📊 NBA Power Rankings — March 2026 (Week 22)
↑ Rising · ↓ Falling · — Steady
Oklahoma City Thunder
52-14
Best record in the league. SGA is the MVP frontrunner at 32.1 PPG. The defense is suffocating.
Cleveland Cavaliers
50-16
Donovan Mitchell + Evan Mobley + Jarrett Allen = dominant. Best defense in the East by far.
Boston Celtics
49-17
Defending champs cruising. Tatum is locked in for the playoffs. 12-2 in their last 14.
Denver Nuggets
46-20
Jokic doing Jokic things (26/13/9). Murray's hamstring is the only concern.
New York Knicks
45-21
Brunson + Towns + OG = contender. Their halfcourt offense is elite.
Milwaukee Bucks
43-23
Giannis healthy = scary. Dame finding his rhythm. Playoff dark horse if healthy.
Minnesota Timberwolves
42-24
ANT averaging 28 PPG. Gobert anchoring defense. Missing a closer in late games.
Dallas Mavericks
41-25
Luka + Kyrie chemistry is peaking. PJ Washington is the unsung hero.
Miami Heat
40-26
Bam Adebayo's 83-point game energized the whole team. Jimmy Butler drama aside, they're rolling.
Phoenix Suns
39-27
KD + Beal + Booker scoring is insane but defense remains a question mark.
Memphis Grizzlies
38-28
Ja Morant fully healthy and it shows. The most fun team to watch.
Indiana Pacers
37-29
Fastest pace in the league. Haliburton distributing at an elite level.
Sacramento Kings
36-30
Fox + Sabonis PnR is unstoppable but the bench is thin.
Houston Rockets
35-31
Young core (Sengun + Green + Amen) showing playoff readiness.
LA Lakers
34-32
LeBron at 41 still averaging 24/7/7. AD's health is everything.
