Field notes
For each game, the page weights every player’s rating by minutes to estimate a team rating in points per 100 possessions, then compares the predicted margin with the final margin. Players below 250 minutes in 2025–26—including rookies—receive a fixed -2.0 rating across metrics. Unranked reference rows include same-game RAPM, the average of all metrics, last season’s RAPM, and two floors; input dates are labeled by how they were established.
