We have some interesting changes in the rankings this week. First of all, the top-tier of the rankings have barely changed. Most of the candidates have kept up a similar level of play that they have played at all season long, which does not warrant any particular changes.

First of all, James Harden has had a tough stretch of games and since he has been hanging on by a thread lately, he is dropped for this week’s edition. Another regular who hasn’t missed out on a single week in these power rankings is Tony Parker, who missed the two games the Spurs won this week but played in the two losses to the Clippers and the Thunder. But who will be taking their places?
