NBA s latest strength rankings: Lakers third, Clippers slip, Rockets surge 7 places, Mavericks fall behind

The NBA regular season is in full swing. After another week of exciting matches, the rankings in the standings have changed quite a bit. Earlier, the NBA officially updated the latest team strength rankings. The rankings of many teams have changed, some have declined and some have soared. Next, let's take a look at the latest team strength list. NBA's latest strength rankings: The Lakers' third-place Warriors fell, the Rockets surged 7 places, and the Mavericks fell behind.

Strength list 21-30: Grizzlies, Mavericks, Suns, Hornets, Pacers; Kings, Jazz, Wizards, Nets, Pelicans. This echelon includes teams that were originally relatively good, such as the Pacers, Suns, Kings, etc., but they still have not been able to get rid of the current predicament. The team's record is still not ideal, and they urgently need to find ways to solve the team's current situation.

There is a team that fell from the ranking in the previous period to the 22nd place in this period. They are the Mavericks. The Mavericks have continuously fallen from the top of the strength list and have fallen to the last echelon this time. The current predicament for the team is very obvious. In addition to the impact of Irving's absence in the backcourt, the team has also suffered injuries one after another, including the likes of Big Eyebrow and Lively who will be absent due to injuries in the future. This also makes the Mavericks, whose original record is not ideal, face more severe difficulties. Let us wait and see whether Flagg can carry the team's banner?

Strength ranking 11-20: Clippers, Pistons, Bulls, Trail Blazers (22nd last week), 76ers; Heat, Celtics, Hawks, Magic, Raptors; 3 wins and 2 losses is the current record of the Clippers. They are ranked fifth in the Western Conference standings, but in the official In the strength list, their ranking has fallen out of the top 10. For this Clippers, in their last game against the Pelicans, they played the smoothest game of the season so far; Leonard contributed 34+6 steals and a winning performance. The two core players are in excellent condition, and the role players have also improved. For them, if they can maintain this state, they are still expected to achieve better results this season.

The most surprising thing is undoubtedly the Trail Blazers. They were ranked 22nd in last week's strength list, but they continued to improve their record ranking and position on the strength list with their outstanding performance. In the game against the Nuggets, they finally upset the Nuggets with a two-point advantage and achieved three consecutive victories with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Since changing the head coach, the team's performance has been improving. Avdija, Grant and other players are in excellent form. At present, they still have a small lineup when they win, which is not good news for Yang Hansen. In addition, Lowe has been DNP in the last game of his comeback. Whether he can get another chance in the future is one of the topics that domestic fans are concerned about.

Strength ranking 1-10: Thunder (No. 1 last week), Nuggets (No. 2 last week), Lakers (No. 6 last week), Rockets (No. 11 last week), Bucks (No. 12 last week); Warriors, Knicks, Cavaliers, Spurs, Timberwolves. The Bucks and Rockets have risen to the top five from outside the 10th place in the previous period. The Bucks currently have a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. For them, the team's status has improved. This is not only due to Antetokounmpo's excellent form, but also to the explosion of role players in the team, including players such as Rollins and Trent who have been in quite good form recently.

The Rockets currently have a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, but their ranking on the strength list has reached 4th, which has soared 7 places compared to the previous period. This is mainly because the team has achieved a wave of three consecutive victories in the past period, which benefited from the adjustment of the team's starting lineup. They seem to have found a winning lineup and rhythm. Durant finished efficiently on the offensive end, while Shen Jing, Smith and others continued their good form. In addition, Okogie also seized his opportunities very well after mentioning the starting lineup.

The Lakers also went from 6th last week to 3rd this week. The current record is 5 wins and 2 losses. The team has achieved a wave of three consecutive victories. During this period, Reeves was in excellent form, and Doncic also continued his hot state after his return. In the last game, the role players blossomed more and helped the team. At present, players such as Smart, Laravia, and Ayton have gradually found their form. The explosion of role players makes the Lakers' lineup look even deeper.

The Thunder and Nuggets are still at the top of the strength list. Currently, the Thunder are the only team in the league to maintain a complete victory, with a record of 7 wins and 0 losses. Compared with the long regular season, this is just the beginning. If you want to ensure your record in the future, in addition to performing well, you must also reduce the occurrence of injuries. Looking forward to more exciting duels in the future.
