The fifth week of the 2023-24 season is in the books and we have a fresh batch of power rankings.
The Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns stand out as the biggest winners of the week. Both went 4-0 and extended their active winning streaks to 7 games each.
Between the Magic and Suns, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Devin Booker should all receive strong consideration for Player of the Week. Both Banchero and Wagner had great performances on the offensive end while Devin Booker kept the Suns afloat without Bradley Beal for the entire week and Kevin Durant for two games. Tyrese Haliburton and Trae Young had two of the best statistical weeks relative to their averages, with a boost coming from their high-scoring game against each other.
At the bottom of the spectrum, the San Antonio Spurs, Washington Wizards, and Memphis Grizzlies lost the most games. None of these teams recorded a win and all hold three of the four worst net ratings in the league for the season.
