Defending champion Boston leads the league in three -pointers with a winning percentage close to750.

Defending champions Boston still favourite in the East , but probably will have to win a series in Cleveland to get back to the Finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers have to top this list with a shocking 30-4 , including 17-1 at home and has won nine straight.

New Orleans won 49 games just a year ago , but this year ’s group was an NBA -worst 6-29 entering Saturday .

The Raptors need to lose games to secure a high draft pick in a stacked about better future.

Paul George and Tyrese Maxey got hurt, nobody knew what was going on with Embiid and the team started 2-12 .

The team stabilized and went 11-5 before dropping two straight.

Indiana (below500), Sacramento , Phoenix and Minnesota should also be considered massive underachievers to this point.

Plenty of basketball remains to be played though, so lots of things will change as the playoffs approach.
