NBA Power Rankings
Pure algorithm, zero hot takes. Every team is rated by the engine on win percentage, scoring differential, and recent form, then ranked head-to-head against the league. Recomputed daily — last updated 2026-06-12.

How the rating works
Each team's rating is a weighted blend of three standardized signals: win percentage (are they winning?), scoring differential per game (are they winning convincingly?), and last-10 form (are they hot or fading?). Standardizing against the league turns it into a single number — positive means above average, and the gap between two teams is a real strength difference, not a gut ranking.
