March Madness Preview: Which NBA Teams Are Poised to Surprise—and Who’s Facing an Uphill Battle?
As the 2024-25 NBA season grinds on and the calendar inches closer to playoff tip-off, one question looms large: which teams are truly built to break through, and which are just putting on a show before the lights dim? Thankfully, we don’t have to rely on gut feelings or the usual noise—our trusty supercomputer, powered by the meticulous TRACR model, is here to cut through the chaos and deliver power rankings rooted firmly in data. This isn’t your typical armchair analysis; it’s a cold, hard look at performance metrics that account for league-wide contexts, strength of schedule, and every little nuance that might inflate or deflate a team’s true impact on the court.
TRACR strips away the hype and throws a sharp spotlight on how many points teams score or allow per 100 possessions, aligning offense and defense against the league average. So, when the dust settles, you’ll know which franchises are charging toward the promised land and which ones might just be fooling themselves. And as the month wears on, these rankings will evolve — because in the NBA, status is never set in stone.
Are you ready to see if your favorite squad is destined for glory or fading into the background noise? Let’s dive in and separate the pretenders from the contenders.
With the help of our supercomputer, weâre revealing our NBA power rankings based on our TRACR-powered season-long projections every month down the stretch of the 2024-25 season.
