Latest NBA rankings: Rockets drop to fifth place, Lakers win, Warriors lose three games in a row and fall behind

The schedule of the NBA Cup on November 22 has come to an end again. On the match day that just ended, many teams played exciting duels. There were expected big wins, unexpected losses, and even more exciting kills. After the end of this game, there have been new changes in the competition for rankings in the standings. Next, let’s take a look at the latest rankings of the East and West in the NBA standings. The latest NBA rankings: The Rockets fell to fifth place, the Lakers won, and the Warriors lost three consecutive games and fell behind.

The 11th to 15th places in the Western Conference standings are the Grizzlies, Mavericks, Clippers, Kings and Pelicans respectively. In the past period of time, the Clippers have been deeply affected by injuries. Harden led the team as a single core. Despite his outstanding performance, it was still difficult to prevent the Clippers from losing. The most important thing is that it is still unknown when Leonard will return. After three consecutive losses, the Clippers' record is only 4 wins and 11 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference. Whether the lineup adjustment or the dismissal of the head coach comes first has become a hot topic.

The Lone Ranger has determined that it will rebuild its lineup and build a new lineup around Flagg. In the game that ended earlier, Flagg played his best game of the season so far. His 29+7 data helped the team defeat their opponents and win the game. Their record came to 5 wins and 12 losses. Although they are still at the bottom of the Western Conference, Flagg is gradually realizing his talent and steadily improving, which is good news for them.

The 6th to 10th places in the standings are the Suns, Timberwolves, Warriors, Trail Blazers and Jazz respectively. Earlier, the Warriors ushered in the return of Curry, Green and Butler, but facing the Trail Blazers, who had recently suffered a losing streak, the game trend of the two was ultimately unexpected. The Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak at the hands of their opponents and have dropped to 9 wins and 9 losses. They are currently ranked 8th in the Western Conference standings. For them, they have also been caught up in trade rumors recently. How do you think the Warriors will adjust next?

The Suns' performance has improved somewhat. Earlier, with their multi-point performance, they defeated the Timberwolves and won the game. After two consecutive victories, the record reached 10 wins and 6 losses. Although Jaylen Green was troubled by injuries, Dillon became Booker's most stable helper. So far this season, he has played 10 games, averaging 21 points, 3.3 rebounds, two assists and 2.1 steals per game. His performance is still surprising.

The 1st to 5th places in the standings are the Thunder, Nuggets, Lakers, Spurs and Rockets respectively. In the last key position battle, the Rockets and Nuggets put on an outstanding performance, but eventually they lost to the Nuggets. The fundamental reason for the loss was that Shen Jing was completely outplayed by Jokic on both offense and defense; Durant's slump prevented them from winning the game at the critical moment. As a result, the Rockets' record is 10 wins and 4 losses, and their ranking has dropped to fifth in the Western Conference standings. Fortunately, they are only 0.5 games away from the third-place Lakers.

The current records of the Spurs and Lakers are both 11 wins and 4 losses. The Lakers have won and ranked third in the standings without a game. They have won three consecutive games, and they are expected to continue their victory against the Jazz in their next game and stabilize their ranking in the standings. James had a brilliant performance in his first comeback and is also intentionally changing his style of play. Let us wait and see whether the Lakers can continue this state.

After the Nuggets won two consecutive games, their record reached 12 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference standings, closely chasing the Thunder in front of them. Jokic has maintained efficient output so far this season, Murray's status has improved so far this season, and offseason adjustments have also made the Nuggets' lineup deeper. They currently maintain their ranking at the top of the standings, and the Nuggets are still strong contenders for the championship this season.

The competition for the Eastern Conference standings is also fierce, and the rankings are also very different from the beginning of the season. Numbers 7 to 15 are the Hawks, Magic, Bulls, Bucks, Celtics, Hornets, Nets, Pacers and Wizards respectively. The Bucks have suffered a three-game losing streak in the past period, and their record has declined. The Bucks are also a team worthy of attention in the future. Of course, the focus is whether Antetokounmpo will stay or go.

The 1st to 6th places in the standings are the Pistons, Raptors, Cavaliers, Knicks, Heat and 76ers respectively. The Pistons and Raptors still continue their winning streak and maintain their position at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Traditional strong teams such as the Cavaliers and Knicks also maintain good records. The 76ers' performance so far this season is also surprising, thanks to Maxey's outstanding performance and Edgecombe's stable performance. The 76ers may have reached a critical node this season, it depends on how the management chooses.
