Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 1, 2026

Orlando sits 15th with a +1.485 neutral-field rating, up sharply from a 0.516 prior-season mark, and that jump has come against a brutal 7.411 strength of schedule. The market is still pricing them 4.11 points worse than this rating implies, so they're a clear buy — if the number is a couple points short of the rating, take the points or the side. No key players are docked, so the rating is clean.
