NBA Power Rankings: Clippers ride hot streak to No. 1; Celtics move into top 10; Blazers get reality check
CBSN
There was plenty of movement at the top of this week's Power Rankings after a few heavyweight battles
Things are getting wild out there in the Western Conference. The Utah Jazz look like the best team in the conference for weeks, then they lose to a buzzsaw Phoenix Suns team, who then fall to a red-hot Los Angeles Clippers squad the very next night. Meanwhile you've got the Denver Nuggets looking nearly unbeatable since the addition of Aaron Gordon, and the Los Angeles Lakers silently hanging around with the impending return of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. All this makes for an exciting round of Power Rankings, with lots of shuffling at the top. The Clippers' perfect week and big win over the Suns earned them the top spot, while the Jazz dropped a few spots due to a pair of losses. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Co. were the biggest risers of the week, while the struggling Kings fell eight spots as their losing streak stretched to six games. One thing's for sure: We can expect plenty more turnover in the final month of the regular season. Here are this week's NBA Power Rankings.More Related News
