NBA Power Rankings 2025-26: Thunder Dominate Again, But Which Unexpected Team Crashes the Top Five?
5. Los Angeles Lakers
(7-3, last week No. 5)
LeBron James is not with the Lakers on their current five-game road trip (which they started 0-1 with an ugly loss in Atlanta), but he could return not long after they return to Los Angeles (which includes a key NBA Cup game against the Clippers on Nov. 25, a matchup you can catch on Coast 2 Coast Tuesday on NBC and Peacock). LeBron is known as one of the game’s legendary clutch players, but behind Luka Doncic, this team is 5-0 in clutch games this season. That’s a promising sign (although those stats tend to balance out over the course of a long season).
