How we build these rankings
These rankings blend the current championship-odds consensus from the national sportsbooks with early-season results. The title board sets the weekly baseline; as games are played, on-court performance moves teams up and down. We update every Sunday night after the weekend slate, so the order is fresh for Monday morning. Title odds shown are 2026-27 NBA Finals prices and are listed for reference.
The full Week 4 rankings, 1 to 30
| # | Team | Title Odds | The read |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | San Antonio Spurs | +280 | Still No. 1 at 8-2. Victor Wembanyama is playing at an MVP level and the Spurs own the shortest title price on the board |
| 2 | Oklahoma City Thunder | +400 | Back to 8-2 with four straight wins; the injuries to Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace have not sunk the floor |
| 3 | Philadelphia 76ers | +850 | Tied for the NBA’s best record at 8-2 and clearly the East front-runner with LeBron James and Jaylen Brown next to Joel Embiid |
| 4 | Boston Celtics | +1000 | A 7-2 start keeps them the clear No. 2 in the East contender tier |
| 5 | Houston Rockets | +1500 | Rolling at 7-3; young, long and a problem for anyone most nights |
| 6 | New York Knicks | +1100 | The defending champs are 5-4, and books still price them like contenders just outside the top tier |
| 7 | Minnesota Timberwolves | +1600 | Up one. A 7-3 run and the two-way length keeps traveling |
| 8 | Detroit Pistons | +2000 | Up one at 6-2, second in the East and backing up the preseason hype |
| 9 | Los Angeles Lakers | +2500 | Up three. Tied for the best record in the league at 8-2, and the star power is clicking around Luka Doncic |
| 10 | Golden State Warriors | +3000 | The week’s biggest riser, up seven spots. A 7-3 start has the odds tumbling as the veteran core finds its footing |
| 11 | Denver Nuggets | +2500 | Slips one despite a tidy 5-3; Nikola Jokic keeps the ceiling sky-high |
| 12 | Cleveland Cavaliers | +2800 | Down one at 5-5 as the open stays uneven |
| 13 | Toronto Raptors | +2200 | The week’s biggest faller, down six. A 5-4 cool-off took the shine off the early buzz |
| 14 | Portland Trail Blazers | +3000 | Holding at 6-3; the young group keeps winning even with Ja Morant in and out |
| 15 | Atlanta Hawks | +4500 | Up three on a 7-4 climb; the backcourt firepower is finally cashing in |
| 16 | Memphis Grizzlies | +10000 | Down three. The unbeaten magic faded with three losses, but 6-3 still holds up |
| 17 | Dallas Mavericks | +10000 | Up two at 5-4, including a 24-point win over Oklahoma City that turned heads |
| 18 | Miami Heat | +6000 | Down three at 3-6, with the outlook still tied to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s health |
| 19 | Indiana Pacers | +6500 | Down three after a 3-7 slide; the pace-and-space ceiling is still in there somewhere |
| 20 | Orlando Magic | +9000 | Holds at 20; the defense travels but the shooting is still the swing skill at 2-7 |
| 21 | New Orleans Pelicans | +50000 | Up four. A 4-5 start is better than anyone expected from this group |
| 22 | Washington Wizards | +35000 | Down one at 4-6, still a pleasant surprise for a rebuilding East team |
| 23 | Charlotte Hornets | +15000 | Down one; a 3-7 month cools the early perimeter buzz |
| 24 | Phoenix Suns | +22000 | Down one at 3-5 with plenty of questions on the retooled roster |
| 25 | Utah Jazz | +60000 | Down one; a development year at 1-8 with one eye on the lottery |
| 26 | Los Angeles Clippers | +100000 | A veteran group stuck at 1-7 in a transition year |
| 27 | Chicago Bulls | +100000 | Retooling in the middle of the East at 1-7 |
| 28 | Milwaukee Bucks | +100000 | A new-look chapter at 1-8 after dealing Giannis Antetokounmpo |
| 29 | Brooklyn Nets | +100000 | Firmly in the rebuild lane at 2-7 |
| 30 | Sacramento Kings | +150000 | Still the league’s worst mark at 1-8, searching for traction in a loaded West |

Week 4 risers and fallers
San Antonio holds at No. 1 at 8-2, with Victor Wembanyama playing at an MVP level and the Spurs keeping the shortest title price on the board. Oklahoma City answered a rough patch with four straight wins to climb back to 8-2 and stay at No. 2 even with Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace all sidelined. The week’s biggest climber was Golden State, up seven spots to No. 10 behind a 7-3 start that has the odds tumbling, with the Los Angeles Lakers (up three to No. 9 on their own 8-2 run) and the New Orleans Pelicans (up four to No. 21) also surging. The biggest fall belonged to Toronto, down six to No. 13 after a 5-4 cool-off took the air out of the early buzz; Memphis slipped three to No. 16 as its unbeaten start ended, and the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers each dropped three on losing weeks. The Philadelphia 76ers (8-2) held at No. 3 as the East front-runner, and the defending-champion New York Knicks are still priced like contenders even at 5-4.
