The first week of the 2026-27 NBA season has already produced some surprising results. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat haven’t won a game, sitting dead last in the East at 0-4. The New York Knicks are 0-3, while fellow finalists San Antonio Spurs have struggled to find their footing at 1-2.
While teams that entered the season with higher expectations have endured a rough start, others, such as the New Orleans Pelicans, have made limited investments and are performing around expectations.
