Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 4, 2026

LAL sits at 6.682 rating points with a +0.381 weekly move, but that number is built on a 3-0 record against a schedule 4.226 points softer than average, so the resume is inflated. The market is already ahead of the model at -1.93 versus the rating, meaning you're paying a premium to back them and should look to sell high or fade the spread until the competition stiffens.
