Rank	Team	SU Record (ATS)	Comments
1		3-0 (2-1-0)	Next games: 11/6 vs. CHI; 11/8 vs. TOR; 11/9 @ BKN; 11/11 vs. MEM The Pacers are the only undefeated team so far and that’s no surprise. It’s also no surprise that Indy is 0-3 O/U, thanks to their patented defense that is allowing only 83.7 ppg. Expect the totals to go UNDER this week. The Memphis game should be an interesting defensive struggle.
2		3-1 (3-1-0)	Next games: 11/6 @ ORL; 11/7 @ MIA; 11/9 @ HOU; 11/11 vs. MIN Chris Paul and co. is kicking it into high gear as their 119.0 ppg pushed their totals to go OVER in each of their 4 games. The Clips will have a tough road ahead, with a visit to Miami and Houston, whom they scorched for 137 points on last Monday.
3		2-2 (4-0-0)	Next games: 11/6 vs. LAC; 11/8 vs. BOS; 11/9 @ ATL; 11/11 @ BOS Young teams thrive on two things: being at home and being an underdog. The Magic have been that team. 2-0 at home and 4-0 as underdogs are trends that hold true for Orlando thus far.
4		3-1 (3-1-0)	Next games: 11/6 vs. GS; 11/8 vs. DAL; 11/9 @ LAL; 11/11 @ LAC Kevin Love has been great with 27-14. This team can score, but their efforts on defense have been remarkable with a +8.0 point differential. They covered the spread three-straight times as they have a favorable schedule this week, yet facing the Clippers at Staples Center will be tough.
5		3-1 (3-1-0)	Next games: 11/6 vs. WSH; 11/8 vs. CLE; 11/9 @ CLE; 11/11 @ SA The Sixers are the best story of this early part of the season. For a team that was set up to fail, these young guys have shown some pride and surprised the NBA as a whole. Michael Carter-Williams was phenomenal in his first week ever in the NBA. This week will be another opportunity for Philly to thrive as three of their next four games are at home.
