Recap Week 17 of the 2022-23 NBA Season

Power Rankings

These are the only NBA rankings based on strength of schedule. It’s math, so you can’t be mad! You beat a good team at home, you get points. You beat a good team on the road and you get more points. The most points possible are if you beat a contending team on their home court. The least amount of points are given when you lose to a bad team on your home court.

You can find the rankings for the Western conference here and the Eastern conference here. Overall rankings are only available here! Where does your team land after week number 17?
