10. Philadelphia 76ers

Four straight wins by the 76ers, largely because of the burgeoning chemistry between Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, is a really, really good sign for a team previously defined by a mysterious shoulder injury to Markelle Fultz.

It’s also worth noting that both are showing progress this season in important ways. For Simmons, who is already incredible as a passer, he’s starting to look comfortable shooting jump shots and making defensives pay for giving him space. As for Embiid, he’s found a chemistry with Simmons that sees him handle all mismatches when Simmons finds him. Were he not getting in foul trouble, he’d be about perfect when on the floor.

Having two really, really good players — even if they are young — matters, it would seem.
