Early in the season other teams' results barely move a team's chances, so the list is mostly its own games; by February the bubble and conference races make other games matter.

Defence is what opponents managed. For turnovers a high defence figure is good; for the others, low is good.

Luck so far

Wins against the pre-game chances
0.0 won, 0.5 expected (−0.5)
Opponents' three-point shooting
−2.4 points a game (they shot 38.5%, league 32.3%)
Opponents' free throws
0.0 points a game
Close games: by 5 or fewer, or overtime
0-1

Opponents' three-point shooting repeats little from one half of a season to the other (correlation 0.21), and their free throws even less (0.18), so a team living off either is likely to come back toward average. Positive numbers mean the luck has helped.
