9. Oklahoma City
Record: 15-9
Last week: 9th
Russell Westbrook's triple-double streak came to an end Sunday in the Thunder's win over Boston, with his run of seven straight games matching that of Michael Jordan in 1989. There's no doubt that the indefatigable Westbrook can carry Oklahoma City through the regular season and into the playoffs, but the consistency of his supporting case will be critical with regards to what the Thunder can do once there. In five of the seven games in Westbrook's triple-double run one other Thunder player managed to surpass the 20-point mark, with guard Victor Oladipo doing so on two different occasions and Enes Kanter (pictured) once. With a two-game road trip to Portland and Utah on the docket, getting that kind of productivity will be key. (Getty)
