Understanding the SRN view in the matchup card

SRN is the numeric breakdown view that scores a matchup using 6 factors. This guide explains what each row means and how to read the total.

On the Games page, each matchup card has two views you can toggle between: GAME and SRN. This blog focuses on the SRN view.

1What SRN is doing

SRN is a points-based model. Each factor adds or subtracts points for each team. Positive numbers help that team. Negative numbers hurt that team.

At the bottom, the Total is the sum of all 6 factors. If the home total is higher than the away total, SRN is leaning toward the home team.

2Factor-by-factor explanation

NET RATING

Season-long strength based on offensive rating minus defensive rating. Teams with a better net rating get a positive edge.

Formula

Net Rating = avg_offensive_rating − avg_defensive_rating

avg_offensive_rating = (points_scored / possessions) × 100 per game

avg_defensive_rating = (points_allowed / possessions) × 100 per game

INJURY IMPACT (Active Net)

The net rating lost due to players who are listed as Out or Doubtful. More missing impact means a bigger negative number.

Formula

Injury Impact = −SUM(avg_net_rating) for all players with status 'Out' or 'Doubtful'

Each injured player uses their avg_net_rating from season ratings. Only the latest injury report per player for that game date is used.

RECENT FORM (Last 10 Net)

Net rating over the last 10 completed games. This helps catch hot streaks and cold stretches.

Formula

Recent Form = AVG(net_rating) from game_possessions for the team's last 10 completed games before the current date

Uses completed games (game_status = 3) before today, ordered by date descending, limited to 10.

HOME COURT BONUS

A standard home advantage. The home team gets a positive number and the away team gets a negative number.

Formula

Home team:  Home Court Bonus = +3.0 Away team:  Home Court Bonus = −3.0

H2H AVG MARGIN

Average point margin in head-to-head games this season. Winning prior matchups by more points increases the edge.

Formula

H2H Avg Margin = SUM(margin_from_perspective) / number_of_H2H_games game_margin = home_score − away_score

For each completed head-to-head game, the margin is added or subtracted based on whether the current home team was home or away in that past game. The away team's value is the negation.

REST DAYS

Rest and fatigue. Teams with more rest can get a small boost.

Formula

Rest Days = today's date − date of team's most recent completed game

Finds the latest completed game before today for the team, then computes the day difference.
