"From early All-Star performances to disappointing starts, the 2025-26 NBA regular season has been nothing short of interesting. Nikola Jokic is having yet another historic career start, quietly grabbing his eighth triple-double this season against the Chicago Bulls on Monday and leading the Denver Nuggets in points and assists in their past eight games. Speaking of streaks, the Detroit Pistons are dominating the East and riding an 11-game win streak -- their longest since 2008. The last time the Pistons got off to this hot a start, they reached the Eastern Conference finals in 2008."
"Two players in the NBA have scored at least 30 points and grabbed at least 19 rebounds in the same game this season: Giannis Antetokounmpo and Hartenstein. The Thunder's perpetually under-the-radar center is performing even better in his second season with the franchise, averaging career highs in points (12.9), rebounds (10.9) and steals (1.5). His 62 makes within five feet are the seventh most in the league."
The 2025-26 NBA regular season features surprising individual and team starts. Nikola Jokic recorded his eighth triple-double and has led the Nuggets in points and assists across recent games. The Detroit Pistons sit atop the East with an 11-game win streak, their best start since 2008 when they reached the Eastern Conference finals. Isaiah Hartenstein has emerged as a major role player for the Thunder, posting career highs in points, rebounds and steals and contributing to a 14-1 team start. Veteran additions like Tim Hardaway Jr. are boosting benches across contending teams, and rankings identify key impact players for all 30 franchises.
