#2 Cleveland Cavaliers (9-7)
The last few games kept the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the #1 spot as LeBron James and company are in the middle of a four-game winning streak. Before that streak, they were sitting a 5-7 after reaching the NBA Finals for the past three seasons (including an NBA Championship in 2016).
The problem is Cleveland cannot defend anyone. They're giving up 112.2 PPG which is 28th in the NBA. The interesting thing is they were able to make the NBA Finals last year with a lackluster defense that finished 20th in the league last year. They're just not getting away with it early in this season.
