Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 1, 2026

The Knicks rate 4.929 points better than an average team on a neutral field, 11th in the league, but that's down from a 7.145 prior-season rating and they've opened 0-3 against the toughest schedule in this sample (4.153). The market is still pricing them 1.27 points better than this rating implies, so I'm selling New York at current spreads until the number catches down to the data.
