Expect to see more of that from teams who like to play physical, such as the Clippers. 11. 76ers (7-7, LW 10). Philadelphia has gone 3-2 without James Harden (out for a month with a right foot tendon sprain), with the last two of those wins because Joel Embiid has been a force of nature — 101 points over two games. Sunday he dropped a career-high 59 points on the Jazz, but this was a dominant all-around effort with 11 rebounds and five blocks in the fourth quarter, when he just took over. We are witnessing MVP-level Embiid, and the Sixers may need more of him this coming weekend with the Bucks and Timberwolves in a back-to-back.
So why all the focus on a Myles Turner trade nationally? The latest rumor was maybe the Clippers. The reason is simply other teams expect them to move veterans, particularly Turner (who is a free agent after this season and has given the impression he wants a clean slate somewhere new). Still, this is a week the Pacers can pad that record with games against the Hornets, Rockets, and two against the Magic.

That is not Chicago right now. 23. Thunder (6-8, LW 23). We are not saying this enough: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing All-NBA (maybe even bottom of the MVP ballot) level basketball this season. He averaging 30. 5 points per game on a 62. 8 true shooting percentage, dishing out 5. 5 assists a night, and is top eight in pretty much every advanced stat you can name.
Things do not get easier. Brooklyn heads to Portland to face the Trail Blazers Thursday, then has the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Raptors. Next Tuesday could be Simmons’ return to Philadelphia, so get ready for some boos. 22. Bulls (6-8, LW 14). The Bulls are winless in clutch games (within five points in the final five minutes), with a 0-6 record, an offense struggling to create good looks and a -46. 4 net rating. That all will improve some over time, but it points to a real problem for Chicago about execution in big minutes. Overall the Bulls still have a bottom 10 offense in the league and maybe their fortunes turn around whenever Lonzo Ball can return, but the best teams still win games with their stars out.
Our margin of error is small, we have to play with great intensity on every possession. ” Quality win for New York in Utah on Tuesday, kicking off a rough five-game road trip, and beyond that a tough stretch of the season. Thibs seat could get hotter. 21. Nets (6-9, LW 22). The hot start to the Jacque Vaughn era is over, he is now 4-4 as a head coach with a couple of defensive clunkers in there. Not that it’s Vaughn’s fault, Kevin Durant gets that, as he told Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report: ““Look at our starting lineup. Edmond Sumner, Royce O’Neale, Joe Harris, [Nic] Claxton and me. It’s not disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group? ” Kyrie Irving remains suspended. Ben Simmons is coming off the bench as a backup five.

15. Heat (7-7, LW 19). The Heat are starting to get a little more from their role players — and they are shooting 55% from 3 over the last three games — which has led to a three-game win streak. Miami needed the bench to step up, it had been too much of a two-man show up to this point: The Heat defense is 12. 7 points per 100 possessions better with Bam Adebayo on the court, the Miami offense is 18. 5 per 100 better with Jimmy Butler on the court. Those two switched roles — Adebaoyo scored 30, Butler had the defensive play of the year so far — against the Suns. The Heat head out on the road for four this week. Jimmy Butler LOCKED UP Devin Booker on the game-winning shot attempts 🔒🔥pic.
com/rjMAyzwvNX — NBA (@NBA) November 16, 2022 10. Jazz (10-6, LW 4). Losers of three straight (Wizards, 76ers, Knicks) and things are about to get tougher with the Suns, Trail Blazers and Clippers the next three. Losing to Joel Embiid when he has a historic night is forgivable, but it lay bare the blueprint teams are using to attach the Jazz — be physical and get the ball inside and pound Kelly Olynyk and Lauri Markkanen.
The Bucks have dropped 3-of-4 but Giannis Antetokounmpo is back, which is good considering the Bucks play the Cavaliers, 76ers and Trail Blazers this week. 3. Nuggets (9-4, LW 9). This might seem a high ranking for people not watching much Nuggets basketball — or who just see Nikola Jokic’s counting stats are down — but the Nuggets have won 5-of-6 (the only loss is to the Celtics) with the second highest net rating in the league in that window.

Raptors (8-7, LW 11). The Raptors are a middle of the pack team when it comes to taking 3-pointers: 14th in attempts per game, 19th in shooting percentage. But Fred VanVleet is the guy keeling them afloat in this category, taking 8. 3 3-pointers a night and hitting 42. 2% of them so far. OG Anunoby and Siakam (when healthy) pitch in, but VanVleet is the sharpshooter on this team Toronto is keeping its head above water, going 3-3 so far without Pascal Siakam. They now have 4-of-5 at home but what a four: Miami, Brooklyn, Dallas, Cleveland.
20. Knicks (7-7, LW 15). Tom Thibodeau’s seat is getting warm and the problem — outside of the team not trading for Donovan Mitchell — is the end of the court where Thibs is supposed to specialize: Defense. The Knicks are bottom 10 in the league, and being without Mitchell Robinson (knee injury) is not helping. Thibodeau understands what the problem is, “But I know if we’re relying on trying to outscore people that’s not going to work.
Washington has won four in a row with Bradley Beal out, knocking off quality teams like the Mavericks, Jazz and Grizzlies thanks to career nights from Kyle Kuzma, Kristaps Porziņģis and Deni Avdija. However, this is still a team with a negative net rating overall that suggests the team should be 6-8, so we’re hesitant to move them up the ladder, especially with a bottom-10 offense. Three of their next five games are against the Heat, that will be a good measuring stick. 19. Pacers (6-6, LW 10). It’s going to frustrate Pacers fans this season, who see a 6-6 team with a couple of promising young players — Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin — and a franchise that doesn’t have a history of tanking.
Tunisia’s US Monastir wins 2022 Basketball Africa League crown, defeating Angola’s Petro de LuandaThe Milwaukee Bucks stumbled this week, the Boston Celtics have not stumbled for seven straight games, and that winning streak moves them to the top of this week’s NBC Sports NBA Power Rankings. The Denver Nuggets have quietly played well and have climbed up to third. 1. Celtics (11-3, Last week No. 5).

Mazzulla has the Celtics offense humming (best in the league) and that is winning games (the defense is 19th, but when Robert Williams returns that will change). So much to like with the way Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are playing, and they get a fun test on the road in New Orleans on Friday night. 2. Bucks (10-3, LW 1). The Milwaukee Bucks have gotten some solid minutes from rookie MarJon Beauchamp, who has shown flashes on the wing, averaging 7. 5 points per game in limited minutes. He had 19 points against the Thunder and 20 against the Hawks in games that showcased him a little more. The G-League Ignite product was seen as a raw wing with real potential entering the draft, but you can see why he has been a good roll of the dice for Milwaukee.
They have the second best offense in the NBA, and are 4-0 in clutch games (inside five points in the final five minutes) with a +39. 4 net rating in those games. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are finding their rhythms. It’s been a relatively soft schedule for the Nuggets so far, but we should see a better test this Friday and Sunday with two games in Dallas. 4. Suns (8-5, LW 3). The Suns have stumbled losing 3-of-5 on a road trip, but are without Chris Paul and Cameron Johnson right now so they don’t tumble far down the rankings. The Suns are still a top five offense and defense in the league, and Devin Booker is playing at an All-NBA level (Phoenix wouldn’t have been in the game in Miami without him, but then Jimmy Butler spoiled that party). The Suns should be able to pick up some wins with 5-of-6 at home, including the Warriors who struggle outside the Bay Area.
