#1 Toronto Raptors

Lowry and Ibaka
Lowry and Ibaka

It's official: the Toronto Raptors are the spookiest team in the NBA today, bar none. It helps that they boast of the league's best record despite having one of the tougher schedules so far, but just watching Ibaka play and dominate at the 5 spot, and with Valanciunas having virtually that same impact when Ibaka isn't there, my faith in the Raptors has been restored somewhat half-heartedly following their ignominious second-round sweep at the hands of LeBron.

Lowry is making the best MVP pitch of his career thus far, leading the league in assists and linking up seamlessly with the other MVP candidate on his roster. Danny Green, fit and firing once more, is back to his best, while Pascal Siakam continues to make his candidature for Most Improved Player honours stronger and stronger with each passing game.
