NBA Team Metrics

Our own rating system for the NBA. All 30 franchises are scored 1-100 on six long-term measures, built from a decade of regular seasons and postseasons rather than from a hot month.

teams: 30
leagues: 1

Rated through the 2025 season.

These ratings are recomputed once a week. Last update: Sep 28, 2026·Next update: Oct 5, 2026

What each rating measures

Overall.: How strong the team has been across the whole period.
Offense.: Points scored, weighted towards recent seasons.
Defense.: Points and goals conceded, on the same weighting.
Dominance.: How far clear of the rest of its league the team finishes.
Consistency.: How little the team's level swings from season to season.
Pedigree.: Long-run standing — titles, deep runs, and time spent at the top.
