5. Toronto
Record: 17-7
Last week: 4th
9-1 in their last ten games, the Raptors are doing their best to keep pace with the Cavaliers in the race for the top spot in the East. Cleveland's won the first three meetings between the two teams, giving them the tiebreaker should it be needed to determine playoff seeding. Toronto has some strides to make defensively, as they're 20th in the NBA in defensive rating, but led by guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan the Raptors are one of the best offensive teams in the league. Averaging 111.5 points per game and boasting an offensive efficiency of 117.1, the Raptors are third in the NBA in scoring offense and first in offensive rating. (Getty)
