5. Philadelphia 76ers

Last Week’s Ranking: 3 

The number of Sixers in the health and safety protocols has put the team in a very difficult position. Philadelphia only suited up eight players in its loss to Denver. That was the NBA’s minimum requirement needed to play the game.

Before all the COVID-related absences, the Sixers lost their chance at the No. 1 spot in this week’s rankings. As good as they have been, their blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who were without both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, had to push them down a bit. 

With that said, the Sixers are a top-five team. Danny Green came on strong last week. He shot 46.4 percent from three to bring his percentage up to 37.7 percent for the season. 

A 7-3 record with a 4.1 net rating is a great start for the Sixers. Hopefully they can get back to relatively full strength soon
