2020 Basketball Dynasty 26 Power Rankings - Week 3
1.
Minnesota Timberwolves (5-0) - Minnesota continues to dominate with ANOTHER 1000 point week.
2.
New Orleans Pelicans (3-2) - Eked out a 1-1 week with a 0.5 point win against the Bulls. Will Westbrook's quad be an issue all year?
3.
Boston Celtics (4-1) - With KAT back, this team is going to be scary to go up against. If Diallo keeps up his recent streak, call it a wrap in the east.
4.
Milwaukee Bucks (3-2) - Lamelooooooooooooooo
5.
Golden State Warriors (3-2) - Nick Nurse finally came to his senses and unleashed Boucher. There are rumors that Caleb is moving him soon, but will Boucher play well enough to change his mind?
6.
Los Angeles Clippers (4-1) - Top 4 in games played in week 3, but bottom half of the league in fantasy points per game. Mitchell Robinson looks for real under Thibs.
7.
Cleveland Cavaliers (4-1) - Going to be honest - Middleton felt like an overpay even with him playing the best basketball of his career. However, this gives Cleveland one of the nastiest big 3s in the league.
8.
Brooklyn Nets (2-3) - Derrick White is out AGAIN. This team is #1 in FP/G, but you'd like to see some better injury luck.
9.
Chicago Bulls (3-2) - Chuck added some depth with JJJ and Sexton, but lost his best player in Middleton. Really like this team's potential if JJJ can find his stride when he's back.
10.
Los Angeles Lakers (5-0) - I don't love Joe Harris's value once Harden arrives in Brooklyn, but a 5-0 start can't be ignored.
11.
Miami Heat (3-2) - Thanks to improved play from Lonnie Walker and Deandre Hunter, this team is staying afloat as they await Ja's return.
12.
Charlotte Hornets (5-0) - Stays undefeated with an impressive 822 point week. With Harden gone, Wall could see a boost in production.
13.
Orlando Magic (4-1) - Brutal injury to Fultz puts a damper on an otherwise fantastic start to the year for Orlando.
14.
New York Knicks (4-1) - Love the Oubre acquisition. With his last few moves, you can tell Jsood is starting to get the hang of things in New York.
15.
Atlanta Hawks (4-1) - I don't love the Rubio trade, but Trey is gonna Trey.
16.
Oklahoma City Thunder (3-2) - Nurk continues to play himself into shape. Unfortunately, Baynes seems to have fallen out of the rotation in Toronto.
17.
Toronto Raptors (2-3) - 0-2 week as the injury/COVID bug has hit this team relatively hard.
18.
Sacramento Kings (2-3) - Pritchard looks like one of the steals of the draft thus far.
19.
Washington Wizards (4-1) - Just like the Fultz injury in Orlando, Bryant's injury in Washington is brutal as he's been a big part of this team's great start.
20.
Utah Jazz (2-3) - Time to give Teej some respect. Don't know if anyone took this team seriously before the year, but TJ has proven to be a hard out for any team.
21.
Portland Trailblazers (0-5) - Uh oh...panic time in Portland?
22.
Dallas Mavericks (0-5) - What looked like a season where Dallas could make some noise with young players has turned into a winless start through 3 weeks in large part due to injuries/COVID issues.
23.
Denver Nuggets (0-5) - After the trade of Duncan Robinson to Miami, will Kev look to sell some other pieces to competitors?
24.
Detroit Pistons (2-3) - Kind of lame to see Kawhi and Mikal wasting away on a rebuilding team, but they're balling out.
25.
Phoenix Suns (2-3) - Wonder how Jarrett Allen will perform now that he's in Cleveland with Andre Drummond.
26.
Philadelphia 76ers (1-4)
27.
Houston Rockets (0-5) - Love the Lavine pickup.
28.
Memphis Grizzlies (1-4)
29.
Indiana Pacers (0-5)
30.
San Antonio Spurs (0-5)
