◼️⭕️Recently analyzed that Real Madrid is the #1 team in Rebound % this EuroLeague season. But how dependent are they on Tavares? 🖇️linked chart 🔹 Defensive Rebounding → Clearly a team strength Most forwards & centers are above league average. 🔸 Offensive Rebounding → More centralized impact Tavares stands out as the main driver … but Garuba & Okeke add major support. Dominant rebounding isn’t only size, it is roles structure collective presence. 👉 Rebound %: It is the ratio between rebounds grabbed by the player to the total rebounds can grab. Therefore, the opponent’s total rebounds are taken into account to calculate the total "grabbable" rebounds. #EuroLeague #BasketballAnalytics #Rebounding #AdvancedStats #Figurei8ht #realmadrid #F4GLORY

🚀 The offensive ceiling in EuroLeague is rising. This season delivered the highest team Offensive Rating in the last 5 years. 🔴 Olympiacos: 122.6 ORTG (‘25–26) | 6.0 vs. season average Recent benchmarks: 122.1 🟢 Panathinaikos (‘24–25) | 6.2 vs. season avg 121.8 ⚫️ Partizan (‘22–23) | 7.5 vs. season avg 121.5 🔵 Anadolu Efes (‘24–25) | 5.6 vs. season avg Elite offense is no longer rare — it’s becoming the standard. 👉 Offensive Rating (ORTG): It is the team’s offensive efficiency value. It gives an estimate of the points made by a team per 100 possessions. #EuroLeague #BasketballAnalytics #AdvancedStats #HoopsAnalytics #Figurei8ht #olympiacosbc

👨🏾‍💻 Josh Hart is the most interesting matchup vs Philly on both ends because they can’t afford to put a wing on KAT and cross match. Atlanta tried it and got smoked.

🟢 Sloukas’ injury matters — and this is why. Panathinaikos loses elite playmaking possessions. Those touches now shift to Nunn, TJ Shorts, Grant & Osman. NH Davis (not in the sample below) in playmaking from the low post is also key. This scatter shows Assist/TO ratio vs Possessions — More to come. In collaboration and big thanks to my friend @hoopologyxx #EuroLeague #paobc #Sloukas #AdvancedStats #Figurei8ht #F4GLORY

Most people misunderstand how injuries actually destroy player value. If V′′(x)>0V''(x) > 0V′′(x)>0, the value curve is concave up — meaning the damage is real, but it slows down over time. Early injuries hurt a LOT more than later ones. Going from 0 → 100 days missed? That can completely reset how teams view a player: durability concerns, contract risk, future projections all get rewritten overnight. But 200 → 300 days missed? Still bad — just not as surprising. The market has already priced in a lot of the downside. That’s the key idea: 📉 Value keeps dropping 📉 But each new injury hurts less than the last Economically, it’s “diminishing marginal damage.” The first red flags change everything. Later ones mostly confirm what people already believe. In sports economics, the biggest valuation shock isn’t injury #5 — it’s injury #1. #SportsAnalytics #Economics #DataScience #BasketballAnalytics #FootballAnalytics #SportsEconomics #InjuryAnalysis #AdvancedStats

Shamet complements that with elite catch-and-shoot gravity (41.5% C&S 3P%, 45.3% wide-open), high-volume spacing (8.3 3PA), and strong efficiency (60.1% TS%) while maintaining positive impact metrics like 0.6 RAPM and 8.3 on-court net rating. Together, they balance creation and spacing. Clarkson generates shots, Shamet punishes help defense and that combination stabilizes bench offense with consistent efficiency and floor spacing. #newyorkforever #SNYK #NYKx #NYK #LandryShamet #NBA #NBATwitter #BasketballTwitter #Knicks #NYC #NewYorkKnicks #ThreePointShooter #jordanclarkson #EliteShooter #Spacing #FloorSpacing #AdvancedStats #RAPM #DPM #ORAPM #DRAPM #NetRating

The shooting versatility (36.9% C&S 3s, 40.7% wide open 3s) forces defenses to guard him everywhere, opening up his inside game and play finishing (1.37 PPP roll-man, 1.41 PPP cuts, 1.31 PPP as a handler).

🗽 New York Knicks: 49–28 🇩🇴 KAT vs 🐻 Grizzlies 🇩🇴 20 Points | 8/12 FG (66.7%) 🇩🇴 8/12 2P (66.7%) | 0/0 3P (0%) 🇩🇴 4/5 FT (80%) 🇩🇴 11 Rebounds (6 OREB | 5 DREB) 🇩🇴 11 Assists | 7 Turnovers 🇩🇴 0 Steals | 1 Block 🇩🇴 5 Fouls Drawn | 3 Fouls 🇩🇴 29.5 MIN | 5 /− 🇩🇴 70.4 TS% | 66.7 eFG% 🧾 Reasons Why Knicks Won: 🗒️ Mikal Bridges added 24 points as the New York Knicks snapped their 3-game losing streak 🗒️ Knicks came out hot, missed just 2 of their first 15 shots. Dominated early with 22 points in the paint and an 11-2 rebounding edge in the 1st quarter. Shot 71% from the field and 7/10 from three in the first half, took a 79-62 lead into halftime 🗒️ The 79 first-half points were a season-high for New York and just shy of the 83 they dropped in a half vs Minnesota earlier this season. Memphis Grizzlies got crushed on the glass 49-20, with those 20 rebounds being a franchise low 🗒️ Grizzlies made a push and cut it to 90-87 in the 3rd, but Knicks responded and pushed it back to 99-90 going into the 4th 🗒️ Memphis bench gave them nothing, Bal, Mashack, Burton, Clayton Jr and Jarreau combined for a brutal -77 #Knicks #NewYorkKnicks #NYK #KnicksNation #NBA #NBATwitter #Basketball #Hoops #KnicksWin #MikalBridges #DefenseWins #SNYK #Rebounding #BoxScore #NYKx #AdvancedStats #DataBallr #DraftBallr #SNYK #EastStandings #NYC #NY
