The model's Strong NBA picks, strongest first. Each card is the same as on the full NBA page, and every pick is graded on the accuracy page.
โ
Preseason game: teams rest starters and rotate lineups, so these probabilities are less reliable than regular-season picks. Preseason results do not change team ratings.

Early in the season, the model is still calibrating. Form data needs 5 games per team before it carries weight, so predictions lean on Elo for now and are less reliable through each team's first 10 games.
