Last week I posted team rankings according to the NBA Basketball Power Index. It was a controversial ranking, to say the least, with the oddest ranking being the Warriors at 4 and the Nuggets at 10.
Here’s the updated ranking after the first week (or partial week) of the season. I’ve added a number at the end to show how the ranking changed – 0 means it didn’t change, positive numbers means it rose, negative numbers means it fell. The Nuggets were the biggest riser, jumping four spots. The Lakers and Pelicans were the biggest losers, each dropping four spots.
