Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 4, 2026

Portland sits 7th with an 8.765 neutral-field rating, up 0.219 from last week, but that number is inflated by a -9.454 strength of schedule, so the 2-0 start deserves skepticism. The market's 7.78 versus our 8.765 says we're slightly higher on them than the number, but with no key absences docked, this is a small buy only when the matchup isn't a step up in class.
