Risers
Hey, the Cleveland Cavaliers won a game this week! Sure, it was their only win over their last 14 contests, but that's about all it takes to move up among our bottom teams these days.
Fallers
The Chicago Bulls are the only NBA team without a win in 2019 and are currently riding a league-worst nine-game losing streak. After a two-week hiatus, they slide right back into the 30th spot of our rankings.
