The San Antonio Spurs rank as the No. 4 team in the league in ESPN's latest Power Rankings, sitting behind Oklahoma City, Detroit and Denver. Houston rounds out the top five.

The Spurs shot up four spots since the last ranking after reaching the NBA Cup Finals.

"Despite their loss to the Knicks in the NBA Cup final, the Spurs are beaming with confidence after a record of 9-3 without Victor Wembanyama. They are feeling even better about their prospects now that he is back in the mix," Michael C. Wright says. "Wembanyama generates most of the headlines in San Antonio, but the trio of guards De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and rookie Dylan Harper has proven to be a problem for opponents."
