NBA PowerRankings January 3rd

SO another week and the top teams continue to be playing at a high level, with just the Rockets and the Spurs jockeying for position in the West.  In the East though, the Raptors continue to stay ahead of the Cavs.  Both teams have nearly identical True Shooting Rates (57.6 and 57.2 respectively), but the Raptors have been much better on the road so far.  In 4 more games, their Offensive rating is nearly 5 points higher, and their defensive ratings are pretty much identical.  The Raptors losses have also seen them shoot far better than the Cavs, who have just a 96 O Rating when they lose.  That could be a big sign of things to come if the two need to jockey for positioning in the East.
