Last week, the NBA released their new schedule for the eight-game period before the playoffs in their Orlando restart. As was to be expected, there was a lot of conversation surrounding the schedules: who had the strongest, who had the weakest, who’s was the best, so we decided to rank them based on a points system I developed.
Essentially, the points system is a dumbed-down version of the NBA’s strength of schedule, which took three factors into consideration: a team’s record against their opponents, the number of playoff teams in each team’s schedule, and where the team ranked in the standings.
