nba firepower: the aim is to capture the overall offensive creation firepower each team has on a given night using the actual starting lineups. I’ve also calculated a defensive rating for every player, to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each particular matchup, measured in standard deviations above/below league average.

Key:
Team: Team name
Spread: Vegas spread
Guard vs D: offensive creation firepower for this team at Guard position, combined with opponent defensive rating at Guard position
Forward vs D: offensive creation firepower for this team at Forward position, combined with opponent defensive rating at Forward position
Center vs D: offensive creation firepower for this team at Center position, combined with opponent defensive rating at Center position
Team Adv: Overall team offensive creation firepower versus overall opponent team defense ability
Combo: Sum of team adv
Side Advantage: Difference between team adv
