NBA Power Rankings Based on NBA Championship Odds After Week 4

The NBA season just kicked off last month, so many of the championship odds aren't going to change. Yet, that doesn't mean there isn't a hierarchy of teams in the league.

The Association is constantly changing and keeping up with who's looking the best can be difficult. Every week, I'll be providing my NBA Power Rankings for each team in relation to their NBA title odds. 

Here's how things stand after the first few weeks of action. All odds listed are via WynnBET.

1. Golden State Warriors (+550, LW: No. 1)

The Warriors have the best defense in the league, the best shooter and maybe have the most fun on the court every night. Steph Curry has the Warriors at the top of the league and Golden State looks back.

2. Brooklyn Nets (+270, LW: No. 5)

The Nets are getting closer to what we thought they would be at the start of the season. Kevin Durant is unstoppable and all he needs is James Harden to find his rhythm.

3. Phoenix Suns (+1200, LW: No. 8)

The Suns are quietly on a roll and CP3 is playing great basketball. Phoenix is having the opposite of a Finals hangover and look motivated.

4. Chicago Bulls (+4000, LW: No. 7)

The Bulls are playing nearly every playoff team from last year right now and they are handling it with great poise. They are 6-3 in their last nine and don't have Nikola Vucevic. When they get to full strength, watch out.

5. Miami Heat (+1200, LW: No. 2)

Miami is starting to find its rhythm again after winning two straight. This Heat team will be judged by the postseason more than the regular season, but the chemistry looks good early.

6. Washington Wizards (+15000, LW: No. 6)

Washington is here to stay. The Wizards are playing great team basketball and are getting it done on both ends.

7. Denver Nuggets (+2000, LW: No. 13)

Denver is following Nikola Jokic to the end and he isn't leading them astray. Although he was suspended for a game, the Nuggets were able to pick up a win and stay in the upper tier of the Western Conference.

8. Utah Jazz (+800, LW: No. 4)

Utah has had some injury issues recently, but they are healthy and everything is rolling again. I expect to see them at the top of this list soon.

9. Philadelphia 76ers (+2500, LW: No. 3)

Philly is losing games, but the job the supporting cast has done in Embiid's absence is honorable.

10. Los Angeles Lakers (+750, LW: No. 16)

The Lakers have some wins under their belts and that's all that matters. With LeBron James set to return, Los Angeles needs to focus on advancing its offensive chemistry.

11. Dallas Mavericks (+4000, LW: No. 10)

Luka Doncic has an ankle injury, so we're about to find out what the Mavericks are truly made of. He can only carry this team so far.

12. New York Knicks (+7500, LW: No. 9)

New York needs to find a way to get consistent wins. The Knicks have lost their edge defensively, so a new identity is in need.

13. Los Angeles Clippers (+2000, LW: No. 20)

Paul George is playing amazing ball right now and the Clippers are surging. I don't know how much longer this can last, but it's fun right now.

14. Cleveland Cavaliers (+50000, LW: No. 15)

The Cavaliers are sneaking up this board and they are doing it with good wins. Evan Mobley is set to miss some time, which will hurt, but the Cavs should have enough to keep going.

15. Memphis Grizzlies (+7500, LW: No. 12)

Memphis is right at .500 and it fits. Ja Morant has improved, but the Grizzlies still aren't ready to compete on a serious level yet. Their defense is getting them in trouble, which is a weird thing to say about a Memphis team.

16. Charlotte Hornets (+20000, LW: No. 19)

Charlotte has cooled off since the opening weeks of the season, but it's still a powerful offensive team. The Hornets just can't stop anybody.

17. Milwaukee Bucks (+800, LW: No. 11)

Milwaukee still doesn't have two of its starters, but the Finals hangover is real. I'm sure the Bucks will get back to normal, but right now things aren't looking to good.

18. Toronto Raptors (+20000, LW: No. 14)

Pascal Siakam is back and that makes the Raptors have the longest lineup in the league. Their length makes their defense stifling, and gives them a high ceiling on a nightly basis.

19. Boston Celtics (+5000, LW: No. 23)

Boston continues to be inconsistent and unable to string quality wins together. Once Jaylen Brown returns, they should have a little more gas in the tank.

20. Portland Trail Blazers (+7500, LW: No. 18)

Portland is starting to look better as Damian Lillard starts to look better. Lillard is recovering from an abdominal injury, but Portland still can be competitive in the process.

21. Sacramento Kings (+20000, LW: No. 22)

The Kings remain in mediocre purgatory. They still haven't proved to be a good team, but they are much improved from what they were last season.

22. Atlanta Hawks (+4000, LW: No. 17)

The Hawks might be the biggest disappointment this season. Many thought this was the year they take the leap into the league's elite. Now it seems like they'll be fighting to get into the playoffs.

23. Oklahoma City Thunder (+25000, LW: No. 25)

The Thunder are starting to show promise as an "any given night" type of team. They beat the Kings last week and are slowly becoming a fun watch.

24. Indiana Pacers (+20000, LW: No. 21)

If the Pacers can figure out how to win road games, they could definitely be a better team. However, they are 2-7 as the away team and sit at 6-9 on the season.

25. San Antonio Spurs (+30000, LW: No. 24)

The Spurs are the middle of the bottom tier. Their season outlook isn't that bright, but they have shown to have their moments. San Antonio should improve slightly when Jakob Poetl gets back.

26. Minnesota Timberwolves (+20000, LW: No. 26)

Minnesota is sliding, and sliding quickly. There seemed to be a little bit of on-court frustration from Karl-Anthony Towns in the loss to the Clippers. That needs to be monitored as it can go bad very quickly in Minnesota.

27. Detroit Pistons (+50000, LW: No. 30)

Detroit is looking better as Cade Cunningham begins to come into his own. They aren't many games into the "Cunningham Era," so there is still a lot of growing to do.

28. Orlando Magic (+10000, LW: No. 27)

Orlando, after gaining some quality wins, is 3-11 and has lost three straight. Cole Anthony is still playing well which is a plus.

29. New Orleans Pelicans (+20000, LW: No. 29)

The Pelicans are an easy team to fade, but they got a win this week so I won't put them at the bottom.

30. Houston Rockets (+50000, LW: No. 28)

Houston continues to struggle to win games. The Rockets are just hoping that Jalen Green can come along at a faster pace.
