The Bulls have become the 1st team besides the Spurs to have a Cost per Win under $1 million since Part 3 of this series. They have accomplished this by going 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Hornets have moved up a few spots by going on a 10 game win streak. The Clippers continue their meteoric rise in the rankings (up to 15th this week), however, their top scorer, Eric Gordon is out for a few weeks with an injury. So expect them to not stay as high as they are this week.
On the other hand, the Raptors (10 game losing streak) and Cavs (19 game losing streak) are struggling and have fallen to the bottom of the standings.
