NBA Power Rankings: Bucks hold on to top spot but 76ers, Celtics close

23.03.2023 - 18:07 nbcsports.com

Not much movement at the top of the NBC Sports NBA Power Rankings this week as teams racked up wins as they jockeyed for playoff seeding.

A few teams, such as Miami, are climbing. 1. Bucks (51-20, Last week No. 1). If you believe the MVP should be the best player from the best team, then Giannis Antetokounmpo is your guy — and he has been gaining support in recent weeks (helped in part by the Nuggets’ slide).

Antetokounmpo himself is less focused on that award and more on securing the No.1 seed in the East and its easier path through the playoffs.

The Bucks have a cushion (three games in the loss column over the 76ers and Celtics) and just have to hold on to it through the four-game road trip that starts Friday in Utah.
