The Toronto Raptors' 11-game winning streak has been snapped at the hands of Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Raptors' consolation prize: this week's No. 2 ranking.

Toronto's impressive run atop the Eastern Conference, paired with injuries to three of the Golden State Warriors' four superstars, sends the defending champs into the third spot for the first time since Week 8.

Meanwhile, a trio of Western Conference teams -- the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz and OKC -- are staying red-hot near the top of our list.

Every week throughout the regular season, our panel (ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz, Amin Elhassan and Ramona Shelburne, The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears and FiveThirtyEight's Chris Herring) will rank the league's 30 teams from top to bottom, with research notes on each team provided by ESPN Stats & Information.

1. Houston Rockets

2017-18 record: 56-14

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 1 4-0 @POR, DET, NO, ATL

The Rockets are three games up on the Warriors in the race for the Western Conference's No. 1 seed. This bodes well for Houston, as 23 of the 34 champions have been top seeds since playoff seeding began in 1983-84. -- Jose De Leon

2. Toronto Raptors

2017-18 record: 52-18

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 3 3-1 @ORL, @CLE, BKN, LAC

The Raptors' franchise-record-tying 11-game winning streak was snapped by the Thunder on Sunday afternoon. During the streak, Toronto boasted the league's best offense and fifth-best defense. -- Michael Schwartz

3. Golden State Warriors

2017-18 record: 53-17

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 2 2-1 @SA, ATL, UTAH

Without Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson, what should we expect from Draymond Green? Including the past two games, Green has played 134 minutes this season without any of the other Big Four on the court. The Warriors are outscoring opponents by 3.4 points per 100 possessions in those 134 minutes. -- Matt Williams

4. Portland Trail Blazers

2017-18 record: 44-26

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 4 4-0 HOU, BOS, @OKC

The Blazers extended their win streak Sunday to 13 games, which is tied for the third longest in franchise history (their longest was 16 straight in 1990-91). Portland has also dominated during the streak, averaging an NBA-best point differential of 12.1 per game since Valentine's Day, the first day of the win streak. -- Matt Williams

5. Oklahoma City Thunder

2017-18 record: 43-29

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 8 4-0 @BOS, MIA, POR

In Sunday's win at Toronto, Westbrook joined Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history with at least three career streaks of five straight triple-doubles, according to Elias Sports Bureau research. The Thunder improved to 5-2 against the Raptors, Rockets and Warriors, giving them the best record and most wins in the NBA against the league's three best teams. -- Michael Schwartz

6. Utah Jazz

2017-18 record: 40-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 7 3-0 ATL, @DAL, @SA, @GS

The Jazz are rolling, winners of nine straight and 21 of their past 23 games. According to Elias Sports Bureau research, this is only the fourth season in Jazz history in which Utah has won 21 times over a 23-game span. They also did it 1994-95, 1996-97 and 1997-98. -- Matt Williams

7. Boston Celtics

2017-18 record: 47-23

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 5 1-2 OKC, @POR, @SAC

Kyrie Irving has missed the past three games and in the All-Star point guard's absence, Marcus Morris stepped up to record his best game of the season on Wednesday against the Wizards. Morris finished with a season-high 31 points on 11 made field goals. -- Jose De Leon

8. Cleveland Cavaliers

2017-18 record: 40-29

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 6 2-1 MIL, TOR, PHX, @BKN

The Cavaliers finished their six-game road trip on Saturday, going 3-3, but a potential theme has emerged. Since the All-Star break, Cleveland is 5-1 against teams with a record below .500. Over this same stretch, the Cavaliers are 1-6 against teams with a record of .500 or better. This trend will be tested on Monday and Wednesday as they face the Bucks and Raptors. -- Matt Williams

9. Washington Wizards

2017-18 record: 40-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 10 2-1 @SA, DEN, NY

The Wizards beat the Celtics in the second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday, improving to 6-6 on zero days' rest this season. It was Washington's first such win since John Wall has been out with a knee injury (lost previous four games). -- Jose De Leon

10. Philadelphia 76ers

2017-18 record: 38-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 9 2-1 CHA, MEM, @ORL, MIN

ESPN's Basketball Power Index projects the 76ers as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference thanks to the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA. Ten of Philly's final 14 games are against teams with a losing record. -- Michael Schwartz

11. San Antonio Spurs

2017-18 record: 40-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 14 3-1 GS, WAS, UTAH, @MIL

LaMarcus Aldridge went for 39 points and 10 rebounds in the Spurs' win over the Timberwolves on Saturday. Aldridge is the first Spur to go for 35 and 10 in more than a decade. Tim Duncan was the last San Antonio player to put up that line, in December 2007 in a loss to the Suns. -- Michael Schwartz

12. New Orleans Pelicans

2017-18 record: 40-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 12 2-2 DAL, IND, LAL, @HOU

The Pelicans are in the middle of something that has never happened in NBA history. After hosting the Rockets and Celtics this past Saturday and Sunday at Smoothie King Center, the Pelicans will host the Mavericks on Tuesday, Pacers (in a makeup game) on Wednesday and Lakers on Thursday. According to Elias Sports Bureau research, the Pelicans will become the first team in NBA history to play five games in the same arena within a span of six days. -- Matt Williams

13. Minnesota Timberwolves

2017-18 record: 40-31

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 13 1-2 LAC, @NY, @PHI

The Timberwolves have played their past nine games without Jimmy Butler, and Andrew Wiggins hasn't necessarily lit up the scoreboard in his absence. In those games, Wiggins is averaging 20.8 points per game on 47 percent shooting. That's only 2.8 more points per game than his season average. -- Jose De Leon

14. Indiana Pacers

2017-18 record: 40-30

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 11 1-2 LAL, @NO, LAC, MIA

The Pacers are in a battle with the Cavaliers and Wizards for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs; Indiana went 1-2 against Washington and 3-1 against Cleveland. The Cavaliers have played 10 teams at least three times this season. The Pacers are the only team to beat them at least three times. -- Jose De Leon

15. Milwaukee Bucks

2017-18 record: 37-32

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 17 2-1 @CLE, LAC, @CHI, SA

Giannis Antetokounmpo needs to increase his assists per game by 0.2 to become the ninth player in NBA history to average 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game in a single season. Before DeMarcus Cousins this season and Westbrook last season, this had not been done since Charles Barkley during his 1992-93 campaign. -- Michael Schwartz

16. Denver Nuggets

2017-18 record: 38-32

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 15 1-2 @MIA, @CHI, @WAS

The path to the playoffs is looking rocky for Denver. The Nuggets lost 101-94 on Saturday against the Grizzlies, snapping Memphis' 19-game losing streak. Denver's seven-game road trip, their longest of the season, continues Monday in Miami. Following the Nuggets' game on Wednesday against the Bulls, they play their final 10 games against opponents with a record currently above .500. -- Matt Williams

17. LA Clippers

2017-18 record: 37-32

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 16 1-3 @MIN, @MIL, @IND, @TOR

The Clippers play their next four games on the road with one of those on zero days' rest. They're 2-2 in their past four road games on zero days' rest after losing their first five such games of the season. -- Jose De Leon

18. Miami Heat

2017-18 record: 37-33

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 19 1-2 DEN, NY, @OKC, @IND

No team has played in more clutch-time games than the Heat this season, as 47 of them have been within five points in the final five minutes. But after starting 22-11 in those games, they've since gone 4-10. With Detroit plummeting, Miami appears to be safely in the postseason and has a chance to move up from No. 8 with the sixth-easiest schedule remaining in the NBA, per BPI. -- Vincent Johnson

19. Los Angeles Lakers

2017-18 record: 31-38

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 18 1-2 @IND, @NO, @MEM

The Lakers will have to make a decision regarding Julius Randle, who is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Randle has had a strong season, especially in his past four games, where he has recorded at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in each. That is the longest streak by a Lakers player since Pau Gasol had a five-game streak in January 2014. -- Matt Williams

20. Charlotte Hornets

2017-18 record: 30-40

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 20 1-2 @PHI, @BKN, MEM, @DAL

Dwight Howard is on pace for his 11th season averaging at least 12 rebounds per game, which will be tied for third-most in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. Howard is also eight rebounds away from passing Jerry Lucas for 16th-most all time. -- Michael Schwartz

21. Detroit Pistons

2017-18 record: 30-39

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 21 0-3 @SAC, @PHX, @HOU, CHI

The road has not been kind to the Pistons, who have lost 12 straight and 17 of their past 18 games away from Detroit. The Pistons' 1-17 record on the road since Dec. 20 is worst in the NBA, and their 12-game road losing streak is the longest for the franchise since losing 13 consecutive from January to March 2014. -- Matt Williams

22. Chicago Bulls

2017-18 record: 24-45

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 22 1-2 @NY, DEN, MIL, @DET

The Bulls are 4-4 in March, a better record than the Celtics', Cavaliers' and Timberwolves', to name a few teams. According to BPI, Chicago has the eighth-best odds of getting the top pick in this year's NBA draft. -- Jose De Leon

23. Sacramento Kings

2017-18 record: 23-48

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 25 2-2 DET, ATL, BOS

The Kings, who had already defeated the Warriors in Oakland on Nov. 27, beat the Warriors on Friday and did something that no other team has accomplished since Steve Kerr became coach of Golden State in 2014-15: win multiple games within a single regular season at Oracle Arena. -- Matt Williams

24. Dallas Mavericks

2017-18 record: 22-48

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 23 1-2 @NO, UTAH, CHA

Dirk Nowitzki hit another milestone on Saturday by playing in his 1,463rd career game, breaking a tie with Kevin Garnett for the fifth-most in NBA history. The only players with more career NBA games are Robert Parish, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Stockton and Karl Malone. -- Michael Schwartz

25. Brooklyn Nets

2017-18 record: 22-48

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 24 1-2 MEM, CHA, @TOR, CLE

On Tuesday against the Raptors, D'Angelo Russell scored 24 points in the opening quarter, tied for the second-most in a quarter by a Nets player over the past 20 seasons. Russell became the second player with seven 3-pointers in the first seven minutes of a game in the past 20 seasons (Kevin Love on Nov. 23, 2016, against the Blazers). -- Jose De Leon

26. New York Knicks

2017-18 record: 25-45

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 26 1-2 CHI, @MIA, MIN, @WAS

The Knicks have gotten back into the tank race by losing nine in a row and 17 of 18 before beating the Hornets on Saturday. Now New York hosts a "critical" matchup on Monday against the Bulls, who have one fewer win than the Knicks. -- Michael Schwartz

27. Orlando Magic

2017-18 record: 21-49

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 27 1-2 TOR, PHI, PHX

Jonathon Simmons scored a career-high 35 points to lead the Magic to an upset win over the Bucks on Wednesday. Simmons hit seven 3-pointers in the win, eclipsing his career high by three. -- Michael Schwartz

28. Atlanta Hawks

2017-18 record: 20-50

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 28 0-3 @UTAH, @SAC, @GS, @HOU

The Hawks reached 50 losses in a season for the first time since 2006-07 and just started a season-long six-game road trip on Saturday, losing to the Bucks. Despite the struggles this season, one bright spot, especially as of late, has been Taurean Prince. Prince scored 38 points on Saturday, matching his career-high from earlier this month. Prince is the first Hawks player with multiple 35-point games in a season since Joe Johnson in 2010-11. -- Matt Williams

29. Memphis Grizzlies

2017-18 record: 19-50

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 29 1-2 @BKN, @PHI, @CHA, LAL

The streak is finally over! After failing to win in 19 straight games, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets on Saturday. The losing streak was tied for the second-longest in franchise history -- the Grizzlies lost 23 consecutive games during the 1995-96 season when the franchise was in Vancouver. -- Matt Williams

30. Phoenix Suns

2017-18 record: 19-52

PREV. RANK LAST WEEK THIS WEEK 30 0-3 DET, @CLE, @ORL

The Suns have lost 23 of their past 25 games to secure the league's worst record entering Monday, but Josh Jackson is showing why the Suns made him the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 draft. Since Jan. 1, Jackson ranks third in scoring (16.0) among rookies, behind only Donovan Mitchell and Dennis Smith Jr. That's after Jackson scored a career-high 36 points Saturday against the Warriors, his first career 30-point game. -- Michael Schwartz
