The regular season is off and running in the NBA, and there has already been plenty of movement among teams in the standings through the first seven-plus games.
The Denver Nuggets, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves have emerged as three of the hottest teams in the league over the past week, while others have seemingly hit a wall and are moving in the opposite direction.
The rise of those teams has created plenty of change in the latest edition of our power rankings. With that trio climbing, other teams have dropped from their spots in the initial regular-season rankings released last week.
To make further sense of it all, Rookie Wire looked at the NBA and ranked each team from worst to first. We will return each week and provide our latest assessment of the best teams and those that are rising.
