Against expected,
1 game is still too small a sample for the statistics to say much, but maybe you can find something if you squint.
| a game | offense | defense |
|---|---|---|
| Points | +28.8 · 1st | −18.6 · 7th |
| Rebounds | −17.9 · 2nd | |
| Assists | −6.5 · 8th | |
| 3-pointers made | −0.2 · 23rd | |
| Free throw attempts | +7.4 · 38th | |
| Turnovers | −9.4 · 42nd |
Over (+) or under (−) what its opponents usually allow, a game, and where that stands among 44 teams, the best first. Lit is the top four or the bottom four.
Method
- Against expected is each game against what the opponent usually gave up in its other games, with half the home edge, averaged. A game against a team with no other game here sits out.
