Updated through last night's games.

Updated through last night.

Getting close to the point where Vegas pre-season wins totals becomes less than half the projection for most of these teams (13 games).

Missed updating this yesterday before the games (really need to automate that), but here are the updated Projected Final Standings after last night's games.

Bulls tumbling back towards mid.

Updated projections. Added one more slight tweak (added HCA to the opponent-adjusted MOV calculation, didn't move things a ton). #NBASky

From Vegas expectations:

Bulls, Lakers, Pistons, Spurs, Blazers, Heat ⬆️

Magic, Cavs, Wolves, Clips, Grizz, Mavs, Pacers ⬇️

The Bulls have moved up almost 8 wins from their preseason Vegas odds-adjusted win projection through 7 games, which is pretty wild.

66% of the projection is still from Vegas's expectations.

Made a slight methodological tweak (including current win %, in addition to current SRS). New results!

Borrowed an old method from Tom Bassine (updated to account for team & opponent 3 point shooting variance in early season samples), I built some projections based on preseason Vegas adjusted win totals, 3 point & ft point differentials from league avg (per game), and current SRS. #NBASky

me when I see someone trying to do pro Patrick Williams posts after 4 games where he has averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 stock per game:

Looking more holistically, the Bulls shot profile surrendered suggests a 56.7% eFG% for their opponents, but instead, they are only shooting 48.4% eFG%. See below from CTG:

We can do some quick math to see the impact of that.
