With December officially underway and the NBA Cup knockout stage set to begin, the league enters one of its quietest weeks of the season for most teams, as everyone catches their breath while the eight quarterfinalists prepare their final push toward Las Vegas this weekend. The landscape has shifted again, including the movements of some early risers in the East like the Heat, Raptors, Cavaliers, and Hawks, have suddenly stalled out after weeks of climbing, struggling to regain any of the rhythm that once propelled them upward. At the same time, new momentum is emerging elsewhere, highlighted by Boston’s surge as the Celtics piece together an impressive win streak despite playing without Jayson Tatum this season and navigating the offseason exits of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. The Knicks, 76ers, Nuggets, and even the Mavericks, finally showing signs of life with a couple of nice wins after a brutal start, have also begun to climb little by little up the standings. And above it all, the Thunder continue stacking wins at a historic rate, setting the pace for yet another shakeup in the ever-evolving hierarchy. With that in mind, let’s see how the teams shake up just below OKC:
