NBA Power Rankings 2025-26: Thunder Dominate Again, But Which Unexpected Team Crashes the Top Five?

7. Cleveland Cavaliers

(7-3, last week No. 12)
Through seven games, the Cavaliers had a 112 offensive rating, bottom five in the league and nearly 10 points per 100 possessions off last season’s pace. Then Darius Garland returned, Donovan Mitchell continued to be dominant, and in the last three games the Cavaliers are 3-0 with a 130.8 offensive rating. Cleveland is finding its footing. Also, let’s not forget what De’Andre Hunter did to Josh Giddey over the weekend.

8. New York Knicks

(6-3, last week No. 14)
New York has found its footing at Madison Square Garden, going 4-0 so far on a seven-game home stand. Karl-Anthony Towns, in particular, has looked better, although going through a soft part of the schedule helps (he scored 33 on the Wizards and 28 on the Nets). Towns is getting to the rim more (42% of his shots are inside the restricted area this season) and he’s playing with more of an edge. Interesting NBA Cup game to close out this homestead on Sunday against the Heat.
