NBA power rankings roundup: Thunder see some downward, some upward movement

Three national NBA power rankings moved the OKC Thunder down, but one held them steady and another pushed them up a spot this past week.

On the back of consecutive awful losses, the Oklahoma City Thunder dropped in three of the five national power rankings we aggregate each week.

The Thunder’s week was salvaged by the win over the Toronto Raptors, but with a 21-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks to start the week and then a 37-point defeat to the Phoenix Suns and a 48-point beatdown by the Portland Trail Blazers to end it, there weren’t many positives for the Thunder. (The five power rankings were published before the loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday).

Well, if there was one positive, Oklahoma City slipped down the standings and closer to better lottery odds.

Here are the outlets’ power rankings.
