4. Toronto
Record: 14-7
Last week: 7th
Prior to Monday's loss to the Cavaliers, Toronto had won six straight games and was one of the hottest teams in the NBA. It's tough to win games in the NBA, but the best win of that bunch came in Houston on November 23 to begin the streak. If anything Monday's contest, which Toronto managed to make interesting late, served as a reminder of what Toronto's target is (not that the team really needed it). While LeBron is going to be LeBron in such games, the Raptors can't afford to have a Kevin Love put up 28 points and 14 rebounds while Jonas Valanciunas goes 1-for-8 from the field if they're to knock off the Cavaliers in the East.
