The 2017-18 NBA season will start in less than one month, which means previews and predictions are on the way. ESPN did this for the San Antonio Spurs in August and September, with a prediction for where they will finish in the Western Conference and the league, in general. This had them fall behind the Houston Rockets.
On Wednesday, ESPN released another part of their NBA preview, the Preseason BPI. It’s ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the “best predictor of a team’s performance for the rest of the season.”
The Spurs ranked third overall at +4.
