How NBAStatz Power Rankings Work

Pre-season rankings weight the futures market heavily because it already prices in new rosters, trades, and off-season moves. Championship Futures (60%): de-vigged implied probability from sportsbook outright markets. Net Rating (20%): last season's pace-adjusted ORTG minus DRTG — carried for context. Market Win Rate (20%): last season's implied win probability from moneylines. ORTG and DRTG cells are green for top-5, red for bottom-5.
