After last week's crazy rankings, things stabilized a bit this week, and the teams we are used to seeing near the top made their way back to familiar ground, with the Lakers and Bucks sitting in the top 2 spots, where they spent most of last season. There were 9 games postponed this week, which left the Celtics with only 1 game and 6 other teams with only 2 games during the week. The Nuggets were the hottest team of the week, going 3-1, only losing to Brooklyn, while Nikola Jokic made his case for MVP, as he is currently averaging a triple-double and leading the league in assists as a center. The Knicks, meanwhile, went back to being the Knicks, losing all 4 of its contests this week and dropping 15 spots in this week's rankings:
