2. Cleveland
Record: 17-5
Last week: 3rd
LeBron James received his Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award Monday night, and on Tuesday he and the rest of the Cavaliers face a Memphis squad that's won six straight games. Cleveland dodged a bullet last week with J.R. Smith's knee injury being ruled a knee contusion, and after missing two games he made his return to the lineup in Saturday's win over the Hornets. At this point in time it's all about avoiding complacency, which should not be a problem when the Cavaliers take on the best teams in the NBA. (Getty)
