1. Phoenix Suns
2021-22 record: 24-5
Previous ranking: 1
Suns leading scorer Devin Booker made his return to the court on Sunday night after missing seven games with a hamstring injury. Phoenix put up a balanced effort without Booker, but one player in particular who stepped up his play was reserve forward Cameron Johnson. In 30.3 minutes per night in the seven contests, Johnson averaged 14.6 points and was Phoenix's second-leading scorer in that stretch. -- Lopez
