The NBA 2023-2024 has entered its fourth week into the new season. Every team has played at least 10 games to begin their seasons.

These surprising teams include the Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Timberwolves have the number one league defense. Their star Anthony Edwards continues to take the next step towards super stardom. The Hawks have showed signs of being one of the best offenses led by their stars Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. The Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder missed the playoffs in the previous season. The Thunder finished last season strong and made the Play In Tournament. They have played like a playoff caleber team in their first 10 games. The Thunder have made strides in the Western Conference, dominating the West with their rising star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
