There are two weeks left in the season, and playoff teams are making their final push to solidify conference seeding. Below is a breakdown of NBA Team Power Rankings heading into Week 24.

1. Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder continue their torrid pace. Their depth could be the reason they win the NBA Finals.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland enters Monday 60-15 and firmly sits in the Eastern Conference’s #1 seed. The Cavaliers should find themselves in the Eastern Conference Finals, and their depth should be the deciding factor in winning an NBA championship.

3. Boston Celtics

Boston’s playoff experience can carry them to the conference finals. This will also be the reason why they win the NBA Finals.

4. Houston Rockets

Houston continues to play well as the season comes to an end. Their combination of consistency and defense can be the reason they win an NBA Championship.

5. Golden State Warriors

Golden State continues to hold the Western Conference #6 seed. To win the championship, Golden State will rely on its veterans to stay healthy throughout the playoffs.

6. Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic returned after a five-game absence. Jokic will be the reason the Nuggets reach the NBA Finals and win.

7. Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakes are holding onto the Western Conference #4 seed. If the Lakers are to win the championship, LeBron James will need to stay healthy.

8. Minnesota Timberwolves

Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid continue to power Minnesota’s frontcourt. Their continued strong play, and Anthony Edwards leading the way, can be the reason the Timberwolves reach and win the NBA Finals.

9. Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers find themselves in the play-in tournament. They will heavily rely on their consistent offense to lead them through the play-in games.

10. New York Knicks

The Knicks have clinched a playoff spot. Moving forward, they will make sure they enter the playoffs healthy. Their defense can lead them to a championship.

11. Indiana Pacers

Indiana’s young team has fared well, and they are still holding onto the Eastern Conference’s 4th seed.

12. Detroit Pistons

Detroit will be a tough matchup for any playoff opponent.

13. Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis currently owns the Eastern Conference 5th seed but decided to part ways with their head coach. This can come back to bite them in the playoffs.

14. Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks will go as far as Giannis can take them.

15. Orlando Magic

If Orlando survives the play-in games, they will be a team to watch in the playoffs.

16. Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta will continue living and dying, by the three, in the pay-in tournament.

17. Sacramento Kings

Sacramento continues to hold onto the last play-in spot in the Western Conference.

18. Chicago Bulls

Currently, in a play-in spot, Chicago’s youth has the team heading in the right direction.

19. Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks currently sit in the play-in tournament, but they will be lucky to make it through.

20. Miami Heat

They can survive the play-in games, but will their lack of a superstar cause them an early exit in the playoffs?

21. Phoenix Suns

If the Suns miss the play-in games, this season was a complete letdown.

22. Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers have talented youth, but they need to continue building for the future.

23. San Antonio Spurs

The addition of De’Aaron Fox lessens the burden of a disappointing future. However, San Antonio’s future is very bright.

24. Toronto Raptors

It was a disappointing season, and the upcoming draft will be crucial for Toronto.

25. Brooklyn Nets

The Nets need to enter rebuild mode.

26. New Orleans Pelicans

Another disappointing season, and another offense figuring out how to keep the roster healthy.

27. Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte must land the number one pick in the upcoming draft.

28. Washington Wizards

If Washington loses the number one pick, they enter basketball purgatory.

29. Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia is eliminated from the playoffs and must answer vital questions in the offseason.

30. Utah Jazz

Utah must sell off anyone who will bring draft assets and start rebuilding.
