NBA Power Rankings: Milwaukee Bucks reclaim top spot after Week 5

Last week: Won at Brooklyn 115-86, beat Orlando 111-106

This week: Monday vs. Memphis, Wednesday vs. Utah, Friday vs. Atlanta, Saturday at Philadelphia

After a two-game slate last week that included a rare stretch of four consecutive off days, the Indiana Pacers will pick up the … ahem … pace this week, finishing out a four-game homestand and playing a back-to-back to close the week out.

Indiana got itself straightened around Monday with its second dominant win at Brooklyn this season and returned home to top the short-handed Magic. The Pacers have won their last two games, six of their last eight and are 9-3 since opening the season with three consecutive losses.

It was a strong week for the lesser-heralded Holiday brother. Justin Holiday, the oldest of the three brothers currently in the NBA, came into the league an undrafted free agent. Brothers Jrue Holiday and Aaron Holiday — also with the Pacers — were each taken in the first round.

Holiday had a strong overall performance off the bench against Orlando, scoring 12 points with six assists, three rebounds and two steals after dropping 20 points as a starter at Brooklyn. For the week, Holiday scored 32 points with eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals in 57 minutes, shooting 9-for-16 overall and draining a strong 6-of-9 from 3-point range.

Last week: Beat Charlotte 132-96, beat Orlando 113-97, won at Atlanta 119-116

This week: Monday vs. Philadelphia, Wednesday vs. New York, Friday at Orlando

Don’t look now, but the defending champion Toronto Raptors have climbed back into the top 10, winning three straight games last week to move to 5-2 since point guard Kyle Lowry fractured his left thumb.

The Raptors rocked the Hornets and Magic at home before eking out a narrow victory at Atlanta on Saturday night, a game during which burgeoning star Pascal Siakam provided much of the offensive punch.

Siakam had 34 points — his sixth game already this season with at least 30 points after only reaching that mark five times, all last season — over his first three NBA seasons.

For the week, Siakam was solid, averaging 24.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 36.5 minutes per game, shooting 50 percent overall and draining 8-of-16 from 3-point range.
