They weren't the biggest risers, though, as that honor goes to the Phoenix Suns , who shook off a rocky start to go this week and claim the No. On the other side, the biggest fallers were the Toronto Raptors , who dropped from No. But that's how things go early in the season. One week you're on top of the world, and the next week you're on the outside looking in. Just ask the Miami Heat.

It wasn't exactly a murderer's row of opponents this week, but the Warriors took care of business, winning all four games by an average margin of over 20 points the point victory over the lowly Pelicans helped. Already owners of the league's best defense, the Warriors offense exploded this week, partly due to Stephen Curry's Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins each averaged over 20 points per game for the week as well, with contributions coming from up and down the roster.
The schedule will start to get harder, but as of now it's hard to argue against the Warriors being the best team in the NBA. The Wizards picked up three more quality wins this week over the Grizzlies, Bucks and Cavs, managing to do so with Bradley Beal averaging just 20 points on 27 percent 3-point shooting.
Kuzma shot 57 percent from the 3-point line this week, including two clutch corner 3s in a comeback road win over the Cavs on Wednesday. Give the Nuggets all the credit in the world for rattling off three wins this week, the last one without Michael Porter Jr.
Denver's defense has been outstanding all season, and that continued in all three wins this week, holding each opponent under points. Despite the league's pending investigation into the owner, the Suns had a great week on the court, going undefeated with wins over the Rockets, Hawks, Kings and Trail Blazers.

Dropping the Bucks any lower than No. Combine that with a fun supporting cast, arguably the best uniforms in sports and another professional scorer in C. McCollum, and the Blazers will rarely let you down.
With Paul at the helm, the Suns are like a precision sports car. Is a precision sports car a thing? Did I just make that up? What Phoenix lacks in random nights of explosive displays—though Booker is always capable of going off—it makes up for in high levels of execution. As long as the Point God is directing traffic on a team this talented, it will be a fine-tuned machine. LaMelo Ball passes!
Miles Bridges dunks! Scary Terry! Gordon Hayward proving he was worth all that money! Trying to figure out whether the Hornets are good is beside the point. Charlotte has a couple of years before it has to decide to become a serious playoff team or whatever. Until then, enjoy this honeymoon phase of the rebuild, when players like Ball are unburdened by expectations. Utah is like the prestige drama that comes on before or after your favorite show.
San Antonio finally stopped a four-game skid with a win over a wounded Bucks team. What remains to be seen is if any of the young talent is capable of taking a serious leap. The Pacers are 1—6, but three of those losses have come by a combined five points. This team is not far away from being something, especially considering Malcolm Brogdon has missed the last two games, and Caris LeVert has played only one time and on a minutes restriction to boot. A four-game road trip through Nov.
