NBA POWER RATINGS - PRO BASKETBALL POWER RATINGS

NBA Power Ratings are a numerical value of relative strength of teams based on a performance, changes in personnel, coaching, schedule strength and current form. NBA basketball power ratings are statistical and historical ratings and do not take into account emotional factors. NBA power ratings are purely objective and a deadly weapon in any handicapper's arsenal. No emotion or bias is involved. NBA power ratings must be updated weekly or they become skewed and stale. Our NBA power ratings allow us to judge pretty accurately the relative strengths of teams in any given matchup. NBA Power ratings are an exceptional handicapping tool and should be utilized with many other handicapping tools such as trend, statistical and fundamental analysis. Our aim is to obtain winners via our NBA power ratings and using other handicapping methodology to confirm, adjust and predict a point spread to compare against the Las Vegas odds.

To make point spread predictions for scheduled upcoming games, simply compare the Home Team's Power Rating to that of the Away Team's Power Rating and add 3 points for the home team advantage. Thus, for example, a HOME team with a rating of 5 playing a ROAD team with a rating 8 indicates the home team is 3 points stronger. Then give the HOME team 3 for playing home and now the final point spread has the home team favored by 6 points 8-5+3 = 8 over the VISITING team. We update our pro football power ratings after each weeks games.
