They\u2019ve won 7 straight, are 9-1 in their past games, and sit at the top of the Western Conference standings at 18-8. The biggest reason why? Zion Williamson. I mean, look at these numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zion Williamson\u2019s last 6 games:<br><br>33 PTS &#8211; 10 REB &#8211; 5 AST &#8211; 80% FG<br>30 PTS &#8211; 15 REB &#8211; 8 AST &#8211; 64% FG<br>25 PTS &#8211; 6 REB &#8211; 4 AST &#8211; 53% FG<br>29 PTS &#8211; 10 REB &#8211; 5 AST &#8211; 68% FG<br>35 PTS &#8211; 7 REB &#8211; 4 AST &#8211; 76% FG<br>35 PTS &#8211; 8 REB &#8211; 3 AST &#8211; 66% FG<br><br>DOMINANT. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3wihNnL6rA\">pic.twitter.com\/3wihNnL6rA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHoopCentral\/status\/1602080397437046784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After years of talk around his ability to stay healthy and in shape, including folks straight out calling him lazy and a bust, Zion is arriving with full force the same way he attacks the rim, and the Pelicans and their fans are reaping the benefits. Some of Zion\u2019s assumed frustration with criticism seemingly came out in the above clip when Zion threw down a 360 slam in a game that was over.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Suns took offense to the breaking of an \u2018unwritten rule\u2019 and some arguing and pushing ensued. CP3 elbowed Jose Alvarado in the face, and the Pelicans went on their way and kept winning. Just like bat flips in baseball, let\u2019s break all the unwritten rules, if you don\u2019t want a 360 dunk thrown down, don\u2019t let it happen. The Pelicans are <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/2022\/10\/24\/dcs-corner-three-week-2\/\">here<\/a> to stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sidebar, has a team gone from fun upstarts to most hated quicker than the Suns? From the post-game workout videos to CP3\u2019s general curmudgeon-ness, this team is hard to root for.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Pels, let\u2019s look at 3 teams that if you aren\u2019t watching yet, need to become a part of your league pass rotation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Brooklyn Nets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off-the-court distractions aside, the Nets are figuring things out as we start to hit the dog days of the regular season. Winners of three straight and 8 of their last 10 the Nets find themselves sitting in the top four out East. KD is doing KD things, the same goes for Kyrie, and a bunch of role players are stepping up. Oh, and Ben Simmons has missed 5 of the past 6 as they\u2019ve gotten hot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The New York Knicks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you heard me right. The Knicks have won 6 of 10, Brunson, Randle, and Barrett are starting to gel, and they\u2019re generally a competitive team each and every night. Odds it lasts? Slim to none, but take advantage of them in your pick\u2019em pools while you can.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Denver Nuggets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An oft-forgotten contender, the Nuggets are just quietly rolling to another top 4 finish in the West and are finally healthy. A fascinating team to watch as they currently have seven, yes seven, players averaging double-digit scoring and no player averaging more than 15 shots per game. The Joker continues his MVP-level play, even if no one\u2019s talking about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Week 8 Pick Recaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Picks &#8211; Season (16-7)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lakers &#8211; L &#8211; Lesson.

Giannis vs Ja, the two best athletes in the league.

Unfortunately, this will be the last round we get of the regular season. Give me the Pels, the Suns can\u2019t handle the juice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Survivor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Suns over Rockets 12\/13 &#8211; <\/em>The Suns are rather cringeworthy, sure, but they are too good to lose to these Rockets. Lock them in if they&#8217;re still available for Survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kings over Pistons 12\/16 &#8211; <\/em>Yes, the Pistons just beat a baffling-mid Miami team on the road, but they aren\u2019t good.
