NBA Power Rankings: Who meets the 40-20 rule?

The '40-20 rule' suggests that only the Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons currently qualify as true title contenders.

The San Antonio Spurs are close to qualifying, while the Boston Celtics have an outside chance. Conversely, the Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, and New York Knicks fall short of the criteria.

Other teams, including the Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, and Brooklyn Nets, also face questions regarding their performance and roster stability.
