The Basketball Power Index (BPI) is an advanced analytics tool that better predicts NBA team performance by adjusting for past performance, injuries, and player changes.
ESPN’s BPI gives the Memphis Grizzlies a 69% chance of making the playoffs, factoring in former injuries and changes to their lineup for the upcoming season.
Injury projections can challenge the BPI's accuracy; while it excels in predicting performance, it remains wary of the unpredictable nature of player health.
The BPI ranks teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards higher than traditional models, attributing this to their expected competitive strategies over tanking.
