NBA power rankings roundup: Can the Thunder fall below the Timberwolves?

Can the Oklahoma City Thunder catch the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA draft lottery odds? That’s what power rankers are asking.

Since the last release of the Monday morning power rankings, the Thunder are 1-4, with a win over the Celtics and losses to the Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, Indiana Pacers and Suns.

Here are the Monday power rankings from the five national outlets. Each was released Monday morning, so games from that night are not included.
