NBA Pickem Week 3: Buy the Timberwolves Edition: There are six nationally televised NBA games this week beginning on Wednesday night with Celtics/Heat and Clippers/Warriors on ESPN. Scooby10672 leads the contest with 58 over Cixelsyd at 40. I forgot to make my picks and now occupy the cellar. Don't be like me this week.

Are the Clippers and Warriors playing twice this week or is that sixth game incorrect?

Here is the link to the week 3 power rankings.https://www.nba.com/news/powerrankings-2020-21-week-3 Some of the rankings are a bit of a surprise, but remember, it's early. Rotations are still being developed, tape is being studied to determine how to set defenses against teams and players, and some players who stood out in the bubble haven't gotten up to speed yet. A few rookies look good, but once the tape is out, that will change. Picking the winners will be a lot easier in another month or so.
