The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors are locked in a two-way battle for the No. 1 spot on this week’s NBA Power Rankings.

With each passing week, we learn more and more about which teams are the real title contenders, which are destined for the playoffs and which will challenge the Philadelphia 76ers for that No. 1 draft pick next summer.
