PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns are currently on a six-game winning streak and have seemingly found their recipe for success. 

As the team readies for a lengthy road trip that will span roughly two weeks, the Suns have seen NBA power rankings both yesterday and today show them some much-needed love:

The Athletic: No. 10 (Previously 15)

Zach Harper: "The Suns might be in the process of turning this into what they expected it to be. They’ve played great basketball recently, and we’re seeing the trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal look unstoppable on offense. I still believe in the potential of this team, but they really don’t have role players capable of helping on both ends of the floor. The Suns have to pretty much decide to go all-in on offense."

NBA.com: No. 9 (Previously 14)

John Schuhmann: "Uh oh. It may be time for other teams to start (if they weren’t already) worrying about the Suns, who’ve had their three stars together for seven straight games and won the last five."

Clutch Points: No. 12 (Previously 17)

Brett Siegel: "The Suns are looking to prove they can contend with the very best in the league. Now just six games back from the 1-seeded Timberwolves, Phoenix has a great opportunity ahead of them this upcoming week. Aside from a home game against Chicago, three road games against playoff-caliber teams gives the Suns a chance to inch closer to the top of the West standings. The Suns are hot and made the biggest jump in these Week 14 NBA Power Rankings."

CBS Sports: No. 10 (Previously 16)

Colin Ward-Henninger: "And here come the Suns, who have won five straight after beating the Kings, Pelicans and Pacers this week. Devin Booker went off for 52 points in the win over New Orleans, then Kevin Durant took the helm and dropped a 40-piece on Indiana. They each averaged over 30 for the week. Thus the power of the Phoenix offense."
