Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 4, 2026

Atlanta grades out at 13.8 points better than an average team on a neutral field, good for No. 2 in the league, and that rating jumped 1.5 points this week on a schedule that's been a real 3.3 points tougher than average. The market is even higher at 14.8, so there's no free value here — the number already prices in the elite form, meaning you're paying a premium rather than buying a bargain. With no key players docked and a prior-season rating of just 2.5, this is a legitimate leap, but treat them as fairly priced at best and look to sell if the spread climbs past that 14.8 market mark.
