With the NBA Season now in motion you must be wondering, who’s in the lead? Also who helps these teams earn their way to the top?

At ranking number 5 are the Dallas Mavericks. Tyson Chandler is a major influence for the Dallas Mavericks. On average Tyson Chandler scores about 70 percent worth of points per game. Coming in ranking number 4 are the Los Angeles Lakers. They scored about 40 percent in 3 games. Orlando Magic comes in, in ranking number 3. Even with Vince Carter out with a sprained knee, the Orlando Magics are still fight on strong and hard. The runner up so far is the Boston Celtics. Shaquilie O’Neal is averaging about 18 points and about 10.3 rebounds per game. Rajon Rondo returns from an injury, but Jermaine O’Neal is still unable to return. At first place ranking is the San Antonio Spurs. The San Antonio Spurs had a 12 game winning streak! The San Antonio Spurs have the best record in the league with Tim Duncan just averaging just 29.3 minutes and 14 points per game.

The season isn’t over yet. This ranking may not change or maybe someone totally new will sneak their way in. Only time will tell.
