NBA Rankings - 20 Jan

This week was probably one of the most predictable of the season, which caused less movement than normal in the rankings. 5 teams went undefeated this week, but the most surprising was probably the Clippers, who beat the Rockets and Nuggets this week after beating the Warriors last week, and are now projected to make the playoffs. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
