The Hoops Index for the NBA is designed to forecast the winners of NBA basketball games. Historically, the Hoops Index has picked nearly 70% of the straight-up winners. Included here are the current forecast, recent results, team standings and our computer rankings and ratings. Ratings are now being updated on a daily basis. *Home Team Advantage is estimated to be +5 points. In games rated "even", our slight favorite is listed first. The +/- listings are for straight-up right and wrong only. We do not track pointspreads in the NBA!
