How the rankings work

Every NBA team is ranked on three public numbers: its win percentage, its point differential per game, and its NBA title odds at the sportsbook (DraftKings) with the margin removed. On each number the best team gets 100 points and the worst 0; the power score is the average of the three. This early in the season (under 10 games played), last season's win percentage is a fourth number so one blowout does not decide everything. The formula never changes and nobody votes: these are not opinions, and not Odyn's model, which prices single games only.
