          • NBA SBPI Ratings - (11/20/14)

            November 20, 2014


            Now that we are at least 10 games into the season for each team let’s take a first glance at the NBA SportsBoss Power Index (SBPI).

            As a reminder this model uses the Four Factors analysis as a basis to measure team effectiveness & efficiency in key statistical areas. New this season I have added in a solid metric for SOS, along with adjusting the ratings to better tie into my indices in other sports where higher marks are better scores (if you look back at last season I used the reverse for the NBA where lower grades were better).

            Here is where each team stands through last night’s action:

            PERFORMANCE RATINGS (AS OF 11/20/14)

            New York 21 29 29 79.3 30 3-10

            Let’s take a closer look at the above ratings, and provide some color behind a few teams that “stand out” for seemingly rating higher or lower than expected.

            Memphis: The Grizzlies have the best record in the NBA & also lead the SBPI by a decent margin. Right now I would have them as approximately 4pt favorites over the Rockets on a neutral floor – these teams met in Memphis recently with game going off as Memphis -4.5; my model would have set that # closer to -8.5 & the Grizzlies went on to paste the Rockets by 20+. Their biggest weakness at this point is EFG%, an area they figure to struggle in more times than not because of the makeup of their roster. That is the precise reason the Grizzlies are an annual tough out in the playoffs but at the end of the day they fail to score enough to truly challenge the elite in the Western Conference.

            Toronto:The Raptors are the only Eastern Conference team with 2 losses or fewer, and they narrowly handled a depleted Grizzlies roster last night at home. With the injury losses Indiana has suffered, the slow growth the Cavaliers figure to endure & the uncertain status of Bulls PG Derrick Rose this season the Raptors may be very well positioned come May to make a run at their first NBA Finals berth.

            Western Conference: Of the top 15 teams in the above ratings 11 are from the West, and that does not include Phoenix or Oklahoma City, a pair of teams that clearly have designs on making a playoff run this season.

            Minnesota: The only sub .500 team in the Top 13 are the Wolves & they have been steadily dropping in the ratings since PG Ricky Rubio went down early this season. They must ratchet up their defense a FEW levels to continue competing in the rugged Western Conference.

            Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, New York: The three teams with the worst record in the NBA check in as the three worst in the SBPI as well. Now we know OKC will be a threat very shortly once Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant return from injury – but the other two figure to be among the worst handful of teams all season long, with the 76ers in prime position to secure the top pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

            Next let’s dive into the Power Ratings which use the Performance Rankings as a base:

            POWER RATINGS (AS OF 3/31/14)
            Team Home Road
            Memphis 117.5 113.0

            Brooklyn 106.2 103.7
            Minnesota 110.6 108.1
            Indiana 108.7 106.7
            Oklahoma City 104.1 102.1
            Chicago 109.4 107.4
            Cleveland 110.3 108.3
            Denver 106.1 104.1
            Orlando 104.8 102.8
            Boston 108.8 106.8
            Detroit 106.4 104.4
            New York 102.1 100.1
            L.A. Lakers 109.0 107.0
            Philadelphia 102.2 100.2

            These are actual Power Ratings that can be used when handicapping nightly matchups.

            How good are bookmakers at setting odds?

            Twelve of the 30 teams in the NBA are currently playing to within one game of .500 in their ATS record.

            There are three ways I find this information useful:

            -- Finding teams that are skewed drastically in one direction & play for them to come back towards .500. Of course you need to find great “spots” to execute that strategy, however, I do feel passing on say a team facing the Knicks is smarter than playing against the Knicks at this point. Many will disagree with that strategy but remember, its ALWAYS OK to pass on a game.

            -- Finding teams whose ATS record does not match up with the SBPI ratings above. A good example of this would be Milwaukee, who is playing as the 20th best team according to my ratings yet sits at 9-3 ATS. Their lines may become inflated by the slightest of margins so their ATS record comes back towards the median, however, there are truly not playing as well as the public most likely perceives because of that ATS record.

            -- Locating teams whose home/road game skews are big at this early point in the season. As we get deeper into a season we get a better feel for every team because they will have significant sample sizes in both home & road games; right now however teams like Toronto and Portland have played eight home games through Nov. 20 while San Antonio has played just four.

              Dwyane Wade, Miami - Ques Sun

              Wade has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury and is questionable to play Sunday against the Hornets.


              Road teams clean up at betting window Saturday

              Road teams had a good night for bettors, posting a record against the spread of 7-2 in Saturday's nine games. Away faves went 5-1 ATS, while road underdogs went 2-1 on the evening.

              The only road teams that failed to cover the spread were the Dallas Mavericks (as 4-point favorites at the Houston Rockets) and the Brooklyn Nets (as 10-point road dogs at the San Antonio Spurs).

              Visitors have the edge in the season-to-date record as well, improving to 103-86-3 following Saturday's results.

                  2014-15 NBA Finals Prediction

                  San Antonio over Chicago - Presuming every key figure remains healthy throughout the postseason, we'll see the Spurs remain basketball's best team. Their projected opponent will open some eyebrows, but I'd agree with James that the Cavaliers do indeed have a long way to go before they have the goods to win it all. The Bulls will be more disciplined defensively, have solid depth and a deep, smart, unselfish frontcourt that will get their hands dirty and be a force on both ends of the floor come May and June. Derrick Rose will hopefully be bouncing around running the show, providing the requisite hunger necessary to extend Cleveland's championship drought at least another season. Of course, the Cavs won't go quietly, giving San Antonio's repeat bid a major boost as it awaits a tired Eastern Conference champ.
