Week 7 NBA power rankings: 23. Toronto Raptors (10-13)
Rank last week: 23rd
Record this past week: 1-2
This is where the teams begin to go from the bottom of the barrel to those who actually have a chance at the play-in. The Toronto Raptors haven’t been great, but they haven’t been awful, either.
Their three-headed monster of Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes, and Pascal Siakam has been leading the way as they attempt to fight through injuries to OG Anunoby and Khem Birch.
Week 7 NBA power rankings: 22. Sacramento Kings (10-14)
Rank last week: 24th
