NBA Rankings - 11 Nov

The Boston Celtics have extended their winning streak to 11 games, and they have also risen to the #2 spot in my latest rankings, behind only the defending champs, who have won 5 in a row themselves. The Phoenix Suns, meanwhile, drop clear to the bottom after losing all 4 of their games this week, including the last 3 in a row at home. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
