Just over a month into the 2016-17 NBA season, several teams are rounding into form as likely title contenders, while others are revealing themselves as unintentional tank jobs waiting to happen.

Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, you know which category you belong to. Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards, you know who you are as well.

However, there’s a ton of jostling in the middle, and there will be plenty of re-positioning at the top since the four best teams in the NBA have a win percentage of .778 or better.

The Clippers had a bit of a down week, leaving the door open for the Warriors and Cavs to steal the top spot. The question is, which one of these most likely Finals opponents snap the No. 1 ranking?

Here’s a look at our Week 6 2016-17 NBA Power Rankings.
