NBA Power Rankings: Grizzlies, Thunder, Bucks and Mavericks trend upward

Published:

By: Grant Afseth

As the NBA season continues, the Cleveland Cavaliers maintain their spot atop the league, with the Boston Celtics not far behind. The Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies are becoming serious contenders, while teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks remain threats.

The Orlando Magic, recently thriving with Franz Wagner leading the way, will now have to adjust without him and Paolo Banchero in the lineup due to oblique injuries. The Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks continue to trend upward in the Eastern Conference behind Orlando.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns work through inconsistencies but remain competitive in a tightly packed Western Conference.
