Earl's NBA power ranking ยท Week 1, 2026
#31
rank
-13.0
rating (points, neutral field)
31-51
record (2025)
-3.1
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Chicago grades out at -12.97 points versus an average team on a neutral floor, 31st in the league and nearly 3.6 points worse than their prior-season rating of -9.42, so this is a clear step back even against a soft schedule (-1.76). At 1-3 and underperforming the market by 3.06 points, the books are still pricing them better than the numbers say, which makes them a sell and a fade candidate whenever the spread sits a field goal or more short of that -13 baseline.
