NBA power rankings: Bucks remain undefeated, the Warriors have dropped five straight games
Previous ranking: 18
The Sixers had seemingly corrected course a week ago after a third consecutive road win brought their record back to .500. Then they lost two in a row at home and, more importantly,. Philadelphia dropped its first contest without Harden against the Knicks in a game that Joel Embiid also missed with an illness. Tyrese Maxey has been the most consistent and available 76er so far and Doc Rivers will continue to rely on him with a difficult schedule ahead.
The Warriors dropped five in a row on what Klay Thompson called a “road trip from hell.” It wasn’t a gauntlet schedule that Golden State faced on the East coast, but it couldn’t get by any of its opponents. The losing streak began two weeks ago in Charlotte and continued last week in Florida against the Heat and Magic and then in New Orleans—though most of the starters rested against the Pelicans. Beyond Stephen Curry, the team hasn’t defended its title very well.
