Your provisional season order
Only teams in your completed duels are shown. More linked duels make the order more stable.
Why this order?
Each choice gives one team a head-to-head edge. DuelPredict ranks the largest connected group, then uses your original team order only to break exact ties. Extra duels connect more teams and make the result more stable.

How the 2026-27 NBA season predictor works
Build your 2026-27 NBA season prediction across 30 NBA teams. Every predictor receives the same 45 official duels; optional extra duels can refine the season order without changing the official Duel Rating.
The team that advances further through the Play-In Tournament and NBA playoffs wins each settled duel. If both teams finish at the same stage, the better regular-season result is the tiebreaker; an exact tie is a push.
Free season-prediction game. No betting, money, or prizes.

Hypothetical example
Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks
Suppose you pick the Boston Celtics. If Boston reaches the Eastern Conference Semifinals and New York exits in the First Round, your pick wins because Boston went further. New York having more regular-season wins would not reverse that outcome.
An illustration of the rules, not a forecast or a guaranteed official pairing.
What if both teams finish at the same stage?
For NBA teams at the same postseason stage, compare regular-season winning percentage. A team reaching the First Round ranks above one eliminated in the Play-In Tournament. Identical stages and winning percentages produce a push.
Season timing and entry deadline
The 2026-27 season prediction covers the regular season, Play-In Tournament and NBA playoffs through the Finals in 2027.
Official and extra picks lock at the first regular-season game. After the deadline, saved cards remain available for read-only review.
What does your season order mean?
Your NBA season order is a ranking derived from your head-to-head choices, not a projected win-loss record or a playoff bracket. It starts with teams connected by your completed duels. More linked picks can make that provisional order more stable; they do not guarantee a forecast is correct. Only decided official duels affect your Duel Rating.
