NBA Rankings - 6 Jan

The Warriors maintained the top spot in the rankings yet again after beating their top rival, Houston, on the road, to assert their supremacy. The hottest team in the league this week was Philadelphia, which won all 4 of its games this week, including 3 against probable playoff teams, and it helped the 76ers move up 4 spots in the rankings and 3 projected playoff seeds. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
