Stats Power Rankings 11/24/2024


SGA and Ja Morant have led their teams to big weeks.

These are changes since 11/13.

Notables

* The Bucks and Nets continue to establish themselves as the best teams in the league. The two teams have ranked in the top 2 spots every day since November 3rd. And that's with the Bucks record being 8-7. Their 35-point win over Cleveland back on 11/4 probably goes a long way to boost their rank.
* The Spurs are on a heater, winning their last 7. Luka has averaged 20/10/9 over those games. They've risen 5 spots to #5 and are now the second-ranked team in the West.
* Still competing in the middle of the pack, but Memphis and Oklahoma City have seen big bumps as well, rising 7 and 8 spots to #11 and #12, respectively. The two teams have combined for a 7-2 record since the last power rankings.
* The Denver Nuggets have fallen 6 spots to now stand at #20, thanks to losses to the Pels and the Mavs.
* The stats also love the Celtics and the Knicks. Despite both teams having records close to .500, they are ranked in the top 8. The Knicks in particular have been all over the place this season; they beat Houston by 52 and Western Conference champion Phoenix, while losing by 39 to Utah and dropping games to the likes of Philadelphia and Detroit.
* On the other hand, the stats just cannot get behind the Warriors despite their 9-7 record. They've fallen 2 more spots to #21.

Full power rankings are below.

NBN Trade Deadline Grades by NotChris

This year’s trade deadline failed to reach the heights of its IRL counterpart, but how could it? That’s like comparing Beyonce to a 35-year-old soccer mom. Sure, soccer moms can be fun and a little wild. But it’s Beyonce , man.  There were some big names moved, but teams improved around the margins more than anything at the deadline. Many bigger moves were made much earlier in the year. Here, I will focus on breaking down the deadline-adjacent trades, starting with… Trade 59: WAS receives: Khris Middleton, Victor Oladipo, Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2026 LAC 2nd MIL receives: James Harden Milwaukee: A- This deal makes a ton of sense for Milwaukee. They’re a middling team at the moment, sitting a hair above the play-in. They have been relying way too much on Oladipo for years and were playing him out of position at point guard. Replacing him with Harden (an actual PG) should do wonders for the Milwaukee offense.  Harden obviously isn’t the player he once was. However, he is still a gr...

Not Chris 2025 NBN Mock Draft

Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it! Not projecting any trades because teams are crazy and too hard to predict. TLDR at bottom.  1. Houston Rockets - Cooper Flagg, F, Duke No brainer here. Flagg is by far the best player in this draft, and one of the best prospects we’ve seen in the last 10 years. Houston’s tank paid off, and they get a do-it-all forward with a Jordan-esque competitive drive to build around.  2. Charlotte Hornets - Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers Charlotte pulled a stunner earlier this week, trading picks 5, 6, and Zach Edey to Dallas for the #2 pick, where they will likely select Dylan Harper. Harper is a 6’6 intelligent guard with All-Star upside. He will pair nicely with Paolo Banchero as another dynamic playmaker with scoring punch, this time with more shooting upside. This move signals Charlotte’s intent to move off All-Star LaMelo Ball (who they sneakily gave up a lot for; Stephon Castle, Nik...

Stats Power Rankings 2/24

Curry and Tatum push their teams to new heights.  These are changes since 11/24. Notables * The Nets remain at the top of the power rankings, despite making no notable moves at the trade deadline. Are they right to sit on their laurels?  * The Sixers and, to a lesser extent, the Grizzlies have made jumps up the power rankings, thanks to the acquisitions of Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum. Can they dethrone some of the more entrenched contenders in their respective conferences? Full power rankings are below.  Format: Team (Record) [Change since last PR on 11/24] Brooklyn Nets (42-15)                        [0] Utah Jazz (40-17)                               [+1] Philadelphia 76ers (40-17)                 [+11] Phoenix Suns (41-16)              ...
