Covers Preview - The Houston Rockets have no idea who they’ll be facing in the first round of the playoffs and coach Kevin McHale doesn’t even think it matters. “Whoever we play, we will not be favored,” McHale told reporters. “We’ll be underdogs to whoever we play. That’s fine with us. We want to get in there and get the guys playing well.” While the Rockets face steep odds in the postseason, they’ll be solid favorites Monday when they visit the lowly Phoenix Suns.

See All Rankings Power Ratings compute offensive and defensive statistics into one number for each team, while accounting for factors like recent performances and strength of schedule. Power Ratings can be used as a baseline for relative moneyline index to compare current or future match-ups between two teams. The relative moneyline does not account for non-statistical factors like home-ice advantage, recent injuries, game time decisions, rivalries, and publicity.

MAR	The ATS Margin is the number of points between the spread and the margin of victory. For example, if the Knicks were 10-point favorites over the Cavaliers and ended up winning by 20, then the ATS Margin would be 10. If the Knicks had won by 5 points, on the other hand, the ATS margin would be -5. The results are color coded to judge the severity of the final result versus the spread. 20+ ATS Win 15-19 ATS Win 10-14 ATS Win 20+ ATS Loss 15-19 ATS Loss 10-14 ATS Loss ATS Margins that fall in the single digits are not color coded.
