NBA Rankings - 27 Jan

There are 4 teams that made it through this week without losing, but the hottest team of the week actually lost once. The Philadelphia 76ers went 3-1 this week, with a head-scratching loss to the Grizzlies the lone blemish, but they won 3 games by double digits, including a road blowout of the Spurs. The big week only moved them up one spot in the rankings, but it also moved them up a spot in the projected playoff seeding. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
