NBA Rankings - 13 Jan

Four teams went through the week without recording a loss, but the most impressive by far was Minnesota, which won all 4 of its games by double digits, three against teams currently in playoff position. All 4 of the games were at home, which could be bad news for the Wolves, who play 7 of their next 10 on the road. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
