17. Boston Celtics (18): The Celtics have won their last four games improving their overall record to 9-9.
16. Los Angeles Lakers (16): The Lakers improve to 12-9 overall despite inconsistent play. Although their same starting five won a championship two years ago, I’m afraid this time might be broken apart unless they find a way to be more dominant.

10. San Antonio (12): The Spurs improve to 12-8 overall and have won six of their last ten games. They are a tough team to beat at home but have shown inconsistency on the road.
9. Memphis Grizzlies (9): The Grizzlies may be a dark horse this NBA season. With a record of 10-9, I expect this ball club to step it up a notch once Zach Randolph comes back.
8. Dallas Mavericks (10): Even without Dirk in the lineup the Dallas Mavericks have managed to stay competitive. Their overall record is 12-8 and have won seven of their last ten games.
