[ESPN] NBA实力榜：太阳势头正盛，凯尔特人排名下滑

ESPN · 2026 年1 月 14 日 14:10

By NBA insiders | ESPN, 2026-01-14 20:00:00

2026年NBA交易截止日（美国东部时间2月5日下午3点）日益临近，各支球队也已进入赛季中期，联盟的节奏开始加快。

为本赛季交易市场拉开序幕的最大牌球星当属特雷·杨 (Trae Young)，这位四届全明星球员在为亚特兰大老鹰效力八个赛季后，现已加盟华盛顿奇才。但交易市场的热潮并未就此停歇，据ESPN记者沙姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 报道，孟菲斯灰熊队的明星后卫贾·莫兰特 (Ja Morant) 已被正式摆上货架，球队正在听取交易报价。

至于实际的积分榜，东西部前六名以及附加赛资格的争夺战都值得密切关注。常规赛仅剩40余场，除了少数几支球队在榜首位置遥遥领先外，排名争夺依旧激烈。

距离交易截止日仅剩23天，常规赛也只剩下大约三个月的时间。以下是我们的NBA内部专家们对联盟30支球队的本周实力榜排名。

注：球队排名由我们的专家团（ESPN记者Anthony Slater、Dave McMenamin、Jamal Collier、Kevin Pelton、Michael C. Wright、Bobby Marks、Tim Bontemps、Tim MacMahon、Vincent Goodwill 和 Zach Kram）根据他们对各球队实力的判断得出。

往期排名：季前赛 | 10月29日 | 11月5日 | 11月12日 | 11月19日 | 11月26日 | 12月3日 | 12月10日 | 12月17日 | 12月24日 | 12月31日 | 1月7日

1. 俄克拉荷马城雷霆

2025-26赛季战绩： 34胜7负
上期排名： 1
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战火箭，1月17日客场挑战热火，1月19日客场挑战骑士

好消息：雷霆在2024年以第12顺位选中的塞尔维亚后卫尼古拉·托皮奇 (Nikola Topic) 宣布，他在完成近期一轮化疗后已经重返球场。托皮奇在常规赛开始前被诊断出患有睾丸癌，在他NBA生涯即将开启之际，却不得不暂时告别篮球。托皮奇因前交叉韧带撕裂的康复缺席了他的新秀赛季，但在10月初获准参加季前赛首秀，并在31分钟内得到10分。然而几天后，他就被确诊癌症。 – Anthony Slater

2. 底特律活塞

2025-26赛季战绩： 28胜10负
上期排名： 2
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵太阳，1月17日对阵步行者，1月19日对阵凯尔特人

伤病潮袭击了活塞队。凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 已经缺席了过去两场比赛，而杰伦·杜伦 (Jalen Duren) 和托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris) 也因伤缺阵。但底特律现在正享受着连续四天的充足休息时间，以便在周四对阵菲尼克斯太阳前恢复状态。活塞以30分的优势大胜尼克斯，这让全联盟对他们的季后赛前景感到震惊。在交易截止日前需要注意的一点是：活塞拥有一个价值1400万美元的交易特例，该特例将于7月到期——他们应该会寻求补强投射能力，并可能为坎宁安寻找一位二号得分手。如果能获得一位既能带来短期影响，又能保持未来薪资空间健康的球员，他们肯定会进行探索。 – Vincent Goodwill

3. 圣安东尼奥马刺

2025-26赛季战绩： 27胜13负
上期排名： 3
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵老鹰，1月17日对阵湖人，1月18日客场挑战国王

NBA赛季的疲劳期已经降临圣安东尼奥，由德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 组成的后场三人组在最近的比赛中举步维艰。当马刺在圣诞大战中击败俄克拉荷马城时，他们的累计飞行里程已经超过13,000英里（是当时联盟平均水平的两倍多），在34天里有26天都在客场征战，而进入一月份后，他们又迎来了连续三场的背靠背比赛。圣安东尼奥知道休息日就在眼前，但他们必须继续战斗，以保住自己在西部前列的位置。 – Michael C. Wright

4. 丹佛掘金

2025-26赛季战绩： 27胜13负
上期排名： 7
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战独行侠，1月17日对阵奇才，1月18日对阵黄蜂，1月20日对阵湖人

小蒂姆·哈达威 (Tim Hardaway Jr.) 的老将底薪合同堪称物超所值，他场均贡献13.8分，投篮命中率（46.3%）和三分命中率（41.4%）均创下生涯新高。哈达威受益于与NBA助攻王尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 的搭档，本赛季他18.7%的进球都来自约基奇的助攻。但哈达威也是掘金在约基奇缺阵期间保持竞争力的关键因素，在这位三届MVP膝盖受伤后，他场均得到16.7分，三分命中率高达42.6%。 – Tim MacMahon

5. 明尼苏达森林狼

2025-26赛季战绩： 27胜14负
上期排名： 8
未来赛程： 1月16日客场挑战火箭，1月17日客场挑战马刺，1月20日客场挑战爵士

鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 本赛季表现出色，再次成为年度最佳防守球员奖项的热门人选。但戈贝尔因恶意犯规积分累积而被禁赛一场，缺席了周二晚对阵雄鹿的比赛，并且本赛季每多累积一次恶意犯规，他都将面临更多禁赛——对于一支依赖他防守影响力的明尼苏达球队来说，这可能会成为一个问题。 – Tim Bontemps

6. 纽约尼克斯

2025-26赛季战绩： 25胜14负
上期排名： 6
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战国王，1月15日客场挑战勇士，1月17日对阵太阳，1月19日对阵独行侠

当约什·哈特 (Josh Hart) 伤愈复出时，尼克斯队松了一口气，他因圣诞节当天发生的脚踝伤势缺席了八场比赛。在他缺阵期间，尼克斯战绩为3胜5负，防守效率排名联盟倒数第三。哈特在球队以123-114战胜开拓者的比赛中贡献18分和6个篮板，这标志着球队在某种程度上回归了正轨。老板詹姆斯·多兰 (James Dolan) 上周表示，他期望这套阵容能够闯入总决赛。但有消息称，过去几周，尼克斯正在寻找一名替补大个子，并为自由球员签约的盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) 寻找下家。 – Goodwill

7. 波士顿凯尔特人

2025-26赛季战绩： 24胜15负
上期排名： 4
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战热火，1月17日客场挑战老鹰，1月19日客场挑战活塞

周六，是杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown) 在输给马刺后对裁判表达不满。周一，则是乔·马祖拉 (Joe Mazzulla) 在惜败给步行者后，用“非法掩护”来回应每一个问题。然而，结果都是一样的。现在波士顿在过去四场比赛中输掉了三场，已经从有机会确保东部第二的位置滑落到第三，而猛龙和76人正在迅速逼近。 – Bontemps

8. 菲尼克斯太阳

2025-26赛季战绩： 24胜16负
上期排名： 10
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战活塞，1月17日客场挑战尼克斯，1月19日客场挑战篮网，1月20日客场挑战 76人

菲尼克斯后卫杰伦·格林 (Jalen Green) 即将复出，他因右腿筋拉伤本赛季至今仅出战两场比赛。本周，他在回复德文·布克 (Devin Booker) 的Instagram动态时宣布了这一消息，他写道“我们就快回来了”，暗示自己即将回归。太阳队本赛季至今上演了黑马传奇，取得了24胜15负的开局（ESPN Bet在季前赛为他们设定的胜场数预测线是31.5场）。 – Dave McMenamin

9. 休斯顿火箭

2025-26赛季战绩： 23胜14负
上期排名： 5
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵雷霆，1月16日对阵森林狼，1月18日对阵鹈鹕，1月20日对阵马刺

火箭队主教练艾米·乌度卡 (Ime Udoka) 在最近一场失利后提出了一个中肯的观点，他指出球队过度依赖超级巨星前锋凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant)。“你把一个37岁的球员换下场休息[三]分钟，结果13分的领先优势就没了，被打了一波11-0。[我们]打得毫无侵略性或自信心。[我们]精神上很脆弱。” 可以说，这是乌度卡在激励队内的角色球员，比如阿门·汤普森 (Amen Thompson)、因伤缺阵三场后回归的阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun) 以及里德·谢泼德 (Reed Sheppard)。 – Wright

10. 多伦多猛龙

2025-26赛季战绩： 24胜17负
上期排名： 12
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战步行者，1月16日对阵快船，1月18日客场挑战湖人，1月20日客场挑战勇士

贾马尔·谢德 (Jamal Shead) 和科林·穆雷-博伊尔斯 (Collin Murray-Boyles) 是上周末逆转战胜费城76人比赛中出人意料的亮点。但这场胜利夹在输给波士顿和费城的两场比赛之间——这两支球队是猛龙在积分榜上最接近的对手——这进一步巩固了猛龙在东部联盟的层级地位。除非在交易截止日前有所提升，否则他们看起来只是季后赛边缘竞争者，距离联盟顶级强队仍有一步之遥。 – Zach Kram

11. 费城76人

2025-26赛季战绩： 22胜16负
上期排名： 11
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵骑士，1月16日对阵骑士，1月19日对阵步行者，1月20日对阵太阳

接下来的几周对76人来说可能至关重要，从周三开始，他们未来10场比赛中有9场是主场作战。之后，费城在最后34场比赛中将只有13个主场，这意味着现在是他们冲击东部前四的绝佳机会，也是在赛季末段大量客场比赛来临前必须把握住的一段赛程。 – Bontemps

12. 克利夫兰骑士

2025-26赛季战绩： 22胜19负
上期排名： 15
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战 76人，1月16日客场挑战 76人，1月19日对阵雷霆

骑士队刚刚在主场经历了一场令人失望的失利，输给了爵士队。在这场比赛中，他们去年交易截止日的重磅引援德安德烈·亨特 (De’Andre Hunter) 在第四节被按在了板凳上。他在17分钟内仅得2分，两项数据均为赛季新低。主教练肯尼·阿特金森 (Kenny Atkinson) 赛后表示，亨特正经历着一段长期的低迷。这导致了他七年职业生涯中最糟糕的赛季开局之一——场均13.9分，投篮命中率42.5%，这两项数据都是他新秀赛季以来的最低值，同时他的三分命中率也降至生涯最差的30%。 – Jamal Collier

13. 洛杉矶湖人

2025-26赛季战绩： 24胜14负
上期排名： 9
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵黄蜂，1月17日客场挑战开拓者，1月18日对阵猛龙，1月20日客场挑战掘金

随着JJ·雷迪克 (JJ Redick) 宣布八村垒 (Rui Hachimura) 在从右脚跟腱问题中恢复后将以替补身份复出，并受到上场时间限制，问题变成了他是否会一直担任替补。在八村垒缺阵的一月份，杰克·拉拉维亚 (Jake LaRavia) 打出了他湖人生涯中最好的一个月。在2026年的前六场比赛中——全部首发出场——拉拉维亚场均贡献13.8分、5.0个篮板和2.0次助攻，投篮命中率为51.7%，其中三分命中率达到37.8%。 – McMenamin

14. 金州勇士

2025-26赛季战绩： 22胜19负
上期排名： 16
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵尼克斯，1月17日对阵黄蜂，1月19日对阵热火，1月20日对阵猛龙

休赛期签下的德安东尼·梅尔顿 (De’Anthony Melton) 正开始牢牢占据勇士队得分后卫的位置。梅尔顿因处于前交叉韧带撕裂康复的后期阶段，缺席了赛季前六周的比赛。复出后，他严格遵守20分钟的上场时间限制，且尚未获准出战背靠背比赛。但史蒂夫·科尔 (Steve Kerr) 最近将梅尔顿的上场时间限制提高到25分钟，并经常让他在比赛收官阶段留在场上。斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 最近在梅尔顿替补砍下22分帮助球队获胜后，称他是一位“典型的”首发得分后卫。科尔表示，预计梅尔顿将被允许出场30分钟以上，一旦如此，科尔计划用满这30分钟——这表明他最终会成为首发球员。 – Slater

15. 奥兰多魔术

2025-26赛季战绩： 22胜18负
上期排名： 14
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵灰熊，1月18日对阵灰熊

魔术队将前往柏林和伦敦，与孟菲斯灰熊进行两场比赛。尽管柏林距离奥兰多有4900英里，但对于弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 和莫里茨·瓦格纳 (Moritz Wagner) 兄弟来说，这场比赛基本上就是主场作战。莫里茨在去年12月撕裂左前交叉韧带后，于周日球队战胜新奥尔良的比赛中复出，得到8分。与此同时，因左脚踝扭伤缺席16场比赛的弗朗茨也即将回归。随着上周输给费城，魔术队面对胜率超过五成的球队时战绩为10胜12负。 – Bobby Marks

16. 亚特兰大老鹰

2025-26赛季战绩： 20胜22负
上期排名： 18
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战开拓者，1月17日对阵凯尔特人，1月19日对阵雄鹿

在周二输给湖人之前，“后特雷·杨时代”的亚特兰大曾取得三连胜，其中包括在客场战胜丹佛和金州。CJ·麦科勒姆 (CJ McCollum) 和科里·基斯珀特 (Corey Kispert) 的加入应该能帮助这支饱受伤病困扰的球队。

在输给湖人的比赛中，老鹰队缺少了克里斯塔普斯·波尔津吉斯 (Kristaps Porzingis)、卢克·肯纳德 (Luke Kennard) 和扎卡里·里萨谢 (Zaccharie Risacher)，只有10名球员可以出战。一个值得关注并可能在交易截止日临近时解决的问题是前场身材不足。亚特兰大的内线失分排在联盟第八多，篮板率则排在第25位。-- Marks

17. 迈阿密热火

2025-26赛季战绩： 21胜19负
上期排名： 13
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵凯尔特人，1月17日对阵雷霆，1月19日客场挑战勇士，1月20日客场挑战国王

周二战胜菲尼克斯的比赛终结了迈阿密的三连败，而这三场失利（对阵明尼苏达、印第安纳、俄克拉荷马城）的分差都达到了两位数。在对阵太阳得到127分之前，热火自12月1日以来的进攻效率排名联盟倒数第二。而在赛季的前六周，他们排名第13。巴姆·阿德巴约 (Bam Adebayo) 的进攻产出值得关注。自12月1日以来，阿德巴约的场均得分（14.5分）在队内仅排第五，三分命中率仅为28%。 – Marks

18. 波特兰开拓者

2025-26赛季战绩： 19胜22负
上期排名： 20
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵老鹰，1月17日对阵湖人，1月18日客场挑战国王

开拓者的五连胜在周日被尼克斯终结，这是球队自2021年2月以来第二长的连胜纪录。在此期间，波特兰在圣安东尼奥取得了令人印象深刻的胜利，并在主场连续两次击败休斯顿。周日更大的损失是德尼·阿夫迪亚 (Deni Avdija)，他在比赛末段因背部酸痛离场，并缺席了周二客场对阵金州勇士的比赛。阿夫迪亚告诉记者，他对自己不会缺席太久感到乐观，他感觉在一次抢篮板落地时背部“撑不住了”。好消息是，朱·霍勒迪 (Jrue Holiday) 在周日迎来了复出，这是他自11月中旬腿筋拉伤以来的首次出场。 – Kevin Pelton

19. 洛杉矶快船

2025-26赛季战绩： 16胜23负
上期排名： 17
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵奇才，1月16日客场挑战猛龙，1月19日客场挑战奇才，1月20日客场挑战公牛

别不信，自12月中旬以来，快船队在12场比赛中赢了10场，其中包括两胜东部领头羊活塞队。三年级后卫乔丹·米勒 (Jordan Miller) 是2023年次轮末被迈阿密大学选中的球员，他在这段时间里表现亮眼。他替补出场场均14.2分钟，贡献6.2分，投篮命中率高达55.1%（三分命中率45%），为伤病缠身的快船队提供了支持，这样科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 和詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 就不必事事亲为。 – McMenamin

20. 密尔沃基雄鹿

2025-26赛季战绩： 17胜23负
上期排名： 21
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战马刺，1月19日客场挑战老鹰

自扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 伤愈复出以来，雄鹿队的战绩为5胜4负，对于一支试图摆脱巨大困境的球队来说，这个成绩还算不错，但并不突出。根据ESPN Research的数据，密尔沃基本赛季仍未取得过三连胜，是联盟中仅有的六支未能做到这一点的球队之一（步行者、黄蜂、国王、奇才和爵士）。因此，雄鹿在积分榜上仍然没有任何进展。他们又一周被困在第11名的位置，处于附加赛圈之外。 – Collier

21. 芝加哥公牛

2025-26赛季战绩： 18胜21负
上期排名： 19
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵爵士，1月16日客场挑战篮网，1月18日对阵篮网，1月20日对阵快船

马塔斯·布泽利斯 (Matas Buzelis) 已被证明是芝加哥本赛季至今最大的亮点。在约什·吉迪 (Josh Giddey) 受伤、科比·怀特 (Coby White) 在过去六场比赛中仅出战两场的情况下，布泽利斯承担了更多的得分角色并表现出色。自12月31日以来，布泽利斯场均贡献19.8分、5.8个篮板、3次助攻和1.8次盖帽，投篮命中率为47.9%。芝加哥在接下来的一周确实赛程有利，将对阵犹他爵士、布鲁克林篮网（两次）和洛杉矶快船。在周二输给火箭后，公牛队连续第四个赛季在前39场比赛后战绩为18胜21负。– Collier

22. 孟菲斯灰熊

2025-26赛季战绩： 17胜22负
上期排名： 22
未来赛程： 1月15日对阵魔术，1月18日对阵魔术

灰熊队在过去八场比赛中输掉了六场，他们希望最近传出的愿意交易明星后卫贾·莫兰特的消息不会造成太多干扰。孟菲斯在去年三月解雇了长期执教的泰勒·詹金斯 (Taylor Jenkins) 教练，并在三个月后将德斯蒙德·贝恩 (Desmond Bane) 交易至奥兰多，从而启动了球队的软重建。现在，随着灰熊开始听取对莫兰特的潜在报价，球队可能会进行彻底的阵容重组，将重心转移到培养年轻球员上，例如杰伦·威尔斯 (Jaylen Wells)、扎克·伊迪 (Zach Edey)、塞德里克·考沃德 (Cedric Coward) 和卡姆·斯潘塞 (Cam Spencer)，让他们与小贾伦·杰克逊 (Jaren Jackson Jr.) 搭档。 – Wright

23. 夏洛特黄蜂

2025-26赛季战绩： 14胜26负
上期排名： 24
未来赛程： 1月15日客场挑战湖人，1月17日客场挑战勇士，1月18日客场挑战掘金

周四，拉梅洛·鲍尔 (LaMelo Ball) 在背靠背的第二场比赛中自新秀赛季以来首次替补出场，并且表现出色，得分仅为本赛季第三次突破30分。但周六以55分大胜爵士的比赛 overshadow 了这一点，因为这是一场历史性的悬殊胜利。根据Dunc’d On Daily Duncs的统计，NBA历史上只有三支球队在单赛季胜场少于36场的情况下，能取得如此大分差的胜利。黄蜂队本赛季预计将输掉29场比赛，不过他们-0.6的净胜分现在已经优于战绩为24胜14负的湖人队。 – Pelton

24. 达拉斯独行侠

2025-26赛季战绩： 15胜25负
上期排名： 23
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵掘金，1月15日对阵爵士，1月17日对阵爵士，1月19日客场挑战尼克斯

前锋纳吉·马歇尔 (Naji Marshall) 是达拉斯这个艰难赛季中的亮点之一。他场均得到13.6分，投篮命中率54%，均为生涯新高，而在他首发的17场比赛中，他的数据提升至场均16.9分，命中率58.6%。他在持球突破方面尤其高效，突破后的投篮命中率高达60.7%。根据NBA Advanced Stats的数据，在所有突破得分排名前50的球员中，只有卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 和奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves) 的命中率比他更高。 – MacMahon

25. 犹他爵士

2025-26赛季战绩： 14胜25负
上期排名： 25
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战公牛，1月15日客场挑战独行侠，1月17日客场挑战独行侠，1月19日客场挑战马刺，1月20日对阵森林狼

劳里·马尔卡宁 (Lauri Markkanen) 能否出场，很大程度上预示着爵士队每晚的竞争力如何。自12月1日以来，当他们的明星球员在阵时，犹他爵士的战绩为8胜6负，马尔卡宁在此期间场均贡献27.9分，投篮三项命中率为.507/.383/.856。而在马尔卡宁缺阵的六场比赛中，爵士队全部告负。 – MacMahon

26. 布鲁克林篮网

2025-26赛季战绩： 11胜26负
上期排名： 26
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战鹈鹕，1月16日对阵公牛，1月18日客场挑战公牛，1月19日对阵太阳

12月的所有良好氛围似乎都已消散，篮网队自12月29日以来8战7负。在12月份拥有联盟最佳防守后，布鲁克林在一月份的防守滑落至第26位（防守效率118.8）。关于小迈克尔·波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 在二月交易截止日前是否会被交易的传闻将继续甚嚣尘上，但在这段低迷中也有一个亮点：叶戈尔·德明 (Egor Demin) 本月三分手感火热，场均出手超过6次，命中率高达53%。 – Goodwill

27. 萨克拉门托国王

2025-26赛季战绩： 10胜30负
上期排名： 28
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵尼克斯，1月16日对阵奇才，1月18日对阵开拓者，1月20日对阵热火

在被道格·克里斯蒂 (Doug Christie) 教练移出轮换很长一段时间后，替补后卫马利克·蒙克 (Malik Monk) 在过去三场比赛中重获机会，并打出了非常出色的表现。在对阵火箭和湖人的比赛中，蒙克分别出场26分钟和32分钟，得到15分和26分，帮助球队爆冷取胜。这对萨克拉门托来说可能是一个有用的时机。据联盟消息人士透露，国王队在去年夏天曾探索过蒙克的交易市场，并向勇士队提供了多种交易方案以换取乔纳森·库明加 (Jonathan Kuminga)。金州勇士一直拒绝。目前没有迹象表明情况会有所改变，但预计在交易截止日前，蒙克仍会对联盟其他球队开放交易，而最近的短暂爆发可能会略微提升他的交易价值。 – Slater

28. 印第安纳步行者

2025-26赛季战绩： 9胜31负
上期排名： 30
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵猛龙，1上月16日对阵鹈鹕，1月17日客场挑战活塞，1月19日客场挑战 76人

上周是印第安纳本赛季至今表现最好的一周，他们接连战胜了夏洛特、迈阿密（净胜24分）和波士顿（将对手得分限制在本赛季首次低于100分）。安德鲁·内姆哈德 (Andrew Nembhard) 和帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆 (Pascal Siakam) 在这段时间里场均都得到21分，而年轻球员贾雷斯·沃克 (Jarace Walker) 和约翰尼·弗菲 (Johnny Furphy) 也做出了积极贡献。出色的三分球命中率也功不可没，印第安纳已经连续六场比赛的三分命中率至少达到40%。 – Kram

29. 华盛顿奇才

2025-26赛季战绩： 10胜28负
上期排名： 27
未来赛程： 1月14日客场挑战快船，1月16日客场挑战国王，1月17日客场挑战掘金，1月19日对阵快船

尽管特雷·杨上周通过交易加盟了奇才，但别指望他能很快为华盛顿出战。这位四届全明星球员因腿伤仍在休养，ESPN记者马克·斯皮尔斯 (Marc Spears) 报道称，奇才队尚未确定他的回归时间表。考虑到奇才队近来出人意料地具有竞争力——在3胜20负的开局后取得了7胜8负的战绩——并且他们专注于确保在2026年选秀中保住自己前八顺位保护的选秀权，球队有理由让杨再休养一段时间。 – Kram

30. 新奥尔良鹈鹕

2025-26赛季战绩： 9胜33负
上期排名： 29
未来赛程： 1月14日对阵篮网，1月16日客场挑战步行者，1月18日客场挑战火箭

鹈鹕队在周五终结了本赛季第二次九连败，对手是缺少新援特雷·杨的华盛顿奇才队。特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III) 和锡安·威廉姆森 (Zion Williamson) 均得到30+得分，德里克·奎恩 (Derik Queen) 更是在家乡球队面前拿下了三双。周日在奥兰多的失利中，新奥尔良再次展现了竞争力，但他们依然以仅9场胜利跌至联盟垫底。赛程过半，但鹈鹕的赛程一直相当艰难。自圣诞节以来，奇才队是他们交手过的唯一一支目前排名在附加赛区之外的球队。 – Pelton

NBA Power Rankings: Suns on the rise, Celtics backslide

The 2026 NBA trade deadline is right around the corner (Feb. 5, 3 p.m. ET) and teams are hitting the midseason mark as the pace is starting to pick up around the league.

The biggest name to kick off this trade season was Trae Young, as the four-time All-Star is now a Washington Wizard after eight seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. But the trade buzz doesn’t stop there, as Ja Morant, star guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is officially available as the team is entertaining trade offers, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

As for the actual standings, keep your eyes on the race for the top six seeds and the play-in in both conferences, as teams have just over 40 games left in the regular season and only a few clear runaways for the top spots.

With 23 days left until the trade deadline and just about three months left in the regular season, here are where our NBA insiders rank all 30 teams in this week’s power rankings.

Note: Team rankings are based on where members of our panel (ESPN’s Anthony Slater, Dave McMenamin, Jamal Collier, Kevin Pelton, Michael C. Wright, Bobby Marks, Tim Bontemps, Tim MacMahon, Vincent Goodwill and Zach Kram) think teams belong.

Previous rankings: Preseason | Oct. 29 | Nov. 5 | Nov. 12 | Nov. 19 | Nov. 26 | Dec. 3 | Dec. 10 | Dec. 17 | Dec. 24 | Dec. 31 | Jan. 7

1. Oklahoma City Thunder

2025-26 record: 34-7
Previous ranking: 1
Next games: @ HOU (Jan. 15), @ MIA (Jan. 17), @ CLE (Jan. 19)

Positive news: Nikola Topic, the Serbian guard drafted No. 12 by the Thunder in 2024, announced that he’s back on the court after completing a recent round of chemotherapy treatment. Topic was diagnosed with testicular cancer just before the regular season, stepping away from basketball right when it appeared his NBA career was about to begin. Topic sat out his rookie season rehabbing an ACL tear but had been cleared for his preseason debut in early October, scoring 10 points in 31 minutes. Days later, the cancer diagnosis was announced. – Anthony Slater

2. Detroit Pistons

2025-26 record: 28-10
Previous ranking: 2
Next games: vs. PHX (Jan. 15), vs. IND (Jan. 17), vs. BOS (Jan. 19)

The injury bug has hit the Pistons. Cade Cunningham has sat out the past two games, and Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris were out because of injuries. But Detroit is now riding a robust four straight days off to recover before playing Phoenix on Thursday. The Pistons’ 30-point beatdown of the Knicks sent shockwaves around the league about their postseason prospects. Important to note before the deadline: The Pistons have a $14 million trade exception they can use before it expires in July – they should be looking for shooting help and perhaps a secondary scorer next to Cunningham. If there’s a short-term impact player they can acquire who can keep their books in order for the future, they will certainly explore it. – Vincent Goodwill

3. San Antonio Spurs

2025-26 record: 27-13
Previous ranking: 3
Next games: vs. ATL (Jan. 15), vs. LAL (Jan. 17), @ SAC (Jan. 18)

The dog days of the NBA season have fallen upon San Antonio and its trio of guards in De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and rookie Dylan Harper, who have struggled in recent games. When the Spurs defeated Oklahoma City on Christmas Day, they had already traveled more than 13,000 miles (more than twice the leaguewide average at that point), spending 26 of 34 days on the road, only to start January with three consecutive back-to-back sets. San Antonio knows a break is on the horizon, but it must continue to fight to maintain its standing near the top of the West. – Michael C. Wright

4. Denver Nuggets

2025-26 record: 27-13
Previous ranking: 7
Next games: @ DAL (Jan. 14), vs. WAS (Jan. 17), vs. CHA (Jan. 18), vs. LAL (Jan. 20)

Tim Hardaway Jr. has been a tremendous bargain on a veteran’s minimum deal, averaging 13.8 points while shooting career bests of 46.3% from the field and 41.4% from 3-point range. Hardaway has benefited from playing with NBA assists leader Nikola Jokic, who has fed Hardaway on 18.7% of his buckets this season. But Hardaway has also been a huge factor in the Nuggets remaining competitive during Jokic’s absence, averaging 16.7 points and shooting 42.6% on 3s since the three-time MVP injured his knee. – Tim MacMahon

5. Minnesota Timberwolves

2025-26 record: 27-14
Previous ranking: 8
Next games: @ HOU (Jan. 16), @ SA (Jan. 17), @ UTAH (Jan. 20)

Rudy Gobert is having a great season and is once again making himself a contender to finish high in Defensive Player of the Year voting. But Gobert sat out Tuesday night’s game against the Bucks because of a one-game suspension for flagrant foul points, and will sit out more time this season for suspensions for every additional flagrant foul he accrues – something that could become a problem for a Minnesota team that relies on his defensive impact. – Tim Bontemps

6. New York Knicks

2025-26 record: 25-14
Previous ranking: 6
Next games: @ SAC (Jan. 14), @ GS (Jan. 15), vs. PHX (Jan. 17), vs. DAL (Jan. 19)

The Knicks were relieved when they welcomed back Josh Hart after he sat out eight games because of an ankle injury that occurred on Christmas Day. During his absence, the Knicks went 3-5 and sported the third-worst defensive rating. Hart’s 18 points and six rebounds in their 123-114 win over Portland signaled a return to normalcy – somewhat. Owner James Dolan stated last week that he expects a Finals run with this roster. But over the past few weeks, sources say the Knicks are looking for a backup big and takers for free agent signing Guerschon Yabusele. – Goodwill

7. Boston Celtics

2025-26 record: 24-15
Previous ranking: 4
Next games: @ MIA (Jan. 15), @ ATL (Jan. 17), @ DET (Jan. 19)

On Saturday, it was Jaylen Brown expressing frustration with the referees after losing to the Spurs. On Monday, it was Joe Mazzulla just repeating “illegal screen” in response to every question after a close loss to the Pacers. The result, though, is the same. And now Boston has dropped three of its past four games and has gone from having a chance to secure second place in the East to being in third, with the Raptors and Sixers closing in quickly. – Bontemps

8. Phoenix Suns

2025-26 record: 24-16
Previous ranking: 10
Next games: @ DET (Jan. 15), @ NYK (Jan. 17), @ BKN (Jan. 19), @ PHI (Jan. 20)

Phoenix guard Jalen Green, who has been limited to only two games all season because of a right hamstring strain, is nearing a return. He announced as much while replying to Devin Booker’s Instagram story this week, writing “we right there” in regard to his comeback. The Suns have been a Cinderella story so far, starting the season 24-15 (ESPN Bet set their over/under win total at 31.5 in the preseason). – Dave McMenamin

9. Houston Rockets

2025-26 record: 23-14
Previous ranking: 5
Next games: vs. OKC (Jan. 15), vs. MIN (Jan. 16), vs. NO (Jan. 18), vs. SA (Jan. 20)

Rockets coach Ime Udoka made a salient point after a recent loss, pointing out the team’s overreliance on superstar forward Kevin Durant. “You take a 37-year-old out of the game for [three] minutes, and you lose a 13-point lead, 11-0 run. [We] don’t play with any aggression or confidence. [We were] mentally weak.” Call that Udoka’s way of lighting a fire under supporting cast players such as Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun, who is back in the lineup after a three-game absence, along with Reed Sheppard. – Wright

10. Toronto Raptors

2025-26 record: 24-17
Previous ranking: 12
Next games: @ IND (Jan. 14), vs. LAC (Jan. 16), @ LAL (Jan. 18), @ GSW (Jan. 20)

Jamal Shead and Collin Murray-Boyles were the surprise standouts over the weekend in a comeback win over Philadelphia. But that victory was sandwiched between losses to Boston and Philadelphia – the two teams closest to Toronto in the standings – which helped reaffirm the Raptors’ place in the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Barring an improvement before the trade deadline, they profile as fringe contenders but still a step below the conference’s top teams. – Zach Kram

11. Philadelphia 76ers

2025-26 record: 22-16
Previous ranking: 11
Next games: vs. CLE (Jan. 14), vs. CLE (Jan. 16), vs. IND (Jan. 19), vs. PHX (Jan. 20)

The next couple of weeks could be pivotal for the 76ers, who play nine of their next 10 games at home beginning Wednesday. Philadelphia will then have only 13 of its final 34 games at home after that, meaning this is an opportunity to try to pull into the top four in the East and is a necessary stretch to capitalize on before spending a lot of time away from home late in the season. – Bontemps

12. Cleveland Cavaliers

2025-26 record: 22-19
Previous ranking: 15
Next games: @ PHI (Jan. 14), @ PHI (Jan. 16), vs. OKC (Jan. 19)

The Cavs are coming off a disappointing loss to the Jazz at home, where De’Andre Hunter, their prized acquisition from last year’s trade deadline, was benched for the fourth quarter. He scored two points in 17 minutes, both season lows, and coach Kenny Atkinson said after the game that Hunter was going through a prolonged slump. It has resulted in one of the worst starts to a season in his seven-year career – averaging 13.9 points on 42.5% shooting, both his lowest marks since his rookie season, while shooting a career-worst 30% from 3. – Jamal Collier

13. Los Angeles Lakers

2025-26 record: 24-14
Previous ranking: 9
Next games: vs. CHA (Jan. 15), @ POR (Jan. 17), vs. TOR (Jan. 18), @ DEN (Jan. 20)

With JJ Redick declaring that Rui Hachimura will come off the bench upon his return from a right Achilles issue, wading back into action on a minutes restriction, the question is whether he’ll stay there. Jake LaRavia has enjoyed his best month as a Laker in January with Hachimura out. In his first six games of 2026 – all as a starter – LaRavia averaged 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 51.7%, including 37.8% from 3. – McMenamin

14. Golden State Warriors

2025-26 record: 22-19
Previous ranking: 16
Next games: vs. NYK (Jan. 15), vs. CHA (Jan. 17), vs. MIA (Jan. 19), vs. TOR (Jan. 20)

Offseason signing De’Anthony Melton is beginning to take a firm grip of the Warriors’ shooting guard position. Melton sat out the first six weeks of the season while completing the later stages of his ACL rehab. He was on a strict 20-minute limit upon his return and hasn’t been cleared for back-to-backs. But Steve Kerr recently bumped Melton’s limit up to 25 minutes and has been regularly closing games with him on the court. Stephen Curry recently called Melton a “prototypical” starting shooting guard after he had 22 bench points in a win. Kerr said the expectation is Melton will get cleared for 30-plus minutes and, once he does, Kerr said he planned to use all 30 – an indication that he will be the eventual starter. – Slater

15. Orlando Magic

2025-26 record: 22-18
Previous ranking: 14
Next games: vs. MEM (Jan. 15), vs. MEM (Jan. 18)

The Magic head to Berlin and London for a pair of games against Memphis, and although Berlin is 4,900 miles from Orlando, the game is essentially home for brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner. After tearing his left ACL last December, Moritz returned in the team’s win Sunday against New Orleans, scoring eight points. Meanwhile, after sitting out 16 games because of a sprained left ankle, Franz is nearing a return. With its loss to Philadelphia last week, Orlando is now 10-12 against teams above .500. – Bobby Marks

16. Atlanta Hawks

2025-26 record: 20-22
Previous ranking: 18
Next games: @ POR (Jan. 15), vs. BOS (Jan. 17), vs. MIL (Jan. 19)

Before losing Tuesday against the Lakers, the post-Trae Young era had seen Atlanta win three straight games, including victories over Denver and Golden State on the road. The addition of CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert should help a roster that has been hit hard with injuries.

In the Lakers loss, the Hawks were without Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kennard, Zaccharie Risacher and had just 10 active players. An area of concern that could get addressed closer to the trade deadline is a lack of size in the frontcourt. Atlanta has allowed the eighth-most points in the paint and rank 25th in rebounding percentage. – Marks

17. Miami Heat

2025-26 record: 21-19
Previous ranking: 13
Next games: vs. BOS (Jan. 15), vs. OKC (Jan. 17), @ GS (Jan. 19), @ SAC (Jan. 20)

Tuesday’s win against Phoenix ended a three-game losing streak for Miami, and all three of those losses (Minnesota, Indiana, Oklahoma City) were by double digits. Before scoring 127 against the Suns, the Heat ranked second to last in offensive efficiency since Dec. 1. They ranked 13th in the first six weeks of the season. Bam Adebayo’s offensive production is worth watching. Since Dec. 1, Adebayo has ranked fifth on the team in scoring (14.5) and is shooting 28% on 3-pointers. – Marks

18. Portland Trail Blazers

2025-26 record: 19-22
Previous ranking: 20
Next games: vs. ATL (Jan. 15), vs. LAL (Jan. 17), @ SAC (Jan. 18)

The Blazers’ five-game winning streak, which was ended Sunday by the Knicks, was the team’s second longest since February 2021. During the run, Portland produced impressive wins at San Antonio and back-to-back at home against Houston. The bigger loss Sunday was Deni Avdija, who left late in the game because of back soreness and was sidelined Tuesday at Golden State. Avdija told reporters he was optimistic that he won’t miss long after feeling his back “give up on me” while landing on the rebound. On the plus side, Jrue Holiday played Sunday for the first time since suffering a hamstring strain in mid-November. – Kevin Pelton

19. LA Clippers

2025-26 record: 16-23
Previous ranking: 17
Next games: vs. WAS (Jan. 14), @ TOR (Jan. 16), @ WAS (Jan. 19), @ CHI (Jan. 20)

Don’t look now, but the Clippers have won 10 out of 12 games since mid-December, including two against the East-leading Pistons. Third-year guard Jordan Miller, a 2023 late second-round pick out of the University of Miami, has been a bright spot during that stretch. He has averaged 6.2 points on 55.1% shooting (45% from 3) in 14.2 minutes off the bench, giving the injury-riddled Clips a lift so Kawhi Leonard and James Harden don’t have to do everything. – McMenamin

20. Milwaukee Bucks

2025-26 record: 17-23
Previous ranking: 21
Next games: @ SA (Jan. 15), @ ATL (Jan. 19)

Since Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from injury, the Bucks are 5-4, a solid but unspectacular mark for a team trying to dig itself out of a massive hole. Milwaukee still hasn’t recorded a three-game winning streak this season, one of only six teams in the league (Pacers, Hornets, Kings, Wizards and Jazz) that have failed to do so, according to ESPN Research. And as a result, the Bucks still haven’t gained any ground in the standings. They begin another week stuck in 11th place and outside of the play-in tournament. – Collier

21. Chicago Bulls

2025-26 record: 18-21
Previous ranking: 19
Next games: vs. UTAH (Jan. 14), @ BKN (Jan. 16), vs. BKN (Jan. 18), vs. LAC (Jan. 20)

Matas Buzelis has proved to be Chicago’s biggest bright spot so far this season. With Josh Giddey injured and Coby White playing in only two of the past six games, Buzelis has stepped into more of a scoring role and flourished. Since Dec. 31, Buzelis is averaging 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.8 blocks on 47.9% shooting. Chicago does have a favorable schedule over the next week, with games against Utah, Brooklyn (twice) and the Clippers. After their loss against the Rockets on Tuesday, the Bulls have now been 18-21 through 39 games for the fourth consecutive season.– Collier

22. Memphis Grizzlies

2025-26 record: 17-22
Previous ranking: 22
Next games: vs. ORL (Jan. 15), vs. ORL (Jan. 18)

Losers in six of their plast eight games, the Grizzlies are hoping recent news of their willingness to trade star guard Ja Morant won’t cause too much of a distraction. Memphis initiated a soft reset of the franchise last March when it fired longtime coach Taylor Jenkins and traded Desmond Bane three months later to Orlando. And with the Grizzlies now entertaining potential offers for Morant, a full roster teardown could be on the menu with the team shifting its focus to developing younger players such as Jaylen Wells, Zach Edey, Cedric Coward and Cam Spencer to play alongside Jaren Jackson Jr.. – Wright

23. Charlotte Hornets

2025-26 record: 14-26
Previous ranking: 24
Next games: @ LAL (Jan. 15), @ GS (Jan. 17), @ DEN (Jan. 18)

On Thursday, LaMelo Ball came off the bench for the first time since his rookie season in the second game of a back-to-back and responded well, topping 30 points for only the third time all season. But Saturday’s 55-point blowout win over the Jazz overshadowed that, as it was a historically lopsided outcome. Per the Dunc’d On Daily Duncs, only three teams in NBA history have won by so many points in a season in which they won fewer than 36 games. The Hornets are on pace for 29 losses, though their minus-0.6 point differential is now better than the 24-14 Lakers. – Pelton

24. Dallas Mavericks

2025-26 record: 15-25
Previous ranking: 23
Next games: vs. DEN (Jan. 14), vs. UTAH (Jan. 15), vs. UTAH (Jan. 17), @ NYK (Jan. 19)

Forward Naji Marshall has been one of the bright spots of a difficult season in Dallas. He’s averaging career bests of 13.6 points and 54% shooting, and his production has increased to 16.9 points on 58.6% shooting in his 17 starts. He has been especially productive attacking off the dribble, shooting 60.7% off of drives. According to NBA Advanced Stats, only Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have a higher field goal percentage among the players who rank in the top 50 in points off of drives. – MacMahon

25. Utah Jazz

2025-26 record: 14-25
Previous ranking: 25
Next games: @ CHI (Jan. 14), @ DAL (Jan. 15), @ DAL (Jan. 17), @ SA (Jan. 19), vs. MIN (Jan. 20)

Lauri Markkanen’s availability is a pretty strong indication of how competitive the Jazz will be on a night-to-night basis. Utah is 8-6 with its star in the lineup since Dec. 1, and Markkanen is averaging 27.9 points on .507/.383/.856 shooting splits in that span. The Jazz lost all six games that Markkanen sat out. – MacMahon

26. Brooklyn Nets

2025-26 record: 11-26
Previous ranking: 26
Next games: @ NO (Jan. 14), vs. CHI (Jan. 16), @ CHI (Jan. 18), vs. PHX (Jan. 19)

All of the good vibes from December seem to have dissipated for the Nets, who have lost seven of eight since Dec. 29. After being the best defense in December, Brooklyn slipped to 26th in January (118.8 defensive rating). The rumors will continue to swirl around Michael Porter Jr’s availability before February’s trade deadline, but there’s a bright spot amid the slide: Egor Demin has been hot from 3-point range this month, shooting 53% on over six attempts a game. – Goodwill

27. Sacramento Kings

2025-26 record: 10-30
Previous ranking: 28
Next games: vs. NYK (Jan. 14), vs. WAS (Jan. 16), vs. POR (Jan. 18), vs. MIA (Jan. 20)

After an extended stretch outside Doug Christie’s rotation, reserve guard Malik Monk has reappeared in the past three games and produced to a great degree. Monk played 26 and 32 minutes against the Rockets and Lakers, respectively, scoring 15 and 26 points in a pair of surprising upset wins. This is happening at a potentially useful time for Sacramento. The Kings explored Monk’s trade market this past summer and offered him to the Warriors in a variety of constructions for Jonathan Kuminga, league sources said. Golden State has continually declined. There’s no indication that will change, but Monk is expected to remain available to the rest of the league in the lead-up to the deadline, and this recent mini-surge could provide a tiny boost to his value. – Slater

28. Indiana Pacers

2025-26 record: 9-31
Previous ranking: 30
Next games: vs. TOR (Jan. 14), vs. NO (Jan. 16), @ DET (Jan. 17), @ PHI (Jan. 19)

Last week was the best of Indiana’s season so far, with wins over Charlotte, Miami (by 24 points) and Boston (holding them under 100 points for the first time this season). Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam both averaged 21 points in that stretch, while youngsters Jarace Walker and Johnny Furphy also added positive contributions. Excellent 3-point shooting helped as well, as Indiana has made at least 40% of its 3s in six games in a row. – Kram

29. Washington Wizards

2025-26 record: 10-28
Previous ranking: 27
Next games: @ LAC (Jan. 14), @ SAC (Jan. 16), @ DEN (Jan. 17), vs. LAC (Jan. 19)

Don’t expect Trae Young to play for Washington anytime soon, despite joining the Wizards in a trade last week. The four-time All-Star remains sidelined because of a leg injury, and ESPN’s Marc Spears reported that the Wizards don’t yet have a return timeline scheduled. Given that the Wizards have been surprisingly competitive of late – with a 7-8 record since a 3-20 start – and are focused on ensuring they keep their top-eight-protected pick in the 2026 draft, there’s an incentive to keep Young out a while longer. – Kram

30. New Orleans Pelicans

2025-26 record: 9-33
Previous ranking: 29
Next games: vs. BKN (Jan. 14), @ IND (Jan. 16), @ HOU (Jan. 18)

The Pelicans ended their second nine-game losing streak of the season Friday against a Washington team playing without newly acquired Trae Young, getting 30-plus points from both Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson, plus a triple-double from Derik Queen against his hometown team. New Orleans was competitive again in a loss Sunday at Orlando but has still sunk to the bottom of the NBA standings with just nine wins at the midpoint of a schedule that has done the Pelicans no favors. The Wizards were the only team New Orleans has played since Christmas that is currently outside the play-in. – Pelton
