NBA Rankings - 30 Mar

There are less than 2 weeks left in the NBA regular season, and teams are fighting for playoff positioning. The hottest team of the last 2 weeks has been the Jazz, who won 7 of 8, though only one of those was against a probable playoff team. They had the toughest strength of schedule for most of the season, so it's finally balancing out a bit, and they won most of those games (6) by double digits. The coldest team has been Oklahoma City, who won only twice in 7 games, and has now won only 7 of their past 20 games and it now projected as the #8 seed. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
