5. Portland Trail Blazers
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the season so far, the Trail Blazers, behind the likes of Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews and LaMarcus Aldridge, have started the season in impressive fashion.
At the time of writing, they top the Western Conference with a 14-3 record after showing their ability to bounce back from defeat and are 9-1 in their last 10 games.
It remains to be seen how long they can sustain their current form, but they are undoubtedly making an early run for a playoff finish.
