NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder Knocked from Top Spot
After the NBA blessed us with a loaded slate of Christmas Day games, we're heading into the middle third of the season with a clearer picture of who the real contenders are.
This week specifically, it's fair to say the San Antonio Spurs have joined that group. They're now 3-0 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and (spoiler alert) have a legitimate argument for our top spot in the power rankings.
They're not the only ones on the move, though. This edition gives us some pretty dramatic shifts in both directions.
Thanks to the same criteria we've used for years (team and individual numbers, recent performance, championship chances and plenty of subjectivity), we sort through all of it below.
30. Washington Wizards (5-23)
1 of 30
Previous Rank: 30
Net Rating: -13.7
The Washington Wizards got a win this week! And then they dropped two in a row to maintain their long-running spot at the bottom of this list.
But even as the losses pile up, Washington continues to sprinkle pleasant little surprises along its not-so-merry way to the worst record in the NBA.
Perhaps chief among those is 26-year-old Marvin Bagley III, who was drafted ahead of Luka Dončić before floating around the league for most of the last decade.
In Tuesday's loss, he had 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting in 21 minutes, bringing his average for the season to 10.2 points in just 19.5 minutes per game. His shot selection has been better with the Wizards than at any other point in his career. He's been a bit more dependable on defense, and he's doubled up last season's assist percentage.
No one will mistake him for a bona fide point forward any time soon, but Bagley is changing perceptions about him, could maybe generate some trade interest ahead of February's deadline and might still be young enough to stick around Washington's young core for a while too.
29. Sacramento Kings (7-23)
2 of 30
Previous Rank: 29
Net Rating: -10.0
It's easy to devote this space to picking apart the Sacramento Kings, but let's give them a break.
Even as the losses keep rolling in and Sacramento maintains its hold on the second worst net rating in the league, it's getting some glimmers of hope from one of the younger players on the roster.
In the absence of the injured Domantas Sabonis, rookie Maxime Raynaud has started building his All-Rookie case. In December, he is putting up 15.4 points and 9.2 rebounds in 30.1 minutes.
He's suddenly looking like a viable option at the 5, in the event Sacramento moves Sabonis and leans into a rebuild.
28. Indiana Pacers (6-24)
3 of 30
Previous Rank: 24
Net Rating: -8.3
The Indiana Pacers had a little 4-2 stretch in late November and early December that kindled a little hope for a play-in bid, but that has to be dashed now.
They've lost three straight since then and now have the third-worst net rating in the NBA. Even with Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin all in action now, it's clear this group just doesn't run without its engine, Tyrese Haliburton.
But in the long run, all the losing is almost certainly a good thing. If it results in the top overall pick for Indiana, it'll have the chance to pair Haliburton with one of AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer or Darryn Peterson.
This gap year could prove incredibly valuable for the Pacers.
27. Utah Jazz (10-19)
4 of 30
Previous Rank: 20
Net Rating: -7.3
The Utah Jazz have dropped their last four games, and fans hoping for a superstar in the draft have to be encouraged.
All the losing since the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades haven't yielded one, and the Jazz faithful have had a closeup view of a potential franchise cornerstone in Utah.
In December, BYU forward AJ Dybantsa is averaging 27.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals.
And while that kind of production wouldn't translate to the NBA immediately, Dybantsa (or even Cameron Boozer or Darryn Peterson) would supercharge a young core that Ace Bailey and Keyonte George have already made more interesting this season.
26. Milwaukee Bucks (12-18)
5 of 30
Previous Rank: 26
Net Rating: -3.0
For every Milwaukee Bucks fan still hoping for a happy ending to the Giannis Antetokounmpo "will he or won't he ask for a trade" fiasco, every individual win has to feel like a boon.
Milwaukee secured one on Tuesday against the reeling Indiana Pacers, with five different players reaching double figures.
But the Bucks are still 4-13 since mid-November, and we haven't had a significant update on the current Giannis absence.
Seven of Milwaukee's next nine (and nine of its next 12) games are on the road. And several of those road games are against Western Conference opponents.
Without a healthy Giannis, the record could get real ugly, real fast. And it's hard to imagine a further slide selling him on a long-term future with the Bucks.
25. New Orleans Pelicans (8-23)
6 of 30
Previous Rank: 27
Net Rating: -6.8
Their five-game winning streak came to a halt in blowout fashion on Tuesday, but the New Orleans Pelicans are suddenly in "well, I guess it's not ridiculous to think they have a shot at the play-in" territory.
With 51 games to go, New Orleans is 4.5 games back of 10th place. That gap is bridgeable, especially if Derik Queen and Zion Williamson continue to dominate opposing frontcourts.
Since the start of the streak, Williamson is coming off the bench and averaging 21.2 points in 23.5 minutes, while playmaking center Queen is adding 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
24. Los Angeles Clippers (8-21)
7 of 30
Previous Rank: 28
Net Rating: -4.5
We sprinkled a little dirt on the Los Angeles Clippers' playoff chances (and the entire Kawhi Leonard era) last week, but they have managed to wedge the contention window open just a tad.
They beat the Los Angeles Lakers (in a game that Luka Dončić left early with a leg injury) and enter this week just 3.5 games back of the play-in tournament.
And what's probably most encouraging, Leonard showed he can still be the best player in an individual game when superstars are on the other end. He went toe-to-toe with LeBron James in L.A., and then dropped 41 on the Rockets.
Given his almost career-long struggles with injuries, relying on that kind of production from Leonard to keep winning feels precarious. But at the very least, the Clippers aren't quite at rock bottom anymore.
23. Brooklyn Nets (9-19)
8 of 30
Previous Rank: 25
Net Rating: -4.2
The Brooklyn Nets are 6-3 in their last nine games, and they have one of the hottest players in the league to thank for it.
In this stretch alone, Michael Porter Jr. is averaging 28.6 points and 4.9 threes, while shooting 46.4 percent from deep. And what's most impressive is the fact that the rebuilding Nets are dominating as a result of his incredible shooting.
Since December 1 (when this run started), the Nets are plus-84 with the 27-year-old on the floor, giving him the eighth highest plus-minus in the league over that span.
22. Portland Trail Blazers (12-18)
9 of 30
Previous Rank: 22
Net Rating: -3.1
Deni Avdija continues to play like an All-Star. He's averaging 25.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists.
As long as Jrue Holiday remains out with a calf injury, however, there just may not be enough talent on the roster to hold down the 10th spot in the West.
Portland is barely outscoring opponents when Avdija is on the floor, and it's getting absolutely annihilated without him.
On the season, the Blazers have a point differential around that of a 11-win team when the 24-year-old isn't playing.
21. Charlotte Hornets (10-20)
10 of 30
Previous Rank: 21
Net Rating: -3.3
Injuries have severely limited the amount of time LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller have been able to play together, but they've dominated those possessions.
And in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards, those three were plus-20, plus-13 and plus-32, respectively, while shooting a combined 13-of-28 from deep.
Granted, that one was against the lowly Wizards, but you can see the vision when this trio shares the floor. Ball is more than a drive-draw-and-dish specialist. He's an offensive engine. Knueppel and Miller are more than floor spacers. They can punish bad closeouts too.
It's going to take some time for the Hornets to figure out how to effectively defend with this group, but it has enough firepower to cause opponents problems already.
Ball is averaging 19.6 points and 8.7 assists. Knueppel is averaging 19.4 points and 3.6 threes, while shooting 41.9 percent from deep. Miller is at 18.1 points and 2.6 threes. And Miles Bridges leads them all with 20.6 points.
20. Dallas Mavericks (12-20)
11 of 30
Previous Rank: 18
Net Rating: -3.5
In his one season at Duke, Cooper Flagg averaged 16.3 points and shot 42.1 percent from the field in his first 12 games. From that point to the end of the season, he averaged 20.5 and shot 51.1 percent from the field.
Now, in the NBA and against stiffer competition, he's on a similar developmental trajectory.
In his first 10 games as a Dallas Maverick, Flagg put up 13.9 points and made 40.3 percent of his shots. Since then, he's averaging a team-high 22.0 points, while shooting 52.6 percent from the field. He's also adding 6.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks.
There was little doubt the Duke product would get better over the course of his first NBA campaign, but the upward slope he's on is steeper than even his strongest believers could have imagined.
At this point, it feels like All-NBA contention could be in play within the next couple years.
19. Chicago Bulls (14-15)
12 of 30
Previous Rank: 23
Net Rating: -3.6
Right when it looked like their 2025-26 campaign was about to spiral out of control, the Chicago Bulls rattled off four straight victories to close within a game of a .500 record.
And while things looked a little rocky when Coby White first returned to the lineup after an injury, everyone seems to be settling in around him now.
During the four-game winning streak, Matas Buzelis, Nikola Vučević, Josh Giddey and Coby White are all averaging between 19.0 and 20.8 points. White, Giddey and Buzelis are all over 40 percent from deep. And Giddey is handing out 11.3 assists.
The team will have some more valleys over the rest of this season, but the scoring and playmaking balance they're showing right now makes them an unpredictable and highly watchable bunch.
18. Memphis Grizzlies (14-16)
13 of 30
Previous Rank: 19
Net Rating: -1.4
Cam Spencer's brother, Pat, has gotten a little more buzz this season. It's understandable, given his "lacrosse superstar to NBA contributor" story and the fact that he plays for the Golden State Warriors.
But Cam's trajectory deserves its own spotlight. After playing for Loyola and Rutgers, he wound up at UConn, where he won a national title. That wasn't enough to overcome common knocks in the pre-draft process like age and a perceived lack of athleticism, and those contributed to him being taken in the 50s.
Now, just over a year later, Spencer might be—and I promise I'm not trying to be hyperbolic—the Memphis Grizzlies' best player right now.
He leads Memphis in wins over replacement player and is also tops in box plus/minus among Grizzlies rotation players. In just 23.1 minutes, he's also averaging 4.7 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.8 steals, while shooting 49.3 percent from deep.
The Ja Morant-and-Jaren Jackson Jr. era of Memphis basketball may be falling apart right in front of our eyes, but this team will almost certainly stay competitive with Spencer, Zach Edey (assuming he can get and stay healthy) and Cedric Coward.
17. Miami Heat (15-15)
14 of 30
Previous Rank: 13
Net Rating: 1.2
The Miami Heat have sort of papered over their years-long struggle with offense by playing at the league's fastest pace, but they still rank in the bottom half of the league in points per 100 possessions.
And the attack can really crater when Norman Powell is off the floor (or even has an off night). That was evident Tuesday, when he went 6-of-17 from the field, and the Heat could only muster 91 points.
Tyler Herro being limited to just six appearances this season obviously doesn't help either, but even with him on the floor, the offense has been little more than middling.
If they don't get a midseason breakout on that end from someone like Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Bam Adebayo, it's hard to imagine the Heat breaking free of the middle of the NBA's pack.
16. Atlanta Hawks (15-16)
15 of 30
Previous Rank: 12
Net Rating: -0.7
If they weren't thinking about it already, the Atlanta Hawks going 0-3 this week has to have the organization noodling possible Trae Young deals.
After losing to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, Atlanta is now 2-6 with Young in the lineup. The point differential is dramatically worse when he's on the floor.
And perhaps most importantly, during the month and a half Young was out with a knee injury, 24-year-old Jalen Johnson averaged 23.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists.
It seems clear now that the Hawks have a viable franchise cornerstone for a post-Young future. And he's not the defensive liability Young has been for much of his career.
15. Cleveland Cavaliers (17-15)
16 of 30
Previous Rank: 16
Net Rating: 2.2
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a couple rhythm-building wins against sub-.500 teams this week. And for much of their Christmas Day matchup with the New York Knicks, it looked like they might ride that momentum to another victory.
With just over eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Cleveland was up 16 and had a 99 percent win probability. The rest of the way, New York outscored the Cavs, 35-17. And not even Donovan Mitchell's Christmas poster could save them.
Now, instead of celebrating a three-game winning streak that includes a victory over the red-hot Knicks, the Cavs have to face a late-game collapse and some doubt over their recent wins coming against lottery-bound teams.
And with each passing week, it feels more and more like this Cleveland core might need a shakeup before the trade deadline.
Some NBA fans may think that's hasty, but we're somehow already into Mitchell's fourth season with the Cavs. Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen have been around for all of them. And in the lives of many basketball players, that's a while.
Think about a high-level athlete's upbringing. He's likely to experience a fair bit of teammate turnover from middle school, to high school, to college and on into the pros. There's at least a chance the Cavs are a little too familiar with each other, at this point.
14. Phoenix Suns (16-13)
17 of 30
Previous Rank: 15
Net Rating: 0.8
The Phoenix Suns have cooled off a bit since their 11-6 start, but they remain one of the best and most shocking stories of this season.
Even with a roster light on star power (at least based on pre-2025-26 notions), Phoenix is basically playing opponents even when Devin Booker is off the floor.
And while a team-first, effort-fueled approach has plenty to do with that, Dillon Brooks and Collin Gillespie both having career years has been huge.
Brooks is averaging career highs in both points (21.8) and threes (2.5) per game, and Gillespie has put up 16.1 points and 4.8 assists while shooting 42.2 percent from deep since he entered the starting five in late November.
13. Golden State Warriors (16-15)
18 of 30
Previous Rank: 17
Net Rating: 2.5
Everyone seemed fine during the Golden State Warriors' Christmas Day victory. And they're publicly saying all the right things about Draymond Green and Steve Kerr's in-game shouting match that resulted in the former leaving a game early.
They could well be made up already, as Jimmy Butler said on Thursday, but the argument might also expose (and maybe even expand) some cracks in the Warriors' foundation.
Stephen Curry still has plenty left to give. He's putting up 28.4 points. And despite his lack of scoring volume, Butler's well-rounded contributions have him making a top-10-ish impact.
But with Draymond averaging more fouls (3.4) and turnovers (3.1) than made shots (3.0), and none of the younger players on the roster making a leap, there's little chance this team, as currently constructed, is a real contender. The dropoff in talent after that top two is just too steep to meaningfully contend in the West.
Still, going 3-0 this week, with wins over the Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic and in spite of the in-huddle drama, is enough to nudge the Warriors back toward the top 10.
12. Philadelphia 76ers (16-12)
19 of 30
Previous Rank: 14
Net Rating: 1.1
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, but on balance, it's still hard to be anything but encouraged by this campaign.
With 31.0 points and 6.9 assists, Tyrese Maxey is already a near-lock for All-NBA. And VJ Edgecombe's 16.0 points, 4.0 assists and 38.3 three-point percentage are almost guaranteed to make him first-team All-Rookie.
But the up-and-coming backcourt isn't the only reason to be excited of late. After a dreadful first season with the Sixers, Paul George is starting to look a little more like his old self lately.
In December, he's averaging 18.1 points, while shooting 45.5 percent from deep and providing some multipositional defense.
The possibility of a deep playoff run probably still depends an awful lot on Joel Embiid being healthy in the spring (which will always be a scary proposition), but at the very least, Maxey and Edgecombe are giving fans plenty of hope for the future.
11. Orlando Magic (17-13)
20 of 30
Previous Rank: 11
Net Rating: 2.1
As the basketball gods keep conspiring to keep Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner from playing together (their injury timelines never seem to run concurrently), the former finally has some help carrying the offensive load without the latter.
Throughout Banchero's career, the Orlando Magic have really struggled when he plays without Wagner. But during this stint, Desmond Bane is doing his best to keep them afloat.
Over these six games Wagner has missed, Bane is putting up 22.7 points, 5.5 threes and 4.8 assists, while shooting 51.5 percent from deep.
10. Toronto Raptors (18-13)
21 of 30
Previous Rank: 10
Net Rating: 1.7
Scottie Barnes is quietly putting together a fringe All-NBA case for the Toronto Raptors.
He's loading up the stat sheet with 19.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.3 steals per game. And he's tied for 15th in the league in wins over replacement player.
The wins aren't coming as frequently as they did when RJ Barrett was healthy, but Barnes (and to a lesser extent, Brandon Ingram) is keeping the Raptors afloat until he returns.
9. Los Angeles Lakers (19-10)
22 of 30
Previous Rank: 7
Net Rating: -0.6
The Los Angeles Lakers were winless this week. And while it's easy to chalk that up to absences for Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, both were back for Thursday's Christmas matchup against the Houston Rockets. Even with those two and LeBron, the Lakers were annihilated in that one.
Actually, at least in part, the presence of those three is probably why L.A. was annihilated. The trio makes the Lakers a potential offensive juggernaut, but against teams with a lot of size and athleticism on the perimeter, they can get exposed on the other end.
The sample size is still small, but L.A. is losing the minutes with all three stars on the floor (and losing them pretty handily). If that trend holds much longer, the coaching staff might have to bring Reaves or (gasp) LeBron off the bench, stagger the three playmakers more aggressively or trade for some defense.
8. Boston Celtics (18-11)
23 of 30
Previous Rank: 9
Net Rating: 6.6
With apologies to the Phoenix Suns, Toronto Raptors or any other contenders for this honor, the Boston Celtics have to be the biggest (pleasant) surprise in the NBA this season.
This past summer, spurred on by the ongoing absence of Jayson Tatum, Boston aggressively cut roster costs and lost Kristaps Porziņģis, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford. A gap year and a lottery pick almost felt like foregone conclusions.
But thanks to the Celtics' organizational stability, one of the best head coaches in the league in Joe Mazzulla, and a late-career breakout (re-breakout?) for Jaylen Brown, they somehow still have one of the best offenses in the NBA without Tatum.
Brown is leading the way with 29.4 points, but Derrick White (18.3 points and 5.1 assists) and Payton Pritchard (16.8 points and 5.2 assists) deserve some love too.
And even though Boston is smashing expectations, there's still room to improve. The team is 12th in the league in three-point percentage, and White, Pritchard, Anfernee Simons and Sam Hauser are all currently shooting worse than their career marks from deep.
7. Minnesota Timberwolves (20-11)
24 of 30
Previous Rank: 8
Net Rating: 4.4
The Minnesota Timberwolves dropped an overtime heartbreaker on Friday against the Denver Nuggets, but they were 10-2 over the last 12 games before Christmas. And this week alone, they had wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder and New York Knicks.
The T-Wolves have quietly built a dominant, top-five defense behind Rudy Gobert (who was plus-18 in the loss to Denver). On the other end, they have one of the most dynamic top scoring options in the league in Anthony Edwards (who had 44 against the Nuggets and outdueled Shai Gilgeous-Alexander down the stretch earlier in the week).
Now that those two are getting a little more consistent point guard play from Mike Conley and Bones Hyland, Minnesota has become one of the toughest nightly tests in the NBA.
6. Houston Rockets (18-10)
25 of 30
Previous Rank: 5
Net Rating: 8.4
The Houston Rockets smashed the Los Angeles Lakers (who had all three of Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and LeBron James) on Christmas. A few days earlier, they beat the Denver Nuggets in Ball Arena.
Even with Denver missing Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, those are quality wins.
If you zoom out a bit, though, those two games may not be enough to quash concerns over Houston being 5-6 in its last 11.
Relative to much of the rest of the league, it doesn't mean much. This is still one of this season's best teams. But the Rockets are measuring themselves against the likes of the Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder now.
And Houston having the seventh-worst clutch net rating is at least worth noting. There's plenty of time to sort out the offensive hierarchy before the end of the season, but in those tight, end-of-game situations, Kevin Durant almost certainly deserves more of the shot diet.
Right now, in the clutch (defined as the final five minutes of games within five points), Alperen Şengün has a 30.7 usage percentage, while KD is at 18.4.
5. New York Knicks (21-9)
26 of 30
Previous Rank: 3
Net Rating: 6.9
The New York Knicks aren't quite as hot as they were for last week's power rankings, when they were coming off an NBA Cup victory and in the middle of a seven-game winning streak (if you count the Cup final).
However, they did just wipe out a 16-point fourth-quarter lead in a marquee matchup on Christmas Day. And for a team that has long relied on heavy contributions from its starters, getting 25 points from reserve Jordan Clarkson in that comeback has to be encouraging.
Over his last nine games, Clarkson is averaging 11.3 points and shooting 45.0 percent from deep. If he can keep producing near that level going forward and the Knicks can win more of their bench stints, this team might even threaten the top spot in this exercise.
4. Detroit Pistons (24-6)
27 of 30
Previous Rank: 6
Net Rating: 6.9
While teams all over the Western Conference are beating each other up week to week, the Detroit Pistons are quietly chugging along and are now within striking distance of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the NBA.
And although they've played mostly sub-.500 teams in December, they beat the Boston Celtics on the road last week and knocked off the Houston Rockets earlier in the season.
There are a couple of quality wins on the resume, and they're sure to get some more between now and the end of the campaign, but the schedule is also breaking nicely for this team.
They've had one of the easiest schedules in the East to date and have the ninth-hardest the rest of the way.
3. Denver Nuggets (22-8)
28 of 30
Previous Rank: 2
Net Rating: 8.5
Most teams couldn't survive the long-term absences of two starters the way the Denver Nuggets have. And Cameron Johnson joining Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun on the injury report almost certainly should have been the breaking point.
However, the Nuggets have Nikola Jokić.
And on Christmas Day, without all three starting forward/wings and against a huge team that has had Denver's number for a couple years, Jokić willed a seemingly unwinnable game into a victory and totaled 56 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists.
Regardless of what the Oklahoma City Thunder are doing this season and the fact that others may snag an MVP from him here or there, games like Thursday's are a vivid reminder that there's still no individual difference-maker quite like Jokić.
2. Oklahoma City Thunder (26-5)
29 of 30
Previous Rank: 1
Net Rating: 13.6
He may not actually be looking for Victor Wembanyama in the picture above (you can see Stephon Castle right in front of him), but it's easy to imagine Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder reacting similarly to the San Antonio Spurs chasing them down in the standings and these power rankings.
For weeks, it's felt like OKC might have the top spot in this exercise locked up for the rest of the season. But it's now 0-3 against San Antonio, with two losses this week not being close.
The Spurs are suddenly just two back of the Thunder in the loss column and look to have maybe the one roster that can effectively counter OKC's.
They have a genuine superstar big who can test the Thunder's frontcourt depth and an incredibly athletic backcourt that can bother SGA without constantly sending him to the charity stripe.
Ultimately, OKC, which still seems to be reintegrating Jalen Williams into the mix, is the safe bet in a seven-game series against anyone. But right now, it at least looks mortal.
1. San Antonio Spurs (23-7)
30 of 30
Previous Rank: 4
Net Rating: 6.9
It's tough to find the perfect balance between all the criteria listed in the intros for these power rankings every week.
On one hand, even after this recent stretch, there probably aren't many fans or analysts who think anyone truly has a better shot at the title than the Oklahoma City Thunder. On the other, each week's rankings should capture a little bit about what's going on in the moment.
And after going 3-0 against OKC in the last two weeks, now feels like the moment to award the San Antonio Spurs the top spot.
This shift goes beyond just those three games, though.
To this point, OKC has played one of the easiest schedules in the NBA. And after Thursday, it's now minus-6.0 points per 100 possessions in games against teams with a top-10 net rating. That mark ranks around the middle of the league, but it's obviously not "inevitable champion" good.
Meanwhile, the Spurs are on fire. Since the NBA Cup final doesn't count toward their regular-season record, they're on an eight-game winning streak. The athleticism of young guards Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper appears to genuinely bother OKC. De'Aaron Fox's speed makes the Thunder's perimeter defense look human.
But of course, even as he's shifted to a bench role while working his way back from an injury, Victor Wembanyama is the biggest (literally and figuratively) factor behind this rise.
Wemby had 19 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes in the latest win over OKC. And the do-everything-on-both-ends phenom is now averaging 27.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.5 blocks per 75 possessions.
