2017-18 NBA Power Rankings: Celtics, Cavaliers feeling thankful in Week 6

In Week 6 of NBA Power Rankings, we go over what every team has to be thankful for, especially the streaking Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.

With 16 straight wins, including their headliner victory against the mighty Golden State Warriors, the Boston Celtics have proven themselves as the best team in the NBA through the first month of the 2017-18 season.

Thanks to five consecutive wins for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their greatest opponent in the East is also starting to look more like the team they were originally billed to be. Despite all the talk about about weak their conference is, the East is well-represented on the higher end of the spectrum in Week 6 of NBA Power Rankings.

The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are the elite teams out West, but we’ve already seen plenty of surprises spring up around the league. In that spirit, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we decided to wait a few days for a holiday edition of NBA Power Rankings as we go over what each team has to be thankful for.

Not every team was easy, but here’s a look at the last week and a half around the association, what each team should be happy about and where every squad stacks up in Week 6.
