NBA Rankings - 25 Jan

While the Milwaukee Bucks continue to cruise along as the top team in the league and the Lakers hold on just as easily to the top spot in the West, the rest of the league shuffles itself around a bit every day. The hottest team over the past 2 weeks has been the Utah Jazz, who moved up 3 spots while winning 13 of their last 14 games and 18 of 20. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Minnesota, who has lost 8 straight and has fallen completely out of playoff contention, leaving the race for the final seed in the West as a 4-team struggle, with San Antonio holding the upper hand right now. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
