1. Al-Bireh – The clear powerhouse this week. Al-Bireh continues to dominate both ends of the floor, showing elite defensive organization and a fluid offense led by their dynamic backcourt. With consistent energy and composure under pressure, they’ve established themselves as the team to beat.

2. Bethlehem – A strong contender with one of the most balanced rosters in the league. Bethlehem’s playmaking has improved noticeably, and their perimeter shooting keeps them in every game. If they can lock down defensively, they might challenge Al-Bireh for the top spot soon.

3. Jerusalem – Jerusalem remains right in the mix, boasting impressive athleticism and speed in transition. Their depth gives them an edge in close matchups, but late-game turnovers have cost them. Cleaning up execution could push them higher in the coming weeks.

4. Gaza – This gritty squad plays with unmatched heart and hustle. Though inconsistent offensively, Gaza’s physical defense and rebounding presence keep them competitive. If their shooters find rhythm, they could surprise some top-tier teams.

5. Al-Khalil – Flashes of strong team chemistry have appeared, but Al-Khalil still struggles with maintaining tempo and defensive discipline. Their frontcourt talent is undeniable, and if they find more offensive efficiency, they can climb the rankings quickly.

6. Yaffa – Despite sitting at the bottom, Yaffa shows potential and resilience. Their young roster is learning fast and playing with high energy. With more experience and tighter defense, they could develop into a real spoiler team as the season progresses.
