Earl's NBA power ranking ยท Week 1, 2026
#5
rank
+9.0
rating (points, neutral field)
49-33
record (2025)
+6.8
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Minnesota sits 5th with a 9.049 neutral-field rating, a massive jump from last season's 1.392, and they've backed it up at 3-1 against the toughest schedule in the sample (1.338). The market is still catching up, with a 6.78 gap between rating and market price, so this is a clear buy โ their rating implies they should be laying roughly 9 points on a neutral field, more than a typical spread prices them at. No key players are docked, so the number is clean.
