As @Neil_Paine talks about here, we also made a couple of important changes to our NBA projections this year. I'm going to simplify this a bit, but basically it comes down to PLAYER-BASED projections vs. TEAM-BASED projections. LONG DORKY THREAD 1/ https://t.co/8n1tUWeg0T — PolitiTweet.org

The Lakers are the most likely champions, although it's a fairly wide open year. Our projections assume that teams will need to rely more on their depth in the regular season because of COVID-19 complications, which could scramble the standings a bit. https://t.co/6AImvBFJqB — PolitiTweet.org

In the past, we've really used two ways to project NBA games. One is TEAM-BASED solely using team performance, e.g. via Elo ratings. Advantage: captures team "intangibles" (coaching, cohesion, recent form) Big disadvantage: doesn't account for player personnel changes. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
