NBA Rankings - 6 Feb

The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the hottest teams over the past few weeks, with 5 straight wins right now and 9 out of 10 overall. The only reason they didn't move up more than 2 spots this week is that they only played one projected playoff team during those 10 games, a 2-point home win over Detroit a few weeks ago. While they are still in the bottom half of my rankings, the win streak has helped them move up to #5 in my projected playoff seedings, which is probably as high as they could climb without a collapse from the Clippers. Here are this week's full rankings:
