NBA: 2022 Analytics Report 2.0

Throughout the regular season, we’re going to track how each NBA team is playing in recent games and matchups. For the report, we combined offensive and defensive efficiency, point differential, pace, strength of schedule, consistency rating, and expected win percentage. Statistics are according to NBA Stuffer. The Warriors and Suns (20-4) own the top spots in our report as both rank in the top-five in defensive efficiency and point differential after splitting a pair of matchups last week. Brooklyn (16-7) stills holds the best record in the Eastern Conference but recently lost to second place Chicago (17-8) on Saturday night. The Bulls rank in the top-five in defensive efficiency, point differential (+4.8) and expected win percentage. Utah leads the league in offensive efficiency with 116.6 points per 100 possessions.
