In the latest NBA Power Rankings from Rookie Wire, the Oklahoma City Thunder dropped two spots and finished 29th overall in the league.
“The Thunder posted a big win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday but have mostly struggled as of late, losing six out of their last seven games. However, rookie Josh Giddey continues to perform well this season. He is averaging 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists and currently on pace to become just the fourth rookie in history to average those numbers, joining Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Ben Simmons.”
The Thunder went 1-2 in three games from Jan. 10 to Jan. 16. The two losses came in the hands of the Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers. The lone win came against the Brooklyn Nets, who were without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
During the week, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with scoring at 28.8 points and assist at eight a game. Darius Bazley led the team in rebounds with seven a game.
