2018 NBA Power Rankings: Week Five
2018 NBA Power Rankings: Week Five
The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves atop this week's standings, after weeks of toiling near the bottom despite an excellent record. The Grizzlies (a team I said to watch out for), are enjoying the #2 spot, as well as leading the Western Conference in the standings thus far. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, teams that occupied the #1 and #2 spot in the first rankings, respectively, have dropped far down in the rankings, at #25 and #26. The only constants week-to-week seem to be the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks - teams that, more often than not, are among the bottom five teams in the rankings.
