After enjoying some brief success during the month of January, the Portland Trail Blazers are on another losing skid. The team ended the month by dropping four of their last five games, including a 98-81 dud against the Oklahoma City Thunder last night. Despite the difficult week, in The Athletic’s weekly NBA Power Rankings, writer Zach Harper didn’t move the Blazers up or down.
Portland sits in the tenth spot of the Western Conference standings with a 21-29 record. For the second consecutive week, Harper placed Portland in the No. 21 spot of his league-wide rankings.
