ESPN Predicts the Record for All 30 NBA Teams Right Now (Through Nov. 5)

Miami&#039;s poor three-point defense and thin roster have fueled a 3-5 start, raising playoff doubts and making Brandin Podziemski a strong bet vs. the Heat.

Unable to cash the desperation heave off the fingertips of guard Kobe Sanders, the Clippers have fallen to 1-7 on the season and extend their losing streak to seven games, already surpassing their longest skid from last season.
