NBA Power Rankings: Heavy’s Top 10 for January 9


10. Atlanta


Record: 21-16


Last week: Unranked


The Hawks struggled mightily earlier this season, due in large part to the inconsistent play of their backcourt. Things have changed on that front, with point guard Dennis Schröder playing much better basketball and players such as Thabo Sefalosha and Tim Hardaway Jr. raising their production as well. Atlanta has traded Kyle Korver to Cleveland, and with the next question being what they'll do with forward Paul Millsap (he can opt out this summer) it's tough to truly pinpoint where they'll be a month from now. But they're playing well right now, which is why they're in this week's rankings. (Getty)
