5 NBA Teams Playing Their Best Basketball With One Month To Go

Sometimes it is best to be playing great basketball at the right time. This is especially true for NBA teams trying to win a championship, and the following five squads are definitely hitting their stride in the last month. Will any of them win a title? That is unclear, but I would not want to coach against any of these teams at the moment.

Stephen Curry's shot against Chris Paul recently looked straight out of a video game. The PG has his Golden State Warriors playing smooth basketball for the most part, and they should have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Atlanta Hawks have won seven out of their last 10 games, and they should have no problem entering playoff basketball as the Eastern Conference's top squad when it comes to team record. Whether their success this regular season will have any overlap with the postseason is still not certain.

3. Indiana Pacers

Did this one catch you off guard? The Indiana Pacers have won seven games in a row, and it seems like the return of Paul George could result in a surprising playoff run.

2. San Antonio Spurs

Tim Duncan has been incredibly consistent this season, but his latest injury is a little bit concerning. Tony Parker is finally returning to playoff form, and we will have to see how he looks once the San Antonio Spurs recover from Kyrie Irving dropping 57 points on them in Thursday night's game.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers

It can't be denied that LeBron James is playing on a different level right now. He has his Cleveland Cavaliers balling with championship intensity on both ends of the floor, and the Eastern Conference should be trying their best to avoid James and company.
