Three of the biggest shocks I have seen this year from teams is Dallas Miami and OKC. Everybody knew Dallas would be better thanks to Doncic and KP because lets face it they couldn't get any worse anyway so last year they got a bit better but this year with KP coming back we expected them to be much better, however nobody expected them to be 3rd in west so far, maybe at early days thanks to good schedule and all but now we are over 25 games into season and they are still third, with Doncic missing they might drop a few but playoffs are basically guaranteed for them.

Miami on the other hand got Butler and like Dallas we knew they would get better, I mean who wouldn't be better with Butler than without Butler but who could have guessed them being second in east with such a good record?

OKC was basically tanking as far as we saw, they had to trade PG13 so they went full tanking mode and gave Westbrook as well but right now they are the 8th seed, I am not saying they will be in playoffs because they are on a thing line there but I would have expected them to be dead last in the rankings.
