The Cavaliers finished third from the bottom in the East last season and are the league's multi-year fish-belly team.

The Bulls beat the Eagles and moved up to No. 1 in the East
After the Bulls won, the record reached 39 wins and 21 losses. And the ranking of the Eastern Division, there is once again a big mess. The Bulls overtook the Heat (38-21) with a 0.5-win advantage to become no. 1 in the East. The Heat, on the other hand, dropped from top of the Eastern Conference to No. 2.
After the Cavaliers lost to the Pistons, the record reached 35 wins and 24 losses. The Cavaliers (59.3 percent win percentage) dropped from 4th to 5th in the East, while the Bucks (36-24, 60 percent win percentage) overtook Cleveland by 0.5 wins, moving from 5th to 4th in the East. The 76ers (35 wins, 23 losses, 60.3 percent) continued to rank third in the East, but the gap to the top of the East was widened to three wins.
Bucks with 76ers
After winning today, the Celtics have a record of 35 wins and 26 losses. The Green Army is 6th, only one win behind the 5th-place Cavaliers. The Raptors (7th in the East), close behind the Celtics, are only one win behind the Green Army.
The Nets are already 2.5 wins behind the Raptors after losing. The Nets, ranked No. 8, risk a decline in Brooklyn's rankings would be even greater if they failed to bring back a few stars and stop the losing streak.
Nets giants Durant, Irving and Ben Simmons
The Bulls, no. 1 in the East, are only 5.5 wins ahead of the No. 7 Raptors. Moreover, the Bulls have a very close record with the Heat, 76ers, Bucks and other teams. It seems that the battle for the top spot in the East will continue to play out. The rankings of the Eastern Division are really messy.
