The 2022-23 NBA hierarchy already saw a few shake-ups in its first week.
The Portland Trail Blazers have taken an early lead on the title for biggest surprise of the season with a 4-0 start. Damian Lillard & Co. have not only won but have notched meaningful victories over Western Conference rivals at the top of this week's rankings, including the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets.
The Utah Jazz joined Portland in the surprisingly undefeated club with its three wins coming against contenders, including Denver and the Minnesota Timberwolves, before coming back down to earth against the lowly Houston Rockets.
