has struggled with his jump shot. Combining preseason<\/a> and Week 1<\/a>, he\u2019s shot 2-for-11 from mid-range and 5-for-28 from beyond the arc. But the Spurs have allowed less than a point per possession<\/a> with him on the floor, while allowing 133 per 100 with him on the bench.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Spurs\u2019 win in Dallas over the weekend was the start of what seems like a pretty soft, 12-game stretch of schedule that should have them at or near the top of the West in mid-November. Minnesota is the toughest opponent on that stretch, but the Spurs will have a rest advantage when they host the Wolves on Saturday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. SAC, @ UTA, vs. MIN<\/p>\n #7<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 125.9 (1) DefRtg: 112.4 (16) NetRtg: +13.5 (4)<\/p>\n The Lakers are taking advantage of a soft start to their schedule, though they had to overcome an 11-point deficit against the Clippers and dig out of an 18-point hole in Utah.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The league\u2019s No. 1 offense has been led by Luka Don\u010di\u0107, who scored 52 points in Utah on Sunday and has a usage rate of 41.8%<\/a>, which would be the highest rate for any player in the 31 seasons of play-by-play data. Austin Reaves has averaged 26.7 points<\/a> with a ridiculous true shooting percentage of 82.0%, the highest mark among the 48 players who averaged 20-plus in Week 1.<\/p>\n Walker Kessler (16.7 per game) has been nearly as efficient and, not surprisingly, the Lakers\u2019 defense has been at its best<\/a> (105.6 points allowed per 100 possessions) with him on the floor. His 10 dunks in his Lakers debut on Wednesday were more than he had all of last season (nine in five games) and are tied for the fourth most for any player in a game in the 31 seasons of play-by-play data. Only Shaquille O\u2019Neal has had more<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Lakers are one of three teams with three sets of five games in seven days this season. The first begins Tuesday with a visit from the 2-0 Blazers, and they\u2019ll be at a rest disadvantage at the Intuit Dome the following night.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. POR, @ LAC, @ GSW*, vs. TOR<\/p>\n #8<\/p>\n Record: 1-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 114.6 (10) DefRtg: 115.5 (20) NetRtg: -0.9 (15)<\/p>\n The Celtics had two big games in Week 1, they were both within five points in the last five minutes, and they split them. They blew a 22-point, second-half lead in Detroit and then held on to edge New York in their home opener.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Jayson Tatum struggled (6-for-23 shooting) in Detroit, but he took over down the stretch against the Knicks, hitting three straight jumpers in the final 90 seconds to put the game away. He\u2019s totaled 18 assists over the two games, but had just six free throw attempts<\/a> to go with his 49 shots. The Celtics again rank in the bottom three in both free throw rate (28th<\/a>) and the percentage of their shots that have come in the paint (30th).<\/p>\n They\u2019re also one of three teams<\/a> in the bottom five in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentage, with Mitchell Robinson yet to make a big impact on the glass. Neemias Queta played a few more minutes<\/a> off the bench than Robinson did as a starter over the two games and was on the floor in clutch time<\/a> both nights.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Celtics\u2019 four-game homestand continues with two games against the Bulls sandwiching a rest-disadvantage game against the Nets. They were 5-5 (1-2 at home) in rest-disadvantage games last season and are one of three teams with a league-high 14 of them this year.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. CHI, vs. BKN, vs. CHI*, @ ORL<\/p>\n #9<\/p>\n Record: 2-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 108.3 (19) DefRtg: 97.8 (3) NetRtg: +10.5 (7)<\/p>\n The Raptors were the sixth team in the 31 seasons of play-by-play data to get through their first two games without ever trailing. But Kawhi Leonard (knee swelling) was a late scratch for their showdown with the Wolves on Sunday, when they led for just 17 seconds in a 23-point loss.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Raptors have dominated the possession game, averaging 13.5 more shot opportunities than their opponents, the league\u2019s biggest differential by a huge margin. They\u2019ve struggled on the defensive glass, but have committed 9.7 fewer turnovers per game than their opponents. Leonard has seven steals<\/a> in only 52 minutes, while Collin Murray-Boyles has 15 deflections<\/a> in only 56. (The other side of that aggressiveness is the league\u2019s highest<\/a> opponent free throw rate.)<\/p>\n The Raptors have ranked in the bottom 10 in 3-point percentage in each of the last four seasons, and shooting has been a struggle once again, even though they rank seventh in the percentage of their 3-point attempts (56%) that have been wide open. The four perimeter starters are a combined 14-for-62<\/a> (23%) from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Raptors will be the first Eastern Conference team heading to the West Coast, with a four-game trip beginning in L.A. on Sunday. They were 6-9 in Western Conference arenas last season.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. ORL, vs. ORL*, @ LAL<\/p>\n #10<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 103.4 (29) DefRtg: 110.6 (13) NetRtg: -7.2 (21)<\/p>\n The postseason vibes have not carried over and the champs are somehow 0-3 for the first time in seven years. They were handed a tough schedule for the first two weeks, but their game against the Magic on Sunday was very winnable. And they led by 10 with a little more than nine minutes left before committing a flurry of turnovers and allowing Orlando to score 35 points on its final 22 possessions.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The good news is that the Knicks\u2019 struggles are mostly about shooting. But that\u2019s not just a rough start from the perimeter, because the bigger drop-off has been in the paint, where only the Nets have shot worse. The Knicks have also seen the league\u2019s third biggest drop in shot quality from last season, according to tracking data.<\/p>\n The starts haven\u2019t been terrible, and the Knicks\u2019 starting lineup has outscored their opponents by four points<\/a> over its 13 total first-quarter minutes. But it\u2019s been outscored by 26 points (scoring an anemic 50 points on 76 possessions) thereafter. Overall, Mikal Bridges has shot 5-for-23<\/a>, including 0-for-10 from 3-point range. He hasn\u2019t attempted a single free throw and the Knicks have scored just 87 points per 100 possessions<\/a> in his 90 minutes on the floor.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Knicks got clobbered by Detroit in their three meetings<\/a> last season, though they had their full starting lineup for just one<\/a> of those three games. So there will be plenty of intrigue when the 3-0 Pistons play at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. DET, @ CHI, @ PHI*<\/p>\n #11<\/p>\n Record: 1-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 106.9 (21) DefRtg: 108.3 (10) NetRtg: -1.4 (16)<\/p>\n After blowing a 29-point lead in Philadelphia on Thursday (a call back to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in New York), the Cavs almost lost all of a 22-point, fourth-quarter lead against Brooklyn over the weekend. But they held on for their first win.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Turnovers (44 through two games<\/a>) have been an issue, even though the Cavs rank in the bottom five in ball movement and had just 18 assists on their 39 buckets in Philly. They\u2019re also in the bottom three<\/a> in offensive rebounding percentage and have had 20 fewer shot opportunities than their opponents over the two games.<\/p>\n James Harden is getting to the line, but he\u2019s just 6-for-20 from the field and he and Donovan Mitchell have combined for as many turnovers (19<\/a>) as assists. The Cavs\u2019 starting lineup has scored just 61 points on 65 offensive possessions (94 per 100<\/a>), but bench minutes have been good. Their reserves are a combined 9-for-28<\/a> (32%) from 3-point range, but they took control of both games late in the first quarter with subs on the floor.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Cavs will have a rest advantage when they host the 3-0 Wolves on Monday. They\u2019ve won 16 straight games against the Wizards, who they\u2019ll face two nights later.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. MIN, vs. WAS, @ ATL, @ MIL<\/p>\n #12<\/p>\n Record: 1-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 106.1 (24) DefRtg: 110.0 (11) NetRtg: -3.9 (18)<\/p>\n The Nuggets led the Thunder for most of the first 36 minutes on Thursday, but they couldn\u2019t hold on and scored just 84 points on 94 possessions (what would have been their worst offensive game last season) in the opener. They flipped the script in Game 2, trailing by as many as 23 points, but coming back to beat the Pelicans in overtime.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Nuggets have replaced Cam Johnson (sprained ankle in the first half on Thursday) in the lineup with three different rookies, none of whom were selected in the first round of the draft. Alpha Diallo started the second half against the Thunder, Bryce Hopkins started vs. New Orleans, and Trevon Brazile closed out the OT win. Brazile seems to be the best two-way option and he finished with 17 points, nine rebounds, a steal and two blocks<\/a> on Saturday, draining a huge corner 3 in overtime. The opponents shot just 6-for-23<\/a> (26%) against him over the two games.<\/p>\n The Nuggets haven\u2019t tried any small-ball, playing Marvin Bagley III for every non-garbage-time minute<\/a> that Nikola Joki\u0107 has been on the bench. Denver (36 on 42) and its opponents (38 on 42) have combined to score just 74 points on 84 possessions (88 per 100) in Bagley\u2019s 20 total minutes.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Nuggets have now won seven straight games against the Pelicans, who they\u2019ll visit on Wednesday. Two nights later, they\u2019ll begin Cup play in Phoenix, having won five straight against the Suns.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. GSW, @ NOP, @ PHX*<\/p>\n #13<\/p>\n Record: 2-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 120.6 (4) DefRtg: 105.8 (6) NetRtg: +14.8 (3)<\/p>\n A lopsided win or loss can skew a team\u2019s numbers at this point in the season, and the Hawks had the most lopsided win<\/a> of the season on Friday, beating the Hornets by 47 points. They also had an important win, edging the Magic behind two huge 3-pointers from Nickeil Alexander-Walker on opening night.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Jalen Johnson is just 2-for-14 from 3-point range, but he\u2019s the only player<\/a> in the league averaging a triple-double (21.7, 10.0 and 10.0) after Week 1. And he has just seven turnovers to go with his 30 assists. His nine assists to Alexander-Walker<\/a> (including two on those clutch 3s on Wednesday) are the most from any player to a single teammate.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Hawks are two games into their only stretch of five in seven days. It will conclude with what could be a tough back-to-back against the Heat and Cavs.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ HOU, vs. MIA, vs. CLE, @ NOP<\/p>\n #14<\/p>\n Record: 2-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 117.4 (8) DefRtg: 112.9 (19) NetRtg: +4.5 (10)<\/p>\n The Pacers had a disappointing home opener, trailing the Mavs by as many as 37 points on Friday. But they still had as many wins in Week 1 as they had through their first 18 games<\/a> last season.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Pacers went to a lot of Tyrese Haliburton-Pascal Siakam pick-and-rolls down the stretch of their opening night win in New Orleans, and they\u2019ve scored 1.62 points per chance when a Siakam ball-screen for Haliburton has led directly to a shot, turnover or trip to the line. That\u2019s the second best mark among 39 combinations with at least 15 direct ball-screens, according to tracking data.<\/p>\n One of those screens led to an incredible, lefty floater (plus a foul) from Haliburton that put the Pacers ahead with 1:23 left. He\u2019s taken 56% of his shots in the paint, up from 36% through his first five seasons in the league. The Pacers rank third in the percentage of their shots (53%) that have come in the paint, having seen the league\u2019s biggest jump from last season (46%, 26th).<\/p>\n Coming up: With games against the Sixers and Heat, the Pacers\u2019 schedule gets a little more serious this week. They\u2019ll be at a rest disadvantage in Milwaukee on Monday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ MIL, vs. PHI, @ MIA*, vs. BKN<\/p>\n #15<\/p>\n Record: 2-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 123.5 (2) DefRtg: 100.5 (4) NetRtg: +23.0 (18)<\/p>\n So far, so good in regard to the Blazers\u2019 new backcourt. They\u2019re one of six undefeated teams in the West, having clobbered the Suns on opening night and run past the Kings in the second half on Friday.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Blazers led the opener 21-0. Two nights later, they scored the first 15 points of the third quarter. The reserves got a piece of that action, but the starting lineup (featuring Ja Morant and Damian Lillard in the backcourt) has outscored their opponents by 30 points<\/a> in a little more than 18 minutes. It\u2019s helped that the opponents have shot just 1-for-12 from 3-point range<\/a> against it.<\/p>\n Last season, the Blazers ranked fourth in 3-point differential, outscoring their opponents by 5.8 points per game from beyond the arc. They\u2019re a plus-57 (total) from deep through two games, with Toumani Camara having taken 17 of his 21 shots<\/a> from 3-point range and connected on nine of the 17 attempts. He\u2019s increased his 3-point rate<\/a> every year he\u2019s been in the league.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Blazers\u2019 win in Sacramento on Friday began a stretch where they\u2019re playing six of seven (and 12 of 16) games on the road. Next up is a visit to L.A., with Luka Don\u010di\u0107 having missed his teams\u2019 last seven meetings with Portland.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ LAL, vs. MEM, @ UTA<\/p>\n #16<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 106.5 (22) DefRtg: 111.9 (15) NetRtg: -5.4 (19)<\/p>\n The Magic won a battle of 0-2 teams at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, giving head coach Sean Sweeney his first career victory. But, already missing Paolo Banchero, they lost Jalen Suggs to a non-contact knee injury with a little more than two minutes left.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Banchero had a big night (35 points on 10-for-12 shooting, 10 assists) against the Hawks on Wednesday. But with the win in New York on Sunday, the Magic are now 28-19 without him over the last three seasons. Jase Richardson started in his place, but Tristan da Silva was the Banchero-or-Franz-Wagner replacement last season, and Anthony Black was on the floor down the stretch, having missed the Magic\u2019s first two games.<\/p>\n The Magic have seen the league\u2019s biggest jump in 3-point rate, from 38.6% of their shots (24th<\/a>) last season to 47.1% (third<\/a>) in Week 1. Desmond Bane\u2019s rate has jumped from 35% to 72%<\/a> (28\/39) and after shooting 21-for-79 (27%) from deep in their two losses, the Magic were 18-for-42 (43%) on Sunday.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Magic\u2019s win in New York on Sunday began a stretch where they\u2019re playing 13 of 18 games on the road. Up next are two games in Toronto, where they lost both of their games<\/a> last season, with the March 29 defeat coming by 52 points.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ TOR, @ TOR*, vs. BOS<\/p>\n #17<\/p>\n Record: 3-0<\/p>\n OffRtg: 117.4 (7) DefRtg: 106.6 (9) NetRtg: +10.8 (6)<\/p>\n The Grizzlies are the most surprising of the league\u2019s six undefeated teams through Week 1, even if they\u2019ve only played the Jazz, Warriors and Kings. It\u2019s their first 3-0 start since the 2017-18 season, when they started 5-1<\/a> and then went 17-59 thereafter.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n In this space in August<\/a>, the Grizzlies\u2019 key question was \u201cHow good is Ty Jerome?\u201d with a note that the point guard averaged 31.4 points and 9.0 assists per 36 minutes<\/a> (in a small sample size) last season. Well, Ty Jerome might be pretty good. It\u2019s another small sample size, but Jerome has scored 104 points in 95 minutes, shooting 15-for-25 (60%) on pull-up jumpers through the first two games and then going 14-for-14 at the line in Sacramento on Sunday.<\/p>\n Coming up: The third game of the Grizzlies\u2019 four-game road trip will be their second game against the Jazz. Both teams will be playing the second game of a back-to-back in Utah on Monday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ UTA, @ POR, vs. SAC<\/p>\n #18<\/p>\n Record: 2-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 112.0 (12) DefRtg: 110.1 (12) NetRtg: +1.9 (13)<\/p>\n The Wizards are 2-1, and the second win (Saturday in Chicago) was the second game of a back-to-back! That\u2019s confirmation that it\u2019s a new era in Washington, because they were 2-42 in the second games of back-to-backs over the last three seasons.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Trae Young has shot just 37%, including just 8-for-26 (31%) from 3-point range. But he has 34 assists (18 on dunks and layups) with just seven turnovers, and he has an incredible knack for drawing fouls. He leads the league<\/a> with 35 total free throw attempts and the Wizards have outscored their opponents by 7.3 points per game, the league\u2019s best differential, at the line.<\/p>\n The Wizards have been outscored by 14.1 points per 100 possessions in 72 total minutes<\/a> with Anthony Davis on the floor with either Alex Sarr or Deandre Ayton. But they\u2019re plus-17.1 per 100 (with much better offensive numbers) in 71 total minutes with only one of the three bigs on the floor.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Wizards\u2019 win in Chicago on Saturday began a stretch where they\u2019re playing eight of 10 games on the road. But they\u2019ll be at home when they open the Emirates NBA Cup against the Hornets on Friday. Washington is 1-11 all-time in Cup play.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ CHA, @ CLE, vs. CHA*<\/p>\n #19<\/p>\n Record: 2-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 101.0 (30) DefRtg: 112.5 (18) NetRtg: -11.6 (24)<\/p>\n The Hornets are missing two starters (Coby White and Kon Knueppel), they\u2019ve had the league\u2019s least efficient offense, and they\u2019ve been outscored by 35 points over their three games. But they\u2019re 2-1, with a clutch win over the Heat (after losing a 23-point lead) on Saturday.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Hornets\u2019 81 points on 100 possessions against Atlanta on Friday was the worst offensive performance<\/a> for any team in Week 1. Turnovers were an issue when LaMelo Ball was off the floor last season, they were an issue again in the preseason, and they had 48 through their first two games. They cleaned things up a little (15 turnovers) and had four guys with 20-plus points against Miami.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Hornets are one of three teams with a league-high 15 rest-advantage games, and the first is Wednesday in Detroit, where they had their worst offensive game<\/a> last season.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. WAS, @ DET, @ WAS*, vs. PHI<\/p>\n #20<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 112.0 (13) DefRtg: 117.9 (21) NetRtg: -6.0 (20)<\/p>\n The Mavs got a good win in Indiana on Friday, but lost Cooper Flagg to a left shoulder injury along the way. Still, they managed to hang with the Spurs for 36 minutes without Flagg or Kyrie Irving the following night.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Flagg shot 14-for-23 (61%) and had 17 free throw attempts in his 1 1\/2 games, and the Mavs scored an efficient 131 points per 100 possessions<\/a> in his 50 minutes on the floor. But they scored less than a point per possession in his 94 minutes off the floor, including just 33 points on 37 possessions (89 per 100) in Irving\u2019s 18 minutes without Flagg.<\/p>\n Mavs not named Flagg had a free throw rate of just 17.2 attempts per 100 shots from the field, and Dallas was outscored by 12.7 points per game, the league\u2019s third worst discrepancy, in the restricted area. Irving took just seven (29%) of his 24 shots in the paint, which would be the lowest rate of his career by a healthy margin.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Heat are 0-3, but they rank first in restricted-area differential. The Mavs play in Miami on Monday, with Flagg listed as questionable. After that, they\u2019ll play six of their next seven games at home, with visits from the Thunder and Rockets coming later in the week.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ MIA, vs. OKC, vs. HOU*<\/p>\n #21<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 105.1 (27) DefRtg: 121.4 (27) NetRtg: -16.3 (30)<\/p>\n The Giannis Antetokounmpo Era in Miami is off to a rough start. The Heat are 0-3 for the first time since the 2007-08 season, when they finished 15-67, tied for the worst mark<\/a> in franchise history.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The offense hasn\u2019t been good, but the defense has obviously been much more disappointing. And it\u2019s been much worse in the 50 minutes that Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo have been on the floor together (136 points allowed per 100 possessions<\/a>) than it\u2019s been in 81 total minutes with one on the floor without the other (113.2 allowed per 100). The both-on-the-floor struggles are largely due to the opponents having shot 24-for-46<\/a> (52%) from 3-point range, which makes it a little less concerning.<\/p>\n The Heat again lead the league<\/a> in the percentage of their possessions (27%) that have been in transition, and Antetokounmpo ranks fourth<\/a> with 7.7 transition points per game. But his teammates have shot just 6-for-23 (26%) from 3-point range off his passes.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Hawks and Pacers should provide a pair of tough tests for the Heat\u2019s defense. Indiana had the most efficient offense<\/a> among Eastern Conference opponents against Miami two seasons ago.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. DAL, @ ATL, vs. IND*<\/p>\n #22<\/p>\n Record: 1-1<\/p>\n OffRtg: 108.6 (18) DefRtg: 123.0 (30) NetRtg: -14.4 (29)<\/p>\n The Suns\u2019 season got off to a dreadful start, as they became just the sixth team<\/a> in the 31 seasons of play-by-play data to trail a game by at least 20 points before scoring. They got off to another slow start against the shorthanded Warriors on Saturday, but recovered for a comfortable win at home.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The biggest factor in the Suns\u2019 surprising year last season was a huge improvement in the possession game. But they lost it big time in their first two games this year, totaling 17 fewer shot opportunities than their opponents. They got clobbered on the glass and rank last<\/a> in rebounding percentage (by a healthy margin) after Week 1.<\/p>\n The difference between the Suns\u2019 two games was almost entirely on offense, where they shot 58% against the Warriors, with Devin Booker going 5-for-5 from mid-range on his way to scoring 43 points. They rank last defensively, having allowed 120 points on 83 defensive possessions (145 per 100<\/a>) with Booker, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks on the floor together.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Suns are one of five teams that have played only two games, and they have just two more this week. But climbing out of the basement defensively will be tough against Oklahoma City and Denver. They allowed 130.6 points per 100 possessions<\/a> as they were swept (in three games) by the Nuggets last season and 127.2 per 100<\/a> as they were swept by the Thunder in the playoffs.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ OKC, vs. DEN*<\/p>\n #23<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 112.3 (11) DefRtg: 121.8 (28) NetRtg: -9.5 (23)<\/p>\n Flipping the \u201ccompetitive basketball\u201d switch is easier said than done, and the Jazz needed some clutch-time bounces to go their way against the Pelicans to pick up their only win in Week 1.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Though Jusuf Nurki\u0107 is out, the Jazz still started the season playing big, with Jaxson Hayes starting alongside Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. But Ace Bailey has started the last two games instead of Hayes, and he had 17 points (on 8-for-11 shooting), 12 rebounds and four assists in their loss to the Lakers on Sunday. The defense has been bad (more than 127 points allowed per 100 possessions<\/a>) with Markkanen and Jackson on the floor together, whether or not Hayes has been alongside them.<\/p>\n The Jazz got destroyed in the possession game (16 fewer shot opportunities than the Grizzlies) in Memphis on opening night, and they rank 26th in turnover differential, having committed 4.3 per game more than their opponents. But their rebounding has improved<\/a> with every game and they outscored the Lakers by 23 points (34-11<\/a>) on second chances on Sunday, when half of Bailey\u2019s 12 boards came on the offensive glass. It\u2019s early, but he\u2019s more than doubled<\/a> his rebounding percentage from last season.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Jazz will get another shot at Ty Jerome (45 points in the opener) and the Grizzlies on Monday, Game 3 of their five-game homestand. They\u2019ll have a rest advantage when they host the Spurs two nights later.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. MEM, vs. SAS, vs. POR<\/p>\n #24<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 109.7 (17) DefRtg: 106.5 (8) NetRtg: +3.2 (11)<\/p>\n The Clippers might be better than expected. They\u2019re 1-2, but after opening the season with a wire-to-wire victory over the Kings, they were pretty competitive on the road against two undefeated teams (the Lakers and Thunder).<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Isaiah Jackson has been the starting center, but Brook Lopez is the Clippers\u2019 second-leading scorer<\/a>, averaging 18 points in just 23.2 minutes. He\u2019s shot 6-for-11 from 3-point range, but has also taken 58% of his shots<\/a> in the paint. That would be his highest rate in the last 11 seasons and is up from 35% last season.<\/p>\n Though Lopez has played bigger, the Clippers have been outscored by 14.7 points per game in the restricted area. That\u2019s the league\u2019s worst discrepancy, and it\u2019s mostly about the defensive end of the floor, where the Thunder had 50 restricted-area points<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Clippers now have two days off, and they\u2019ll have a rest advantage when they play the Lakers (who are 1-3 at the Intuit Dome) again on Wednesday. The Clips were just 5-7 (4-4 at home) in rest-advantage games last season.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. LAL, @ MIN*, @ GSW<\/p>\n #25<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 115.8 (9) DefRtg: 118.2 (23) NetRtg: -2.4 (17)<\/p>\n The Pelicans played three (seemingly) good teams close in Week 1, but they came up empty down the stretch in all three games. So they\u2019re 0-3 for the second straight year, having been outscored by a total of just 10 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Only the Nets had a worse record<\/a> than the Pelicans (12-30) in games that were within five points in the last five minutes last season. And New Orleans is now off to a 0-3 start in the clutch. Zion Williamson missed a layup in the final minute against Indiana, committed an offensive foul when they were down one in Utah, and committed three<\/a> of their four clutch turnovers in Denver.<\/p>\n With Yves Missi (knee bone bruise) out, DeAndre Jordan started at center in Denver on Saturday. But the Pels went to Derik Queen alongside Williamson for most of clutch time<\/a>, and they allowed just 72 points on 79 defensive possessions (91 per 100<\/a>) in their 35 total minutes together.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Pelicans were at a rest disadvantage when they lost in Denver over the weekend, but they\u2019ll have had three days off when they meet the Nuggets again on Wednesday. They\u2019ll be at a disadvantage again against the Kings the following night, with a home game against Sacramento being the only time<\/a> they held their opponent under a point per possession last season.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: vs. DEN, vs. SAC, vs. ATL<\/p>\n #26<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 110.2 (15) DefRtg: 122.2 (29) NetRtg: -12.0 (26)<\/p>\n The Warriors are 0-3 for the first time since 2007, when Kelenna Azubuike and Al Harrington were their leading scorers<\/a> through three games. They had a shot to beat the Grizzlies on Friday, but shot 0-for-5 in the clutch, with Draymond Green also getting called for a costly offensive foul when they were down two in the closing seconds.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Warriors were without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in Phoenix on Saturday, but they were also outscored by 27.6 points per 100 possessions<\/a> over their 50 minutes on the floor together over the first two games. Curry is just 5-for-17<\/a> from 3-point range, and Green hasn\u2019t made much of an impact on either end of the floor.<\/p>\n Yaxel Lendeborg got taken to school by Luka Don\u010di\u0107 on opening night, but he\u2019s still the best thing the Warriors have going for them right now. He tallied 26 points, nine rebounds and five assists in Phoenix on Saturday, and he shot 6-for-7<\/a> on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers over the three games.<\/p>\n Coming up: Curry scored 42 points in his lone game against the Nuggets last season, an overtime win in San Francisco last October. The Warriors have lost their last seven games in Denver, where they\u2019ll play Game 2 of their three-game trip on Monday.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ DEN, @ MIN, vs. LAL*, vs. LAC<\/p>\n #27<\/p>\n Record: 1-2<\/p>\n OffRtg: 104.9 (28) DefRtg: 118.2 (23) NetRtg: -13.3 (27)<\/p>\n The Bulls lost their first five quarters of the season (60 total minutes) by 58 points. But they came back from a 15-point deficit to win in Milwaukee on Friday, and they got a breakout game (30 points and 14 rebounds) from Caleb Wilson in a loss to the Wizards the following night.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n Tiago Splitter\u2019s Blazers led the league in shot quality last season, but were 22nd<\/a> in effective field goal percentage. The Bulls may have a similar \u201cgood shots, bad shooting\u201d profile this year. They were last<\/a> in effective field goal percentage (46.0%) in Week 1, even though they ranked third in shot quality, with only 16% of their shots having come between the restricted area and the 3-point line. Leonard Miller (sixth), Wilson (ninth) and Jalen Smith (10th) are all in the top 10 in shot quality among 119 players with at least 25 field goal attempts.<\/p>\n The Bulls are in the middle of the pack in field goal percentage in the paint (58.2%), but have shot just 28-for-124<\/a> (22.6%) from 3-point range. Wilson is 18-for-25<\/a> (72%) in the restricted area and 6-for-34 (18%) outside it.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Bulls\u2019 schedule now gets much tougher, with their next seven games coming against the Celtics (x 2), Knicks (x 2), Sixers (x 2) and Spurs. Chicago was a respectable 12-16 against Eastern Conference playoff teams last season.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ BOS, vs. NYK, @ BOS*<\/p>\n #28<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 106.4 (23) DefRtg: 118.2 (22) NetRtg: -11.8 (25)<\/p>\n The Nets are one of two teams (the Pelicans are the other) that are 0-3 for the second straight season. Last year, their first win came in Game 8 in Indiana<\/a>, where they\u2019ll play Game 6 this year, having already lost to the Pacers at home<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Nets\u2019 starting lineup was a plus-14 through their first two games and, despite some ugly starter minutes against the Pacers on Sunday, they\u2019ve still outscored their opponents (by 1.5 points per 100 possessions<\/a>) with Day\u2019Ron Sharpe on the floor. That continues a trend from the last three seasons, where Sharpe somehow registers a positive plus-minus on a team that really struggles otherwise.<\/p>\n The highest opponent 3-point rate in the previous 47 seasons of the 3-point line is 45.9%. Through three games, Nets opponents have taken 50.2% of their shots from beyond the arc, connecting on 40.3% of those attempts<\/a>. They did have 20 3s<\/a> themselves in Cleveland on Saturday, when they almost erased all of a 22-point, fourth-quarter deficit.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Nets are one of three teams with a league-high 15 rest-advantage games this season, and the first is a visit to Boston on Tuesday. They\u2019ve lost 21 of their last 23 meetings with the Celtics.<\/p>\n Week 2<\/a>: @ BOS, vs. DET*, @ IND<\/p>\n #29<\/p>\n Record: 0-3<\/p>\n OffRtg: 110.2 (16) DefRtg: 119.4 (25) NetRtg: -9.3 (22)<\/p>\n The Bucks had fourth-quarter leads in each of their first two games, and they were tied with the Sixers late in the third quarter on Saturday. But they haven\u2019t been able to close the deal and are one of four winless teams in the East.<\/p>\n Two takeaways<\/p>\n The Bucks\u2019 starting lineup has been solid, outscoring their opponents by 16 points<\/a> (18.2 per 100 possessions<\/a>) in 37 minutes. But they\u2019ve been outscored by 19.5 per 100 in 107 minutes with at least one reserve on the floor, with the issues more about defense than offense.<\/p>\n Four of their five starters (all except Jaime Jaquez Jr.) have a combined free throw rate of just 12.6 attempts per 100 shots from the field, and the Bucks have been outscored by 11.3 points per game (the league\u2019s worst discrepancy) at the line. They were also outscored by 42 points in the restricted area (114-72) over their losses to the Wizards and Bulls.<\/p>\n Coming up: The Bucks are one of three teams with a league-high 15 rest-advantage games this season, and the first is a visit from the Pacers on Monday. They swept the season series<\/a> with Indiana last season.<\/p>\n
