NBA Power Rankings: Heavy’s Top 10 for December 19


2. Cleveland


Record: 19-6


Last week: 2nd


Cleveland went 2-1 last week, picking up home wins over Memphis and the Lakers and losing at Memphis with head coach Tyronn Lue leaving LeBron, Kyrie and Kevin home to rest. Now comes a home-and-home against Milwaukee, which beat the Cavaliers by 17 back on November 29. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the player Cleveland had no answer for on that night, as he finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and five steals. Milwaukee's still six games back due to their slow start to the season, but another win over the Cavs would boost their confidence at this early point in the season. (Getty)
