How the rankings work
Rankings combine four signals, each normalised 0-100 across all 30 teams. Net Rating (30%): offensive rating minus defensive rating per 100 possessions, pace-adjusted using FGA, OREB, TOV and FTA. Market Win Rate (30%): implied win probability derived from game-by-game moneylines, with the bookmaker overround removed. Championship Futures (30%): de-vigged implied probability from outright championship markets. Win % (10%): season record. ORTG and DRTG cells are green for top-5 in the league, red for bottom-5.
