NBA Power Rankings: Week Twenty

3. Dallas Mavericks (41-28)

Dallas has five wins in it’s last six games including wins against Portland, Indiana and a blowout road win in Oklahoma City. Otherwise known as a good week.

4. Houston Rockets (45-22)

I’m willing to give them a pass on the three-game losing streak since the three teams involved were the Thunder, Bulls and Heat all on the road. Their next three: Cavs, Bobcats, Sixers.
