The Magic’s up-and-down season continues on the court and in the NBA Power Rankings.
After jumping a few spots last week in most rankings thanks to back-to-back wins over the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets, the Magic dropped back down after a three-game losing streak. They snapped that streak with a win over the Hawks, though a majority of this week’s rankings were done prior to that game (and probably wouldn’t have moved the Magic much higher anyway).

The Magic have lost three straight games and seven of their past nine to fall to 11th place in the Eastern Conference, tied for the sixth-worst record in the NBA.
