| The Hoops Index
for the NBA is designed to forecast the winners of NBA basketball games.
Historically, the Hoops Index has picked nearly 67% of the straight-up winners. Included
here are the current forecast, recent results, team standings and our computer rankings
and ratings. Ratings are now being updated on a daily basis. *Home Team
Advantage is estimated to be +4 points. In games rated "even", our slight
favorite is listed first. The +/- listings are for straight-up right and
wrong only. We do not track pointspreads in the NBA! |
