Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 1, 2026

OKC grades out as the No. 2 team in the league at +10.94 points better than average on a neutral field, up sharply from an 8.06 prior-season rating, and they've opened 4-0 with no injury dock against the second-toughest schedule in the sample. The market is still pricing them 3.67 points shy of this rating, so they're a clear buy — you're getting roughly a field goal of value on the number every time you lay it. With a healthy roster and a schedule-adjusted profile this strong, this is a team to back now before the lines fully catch up.
