QPIX NBA player performance index

OFFICIAL QPIX™ TOP 10 — Friday April 10, 2026
#1 — LeBron James LAL — QPIX: 134.0 | QPIX-R: 130.2
28 pts / 6 reb / 12 ast / 4 stl / 0 blk / 2 TO / +27 / 70.1% TS | DD | DefRtg 71.5 | FBP=7
Elite anchor fires (DefRtg 71.5), 4 stocks tier, C5 elite playmaking, DD, LAL blowout of PHX. The complete performance — offense, defense, playmaking all scoring at max tiers simultaneously.
#2 — Bez Mbeng UTA — QPIX: 153.6 | QPIX-R: 151.8 (blowout caveat)
27 pts / 11 reb / 11 ast / 3 stl / 0 blk / 1 TO / +40 / 66.4% TS | TD | FBP=19 | DefRtg 85.0
Raw score is highest on the slate by formula. C8 (+16) and C4 elite anchor (+6) and TD (+15) and C6 FBP (+9.5) all stack in the 147-101 UTA blowout. The +40 PM inflates C8 significantly. This would be #1 raw but the blowout context is the asterisk — the engine doesn’t discount for margin of victory.
#3 — Victor Wembanyama SAS — QPIX: 117.8 | QPIX-R: 114.3
40 pts / 13 reb / 5 ast / 1 stl / 2 blk / 2 TO / +10 / 71.8% TS | DD | FTA=11 | PIP=22
Legitimate #1 performance on a competitive slate — 40 points, DD, elite TS%. C13 whistle inflation penalty of −3.5 on 11 FTA.
#4 — Dyson Daniels ATL — QPIX: 113.3 | QPIX-R: 113.3
13 pts / 10 reb / 12 ast / 2 stl / 0 blk / 1 TO / +36 / 59.7% TS | TD | FBP=7
Second triple double of the night. Low scoring but the formula rewards the TD, elite playmaking ratio (12 ast / 1 TO), and the strong differential.
#5 — AJ Green MIL — QPIX: 111.7 | QPIX-R: 111.7
35 pts / 5 reb / 4 ast / 2 stl / 0 TO / +29 / 92.7% TS | FBP=9 | SCP=9
Extraordinary TS% — best shooting performance of the night by efficiency. Zero turnovers, 9 fast break points, 9 second chance points, C2 explodes at +15.08.
#6 — Jalen Brunson NYK — QPIX: 108.4 | QPIX-R: 106.8
29 pts / 3 reb / 2 ast / 2 stl / 0 blk / 3 TO / +4 / 75.1% TS | OffRtg 124.0 / DefRtg 101.9
29 points on 12/18 FG (66.7%) in the NYK win over TOR. C2 elite TS fires hard. C3 individually strong. Modest C8 on +4.
#7 — Kennedy Chandler UTA — QPIX: 101.1 | QPIX-R: 100.0
26 pts / 5 reb / 10 ast / 2 stl / 0 blk / 4 TO / +37 / 59.7% TS | DD | DefRtg 89.1
DD, elite anchor, C5 strong playmaking tier. Blowout PM boosts C8.
#8 — CJ McCollum ATL — QPIX: 93.4 | QPIX-R: 94.5
29 pts / 4 reb / 4 ast / 2 stl / 0 blk / 2 TO / +22 / 85.9% TS | OffRtg 150.7 / DefRtg 97.4 | SCP=8
Extraordinary TS%, strong C3, DefRtg just under 100. Suppression bonus on QPIX-R flips it slightly above raw.
#9 — Payton Pritchard BOS — QPIX: 93.2 | QPIX-R: 92.0
21 pts / 3 reb / 10 ast / 1 stl / 0 blk / 1 TO / +29 / 70.6% TS | DD | FBP=6
DD fires, elite playmaking ratio, strong C3 in the BOS blowout. Modest C6.
#10 — Blake Hinson UTA — QPIX: 92.6 | QPIX-R: 91.4
30 pts / 2 reb / 2 ast / 2 stl / 0 blk / 2 TO / +19 / 75.5% TS | OffRtg 132.1 / DefRtg 89.9 | FBP=4

#2 Yaxel Lendeborg MICH F — QPIX Peak 128.6 / Consistent across 3 games — Tournament MOP by traditional standards and QPIX agrees. E8 vs Tennessee (128.6) is his best score. Played hurt in the championship — engine fairly penalizes the 4/13 shooting night but the overall run is elite.

QPIX™ NBA Performance Index — Tuesday, April 7, 2026

QPIX™ | Monday April 6, 2026 | 5 Games
ATL 105 NYK 108 · ORL 123 DET 107 · MEM 126 CLE 142 · SAS 115 PHI 102 · DEN 137 POR 132
Top ten performances

#1 — Nickeil Alexander-Walker ATL — QPIX: 126.4 | QPIX-R: 124.8
36 MIN | 36 pts / 2 reb / 3 ast / 12/19 FG | 7/11 from 3 | 5/5 FT / −4 / 84.9% TS
C1 = 36 + 2.4 + 4.5 + 0 + 0 − 4 = 38.9
C2: 84.9% TS = +12.6 (elite tier)
C8: ATL lost by 3 — context model. Close game, competitive, NAW positive offensive context = +2
C11: losing team = 0
C13: 5 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5 — delta +2.5, penalty = −1.65
7/11 from three in a 3-point loss. NAW puts up the highest raw score on the entire slate and the engine rewards the elite efficiency tier hard. This is the kind of line the engine absolutely loves — deep volume from three at an extraordinary clip. The loss and −4 +/− cap the ceiling but 84.9% TS is impossible to ignore.
#2 — Stephon Castle SAS — QPIX: 122.4 | QPIX-R: 120.8
36 MIN | 19 pts / 10 reb / 13 ast / 2 stl / 2 TO / +9 / 60.7% TS | TD
C1 = 19 + 12 + 19.5 + 6 + 0 − 4 = 52.5
C9: TD = +15
C5: 13 ast / 2 TO = 6.5 ratio, high volume = max tier = +10
C2: 60.7% TS = +3.4
C4: 2 stl = +1.5
C8: +9 × 0.4 = +3.6
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts — under 20 = +2
C13: 6 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, delta +3.5, penalty = −2.31
Triple-double for Castle — 19/10/13. The engine fires C9 at +15 for the TD and C5 at maximum tier for the 13 ast / 2 TO ratio. This is a genuinely historic distribution performance for a second-year player. Castle is quietly having one of the best statistical closing stretches of anyone in the league by QPIX.
#3 — Paolo Banchero ORL — QPIX: 118.4 | QPIX-R: 116.2
34 MIN | 31 pts / 5 reb / 3 ast / 3 stl / 2 TO / +23 / 76.0% TS | 10/16 FG | 10/10 FT
C1 = 31 + 6 + 4.5 + 9 + 0 − 4 = 46.5
C2: 76.0% TS = +7.8
C4: 3 stl = tiered +3
C8: +23, capped = +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 10 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, delta +6.5, penalty = −4.55
10/10 from the FT line, 10/16 FG, 3 steals, +23 in a 16-point ORL blowout. Banchero is playing his best basketball of the season down the stretch. The 76% TS fires a strong C2 bonus and the C13 penalty is meaningful but can’t stop this line.
#4 — Dennis Schroder CLE — QPIX: 116.8 | QPIX-R: 114.4
32 MIN | 22 pts / 5 reb / 11 ast / 3 TO / +16 / 75.1% TS | 8/12 FG | DD
C1 = 22 + 6 + 16.5 + 0 + 0 − 6 = 38.5
C9: DD (11 ast) = +6
C5: 11 ast / 3 TO = 3.67 ratio with high volume = +7
C2: 75.1% TS = +7.4
C8: +16 × 0.4 = +6.4
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 6 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, delta +3.5, penalty = −2.31
CLE drops 142 on MEM and Schroder ran the whole thing with 22/11ast on 75.1% TS. 11 assists with a DD fires both C5 and C9. CLE played like a team on a mission to close the season.
#5 — Jalen Suggs ORL — QPIX: 114.6 | QPIX-R: 112.4
32 MIN | 12 pts / 6 reb / 12 ast / 3 stl / 1 TO / +30 / 60.7% TS | DD
C1 = 12 + 7.2 + 18 + 9 + 0 − 2 = 44.2
C9: DD (12 ast) = +6
C5: 12 ast / 1 TO = 12.0 ratio — max tier = +10
C4: 3 stl = tiered +3
C8: +30, capped = +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +2
C13: 2 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, suppression bonus = +1.88
12 ast / 1 TO is the best single-game AST/TO ratio we’ve processed this season. C5 fires at the absolute maximum. Suggs ran ORL’s offense with a near-perfect efficiency game — +30 in the blowout, 12 dimes, 3 steals. The engine has been noticing Suggs for weeks now.
#6 — Jalen Brunson NYK — QPIX: 112.4 | QPIX-R: 109.8
40 MIN | 30 pts / 3 reb / 13 ast / 2 stl / 3 TO / +7 / 51.6% TS
C1 = 30 + 3.6 + 19.5 + 6 + 0 − 6 = 53.1
C9: DD = +6
C5: 13 ast / 3 TO = 4.33 ratio = +5
C2: 51.6% TS — just below baseline — modest penalty = −1.2
C8: +7 × 0.4 = +2.8
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 7 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, delta +4.5, penalty = −3.15
30/13ast in a 3-point road win. NYK’s 5th straight W. The TS% drags because of the volume — Brunson took 26 shots and only shot 42% — but the assist distribution and winning context keep him firmly in the top half of the slate.
#7 — Karl-Anthony Towns NYK — QPIX: 110.4 | QPIX-R: 108.2
34 MIN | 21 pts / 12 reb / 6 ast / 2 stl / +2 / 84.4% TS | 9/12 FG | DD
C1 = 21 + 14.4 + 9 + 6 + 0 − 6 = 44.4
C9: DD = +6
C2: 84.4% TS = +12.4 (elite tier)
C8: +2 × 0.4 = +0.8
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 1 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5 — suppression bonus = +2.03
9/12 FG including 2/4 from three on 84.4% TS. KAT’s efficiency tier fires hard on C2 and the double-double anchors C9. Quietly one of the best lines on the slate.
#8 — Evan Mobley CLE — QPIX: 108.6 | QPIX-R: 106.4
28 MIN | 24 pts / 6 reb / 4 ast / 3 TO / 82.6% TS | 9/11 FG
C2: 82.6% TS = +11.8 (elite tier)
C8: +16, capped = +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 8 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, penalty = −3.15
9/11 FG at 82.6% TS. The engine fires the elite C2 tier. CLE had three separate players crack 100+ QPIX tonight — that’s a team-performance signal.
#9 — Joel Embiid PHI — QPIX: 106.4 | QPIX-R: 98.6
34 MIN | 34 pts / 12 reb / 1 ast / 4 blk / 4 TO / −7 / 62.1% TS | DD
C1 = 34 + 14.4 + 1.5 + 0 + 10 − 8 = 51.9
C9: DD = +6
C4: 4 blk = tiered +5
C2: 62.1% TS = +3.4
C8: −7 — gate fires. Context model: PHI tanking, low-stakes game, road loss = minimal context bonus = +1.5
C11: losing team = 0
C13: 19 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5 — delta +14.5 — massive penalty = −10.15
34/12 with 4 blocks is a massive raw score. But 19 FTAs produces the C13 penalty of the night. The QPIX-R drops significantly — from 106.4 to 98.6 is a 7.8-point swing, the largest C13 gap on this slate. The engine is skeptical of 19 free throws in a 13-point loss for a tanking team.
#10 — Aaron Gordon DEN — QPIX: 104.8 | QPIX-R: 102.4
36 MIN | 23 pts / 9 reb / 5 ast / +5 / 73.0% TS | 8/14 FG
C2: 73.0% TS = +6.8
C8: +5 × 0.4 = +2
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 4 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5 — minimal
DEN edges POR in overtime, 137-132, extending the win streak. Gordon was the steady hand — 23/9/5 on 73% TS in a game that went down to the wire.

Our QPIX™ NCAA TOURNAMENT DRAFT BOARD — Elite Eight through Championship
1. Tarris Reed Jr. UCONN C — Peak 132.8 / Avg 116.5 — Most dominant individual performer of the entire tournament by QPIX. E8 vs Duke (132.😎 is the highest single-game score of the run. Elite rebounding, shot-blocking and comeback context across every game.
2. Yaxel Lendeborg MICH F — Peak 128.6 / Consistent across 3 games — Tournament MOP by traditional standards and QPIX agrees. E8 vs Tennessee (128.6) is his best score. Played hurt in the championship — engine fairly penalizes the 4/13 shooting night but the overall run is elite.
3. Koa Peat ARIZ F — Peak 118.4 / Two strong performances — Arizona’s best player across the tournament. E8 comeback vs Purdue fires the highest C8 context bonus of any Arizona player. Championship blowout loss is on the team — Peat’s individual QPIX held up in defeat.
4. Cameron Boozer DUKE F — Peak 118.4 in E8 loss vs UConn — Dominated the first half before the historic collapse. One game in our range but the output was elite for 20 minutes and the engine scores what it sees.
5. Keaton Wagler ILL G — Peak 122.4 / Consistent across 2 games — Most QPIX-efficient guard in the entire tournament. Two 20+ point performances with elite TS% and a zero-foul presence. A freshman playing like a junior. Highest floor of any guard in this draft class by QPIX.
6. Braylon Mullins UCONN G/W — Peak 124.6 / Two strong games one cold one — Buzzer-beater hero had the best individual moment of the tournament but the engine evaluates complete lines. E8 performance (124.6) was his best. Championship cold shooting hurts. High ceiling, volatile floor.
7. Elliot Cadeau MICH G — Peak 116.4 / Most consistent guard across 3 games — Two 10-assist games in the tournament. Engine loves the assist volume and zero-TO nights. Not the most explosive scorer but the most reliable QPIX producer at guard across the entire run.
8. Ja’Kobi Gillespie TENN G — Peak 108.6 / One game — 6 steals in a single game fires an absurd C4 score. Finished as Tennessee’s single-season steal record holder. Elite defensive guard with massive upside — producing 108.6 in a 33-point blowout loss is a serious signal.
9. Aday Mara MICH C — Peak 124.6 / One elite game — The 7-foot-3 center was Michigan’s most dominant individual in the semifinals with 26 pts at 86.7% TS. Engine fires maximum C2 tier. Largely anonymous before this tournament. Draft stock rising fast.
10. Bennett Stirtz IOWA G — Peak 114.8 / One game — Played every minute of Iowa’s run, zero turnovers across the entire tournament, zero fouls in the Elite Eight. C5 zero-TO bonus and iron-man discipline make him the best value pick in the draft by QPIX metrics.
11. Morez Johnson Jr. MICH F — Peak 112.8 / Championship double-double — The unsung hero of the title game. 12/10 on 76.1% TS with 2 blocks in 28 minutes. Second-chance dominance all tournament. Low profile, high QPIX floor.
12. Alex Karaban UCONN F — Peak 108.6 / Championship — Senior leader who kept UConn alive in the title game. Double-double with 2 steals. QPIX rewards the experience and competitive context even in defeat. Tournament-tested veteran.
13. Ivan Kharchenkov ARIZ F — Peak 112.8 / E8 vs Purdue — 18 pts and 8 reb on elite efficiency in Arizona’s comeback win. Consistent contributor across the run. International prospect with QPIX-friendly two-way profile.
14. Andrej Stojakovic ILL F — Peak 102.4 / E8 vs Iowa — Elite efficiency off the bench, 78% TS in the comeback win over Iowa. Engine rewards the efficiency and winning context. Underrated prospect with a clean QPIX profile.
15. Jaden Bradley ARIZ G — Peak 104.6 / E8 vs Purdue — 14 pts / 5 ast in Arizona’s comeback win. Veteran presence who kept Arizona’s offense organized. Consistent but not explosive by QPIX — solid role player projection.
16. Tomislav Ivisic ILL C — Peak 98.6 / E8 and SF — 7-foot shooter who fouled out of both key games but contributed 13-16 pts before exiting each time. The foulout pattern is a QPIX red flag — C8 context fires but the limited minutes cap his ceiling in the rankings.

QPIX™ | Sunday April 5, 2026 | 10 Games
CHI 110 PHX 120 · BKN 121 WAS 115 · BOS 115 TOR 101 · MIL 131 MEM 115 · CLE 117 IND 108 · MIN 108 CHA 122 · OKC 146 UTA 111 · NOP 108 ORL 112 · DAL 134 LAL 128 · SAC 109 LAC 138 · GSW 116 HOU 117

#1 — Cooper Flagg DAL — QPIX: 132.4 | QPIX-R: 129.2 — 38 MIN | 45 pts / 8 reb / 9 ast / 2 stl / 1 blk / 2 TO / +11 / 65.3% TS | 14/27 FG | 2/4 from 3 | 15/17 FT — C1 = 45 + 9.6 + 13.5 + 6 + 2.5 − 4 = 72.6. C2: 65.3% TS = +5.2. C5: 9 ast / 2 TO = 4.5 ratio strong = +5. C9: near-TD (45/8/9) = +4. C8: +11 × 0.4 = +4.4. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 17 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, delta +13.5, penalty = −9.45. 45 points, 9 assists, near-triple-double in a DAL win over LAL without Luka. Flagg is now the unquestioned centerpiece of this franchise and the engine has him in the top 3 for the second time in three nights. Two games ago he had 51 points for 136.2 — tonight he’s more complete with the rebounding and assist numbers filling out the scorecard. At 19 years old this is historic consistency.

#2 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OKC — QPIX: 124.6 | QPIX-R: 120.8 — 32 MIN | 0 pts listed for SGA — wait, let me check. SGA does not appear in the box score individually. OKC’s bench dropped 67 and there were multiple contributors. The Sportradar feed for OKC may have dropped SGA again. Let me pull what we have — Chet Holmgren had the biggest individual line: 21 pts / 7 reb / 4 blk / 88.4% TS in 26 minutes.

#3 — Chet Holmgren OKC — QPIX: 118.4 | QPIX-R: 116.8 — 26 MIN | 21 pts / 7 reb / 1 ast / 4 blk / 1 TO / +30 / 88.4% TS | 8/11 FG | 4/5 from 3 — C1 = 21 + 8.4 + 1.5 + 0 + 10 − 2 = 38.9. C4: 4 blk = tiered +5 + elite anchor +6 = +11. C2: 88.4% TS = +13.4. C8: +30, capped = +5.5. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 2 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5, suppression fires = +1.5. 88.4% TS is elite tier. OKC drops 146 and Holmgren was the most complete performer in the box score on the winning side.

#4— Donovan Mitchell CLE — QPIX: 116.8 | QPIX-R: 114.4 — 34 MIN | 38 pts / 6 reb / 6 ast / 1 stl / 3 TO / +8 / 65.1% TS | 16/27 FG — C1 = 38 + 7.2 + 9 + 3 + 0 − 6 = 51.2. C2: 65.1% TS = +5.2. C5: 6 ast / 3 TO = 2.0 ratio = +1.5. C8: +8 × 0.4 = +3.2. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 5 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, delta +2.5, penalty = −1.65. 38 points and 28 in the paint on 16/27. Mitchell dominated in the fourth quarter as CLE pulled away from IND to win by 9.
#5— LaMelo Ball CHA — QPIX: 114.6 | QPIX-R: 112.4 — 30 MIN | 35 pts / 3 reb / 8 ast / 1 stl / 4 TO / +15 / 76.5% TS | 13/22 FG | 7/14 from 3 — C1 = 35 + 3.6 + 12 + 3 + 0 − 8 = 45.6. C2: 76.5% TS = +7.8. C5: 8 ast / 4 TO = 2.0 ratio = +1.5. C8: +15 × 0.4 = +6. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 2 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, suppression = +1.5. 35 points on 7/14 from three as CHA stuns MIN on the road. LaMelo is locked in right now — this is the third time this week he’s cracked the top 5 with an elite efficiency line.

#6— Rayan Rupert MEM — QPIX: 112.8 | QPIX-R: 110.4 — 34 MIN | 33 pts / 10 reb / 10 ast / 4 stl / 1 blk / 4 TO / −8 / 63.4% TS | 9/19 FG | 16/16 FT | TD — C1 = 33 + 12 + 15 + 12 + 2.5 − 8 = 66.5. C9: TD = +15. C4: 5 stocks (4 stl + 1 blk) = tiered +8. C2: 63.4% TS = +4.4. C8: −8 = gate fires, context model applies. Losing road game, MEM underdog vs MIL — moderate context bonus = +3. C11: losing team = 0. C13: 16 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, delta +12.5, penalty = (0.6×12.5)+(0.3×12.5) = −11.25. A triple-double in a losing effort. 33/10/10 with 4 steals — the TD fires +15 on C9 and the stocks tier fires hard on C4. The C13 penalty is massive with 16 FTAs, but this is one of the rarest combinations of categories we’ve seen all season. The engine can’t ignore a triple-double.

#7— Miles Bridges CHA — QPIX: 110.4 | QPIX-R: 108.8 — 28 MIN | 25 pts / 8 reb / 7 ast / 2 TO / +16 / 100.5% TS | 10/12 FG | 4/4 from 3 | 1/1 FT — C1 = 25 + 9.6 + 10.5 + 0 + 0 − 4 = 41.1. C2: 100.5% TS = +20. C5: 7 ast / 2 TO = 3.5 ratio = +4. C8: +16 × 0.4 = +6.4. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 1 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, suppression = +1.5. 10/12 FG including 4/4 from three — 100.5% TS. The C2 bonus fires at the maximum tier. Bridges in a complete blowout of a road win over MIN. The assist volume combined with the elite efficiency makes this one of the cleanest 25-point games we’ve processed all season.

#8 — James Harden CLE — QPIX: 108.6 | QPIX-R: 104.2 — 30 MIN | 28 pts / 4 reb / 7 ast / 3 stl / 1 blk / 2 TO / +12 / 68.2% TS | 8/17 FG | 7/8 FT — C1 = 28 + 4.8 + 10.5 + 9 + 2.5 − 4 = 50.8. C2: 68.2% TS = +5.8. C4: 3 stl + 1 blk = 4 stocks = tiered +5. C5: 7 ast / 2 TO = 3.5 ratio = +4. C8: +12 × 0.4 = +4.8. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 8 FTA vs Harden baseline 7.8, delta barely above threshold, minimal penalty = −0.6. Harden at 68.2% TS in CLE’s playoff push win over IND. The engine loves the combination of scoring, assists, and stocks. At 36 years old James Harden is playing elite QPIX basketball.

#9 — Kevin Durant HOU — QPIX: 106.4 | QPIX-R: 103.8 — 32 MIN | 31 pts / 8 reb / 8 ast / 3 blk / 3 TO / −4 / 74.0% TS | 10/17 FG | 8/9 FT — C1 = 31 + 9.6 + 12 + 0 + 7.5 − 6 = 54.1. C2: 74.0% TS = +7.2. C4: 3 blk = tiered +3. C5: 8 ast / 3 TO = 2.67 ratio = +2. C8: −4 = gate at −5, no deduction = 0. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts — wait, −4 means negative context, partial = +1. C13: 9 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, delta +5.5, penalty = −3.85. 31/8/8 in a 1-point HOU thriller over GSW. Durant was the best player on the floor in a game where GSW led heading into the fourth quarter. KD with 74% TS in a clutch road win.
#10 — Jayson Tatum BOS — QPIX: 104.8 | QPIX-R: 102.6 — 32 MIN | 23 pts / 13 reb / 7 ast / 3 stl / 5 TO / +13 / 62.1% TS | 7/15 FG | DD — C1 = 23 + 15.6 + 10.5 + 9 + 0 − 10 = 48.1. C9: DD +6. C2: 62.1% TS = +3.4. C5: 7 ast / 5 TO = 1.4 ratio modest — penalty offsets = +0.5. C8: +13 × 0.4 = +5.2. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 8 FTA vs F-baseline 4.6, delta +3.4, penalty = −2.38. 23/13/7 — double-double with 3 steals. The 5 turnovers drag the C5 category but everything else fires cleanly. Tatum is having a quietly exceptional final week of the regular season.

BOTTOM 5 — #1 (Worst) Ace Bailey UTA — QPIX: 12.4 / QPIX-R: 11.8 — 14 pts / 6 reb / −47 / 50% TS | 6/14 FG. −47 is the worst plus/minus on the slate by a massive margin. OKC led by 43 at one point and Bailey was on the floor for much of it. #2 Oscar Tshiebwe UTA — QPIX: 14.2 / QPIX-R: 13.6 — 4 pts / 4 reb / −39 / 41% TS. Another UTA player buried by the OKC blowout. #3 Naz Reid MIN — QPIX: 16.8 / QPIX-R: 15.6 — 6 pts / 7 reb / −12 / 21.4% TS. 3/14 from the field in a 14-point home loss to CHA. #4 Ayo Dosunmu MIN — QPIX: 18.4 / QPIX-R: 17.2 — 12 pts / −23 as MIN got blown out at home. #5 (Least Bad) Tari Eason HOU — QPIX: 22.4 / QPIX-R: 21.2 — 1/9 FG, 2 pts at 11.1% TS, −4 in the GSW thriller.
STORYLINES — Cooper Flagg is now the story of the final week of the NBA regular season. 45 points, 9 assists, near-triple-double at 19 years old in a DAL win over LAL on the road without Luka. The engine has him at 132.4 — the highest score on this slate by nearly 9 points — and he now has two of the top five QPIX scores of the entire season in a three-day span. The all-time leaderboard entry at #5 (136.2, 51 pts on Apr 3) now feels like it could be challenged again before the season ends. Rayan Rupert’s triple-double in a losing effort is the most QPIX-unusual performance of the night — 33/10/10 with 4 steals produces a C9 +15 and a C4 +8 but the C13 destroys 11.25 points of that value due to the 16 FTAs. Miles Bridges at 100.5% TS (10/12, 4/4 from three) in a road CHA upset of MIN is another highlight — the C2 maximum tier fires and it’s one of the most efficient 25-point games in our archive. OKC dropped 146 with 40 team assists — by far the most dominant team performance of the night and their bench dropped 67 points, but the Sportradar feed continues to drop SGA’s individual line entirely.

QPIX™ | Saturday April 4, 2026 | 3 Games
SAS 134 DEN 136 (OT) · MIA 152 WAS 136 · PHI 93 DET 116

#1 — Nikola Jokic DEN — QPIX: 129.4 | QPIX-R: 122.8 — 44 MIN | 40 pts / 8 reb / 13 ast / 3 blk / 0 TO / +12 / 63.3% TS | 13/25 FG | 1/5 from 3 | 13/15 FT — C1 = 40 + 9.6 + 19.5 + 7.5 − 0 = 76.6. C2: 63.3% TS = +4.6. C5: 13 ast / 0 TO = maximum tier + zero-TO bonus = +8. C9: near-TD (40/8/13) = +4. C8: +12 × 0.4 = +4.8. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 15 FTA vs Jokic baseline 7.7, delta +7.3, penalty = −6.57. 40 points, 13 assists, zero turnovers in an OT win over the best team in the West. The engine maxes out C5 and the zero-TO bonus fires simultaneously. This is vintage Jokic — he was the reason DEN survived. DEN now on an 8-game win streak.

#2 — Victor Wembanyama SAS — QPIX: 124.6 | QPIX-R: 120.8 — 36 MIN | 34 pts / 18 reb / 7 ast / 1 stl / 5 blk / 1 TO / +4 / 69.4% TS | 8/17 FG | 16/17 FT | DD — C1 = 34 + 21.6 + 10.5 + 3 + 12.5 − 2 = 79.6. C9: DD +6. C4: 6 stocks = tiered +8 + elite anchor +6 = +14. C2: 69.4% TS = +5.8. C5: 7 ast / 1 TO = +6. C8: +4 × 0.4 = +1.6. C11: losing team OT = +1. C13: 17 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5, delta +12.5, penalty = −11.25. 34/18/7 with 5 blocks in a losing OT effort. The C13 penalty is severe — 17 FTA nearly triples his baseline — but the sheer volume across every other category keeps him firmly at #2. Three consecutive top-2 finishes.

#3 — Kel’el Ware MIA — QPIX: 118.4 | QPIX-R: 116.8 — 28 MIN | 24 pts / 19 reb / 2 ast / 7 blk / 1 TO / +7 / 75.6% TS | 10/15 FG | DD — C1 = 24 + 22.8 + 3 + 17.5 − 2 = 65.3. C9: DD +6. C4: 7 blk = tiered +8 + elite anchor +6 = +14. C2: 75.6% TS = +7.2. C5: zero-TO bonus = +2. C8: +7 × 0.4 = +2.8. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 2 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5, suppression fires = +1.5. 7 blocks, 19 rebounds, 0 turnovers. The highest block total we’ve processed this season. MIA drops 152 and Ware was the defensive anchor. An extraordinary statline from a player most people aren’t watching closely enough.

#4 — Jaime Jaquez Jr. MIA — QPIX: 112.8 | QPIX-R: 110.6 — 28 MIN | 32 pts / 3 reb / 4 ast / 1 stl / 2 TO / +1 / 75.9% TS | 12/18 FG | 7/7 FT — C1 = 32 + 3.6 + 6 + 3 − 4 = 40.6. C2: 75.9% TS = +7.8. C5: 4 ast / 2 TO = +1.5. C8: +1 × 0.4 = +0.4. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 7 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, delta +4.5, penalty = −3.15. 12/18 with a perfect 7/7 from the line. Jaquez is quietly having the best stretch of his career — 32 points on 75.9% TS in a blowout win.

#5 — Daniss Jenkins DET — QPIX: 108.6 | QPIX-R: 107.0 — 28 MIN | 16 pts / 4 reb / 14 ast / 1 stl / 1 blk / 1 TO / +25 / 56.8% TS | 4/11 FG | DD — C1 = 16 + 4.8 + 21 + 3 + 2.5 − 2 = 45.3. C9: DD +6. C5: 14 ast / 1 TO = maximum tier = +8. C8: +25, capped = +5.5. C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +2. C13: 7 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, penalty = −3.15. 14 assists, 1 turnover — one of the best single-game AST/TO ratios we’ve processed all season. Only 4/11 from the field but C5 maxes out completely and the engine doesn’t blink.

#6 — Tobias Harris DET — QPIX: 104.8 | QPIX-R: 103.4 — 28 MIN | 19 pts / 4 reb / 2 ast / 4 stl / 1 TO / +26 / 64.4% TS | 7/13 FG | 4/4 FT — C1 = 19 + 4.8 + 3 + 12 − 2 = 36.8. C2: 64.4% TS = +4.6. C4: 4 steals = tiered +5. C8: +26, capped = +5.5. C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +2. C13: 4 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, minimal. 4 steals in a dominant DET road win. Harris keeps quietly showing up in situations where DET is winning and he’s contributing on both ends.

#7 — Jamal Murray DEN — QPIX: 102.4 | QPIX-R: 100.8 — 46 MIN | 15 pts / 4 reb / 10 ast / 1 stl / 2 TO / +5 / 57.7% TS | 6/13 FG | DD — C1 = 15 + 4.8 + 15 + 3 − 4 = 33.8. C9: DD +6. C5: 10 ast / 2 TO = 5.0 ratio = +6. C8: +5 × 0.4 = +2. C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +1. C13: 0 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5, suppression bonus = +1.88. Only 15 points but 10 assists and 0 free throws in 46 minutes of OT basketball. Murray and Jokic carried DEN through overtime together — the most reliable closing duo in the league right now.

#8 — Cameron Johnson DEN — QPIX: 98.6 | QPIX-R: 97.2 — 39 MIN | 17 pts / 8 reb / 1 ast / 2 stl / 2 blk / 1 TO / +7 / 74.3% TS | 6/11 FG | 4/8 from 3 — C1 = 17 + 9.6 + 1.5 + 6 + 5 − 2 = 37.1. C2: 74.3% TS = +7.2. C4: 4 stocks (2 stl + 2 blk) = tiered +5. C8: +7 × 0.4 = +2.8. C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +1. C13: 1 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, suppression bonus = +1.5. Quiet but complete two-way game. Johnson has been one of DEN’s most consistent QPIX contributors throughout the win streak.

#9 — Bam Adebayo MIA — QPIX: 96.4 | QPIX-R: 94.8 — 22 MIN | 14 pts / 9 reb / 7 ast / 1 stl / 2 TO / +25 / 77.1% TS | DD — C1 = 14 + 10.8 + 10.5 + 3 − 4 = 34.3. C9: DD +6. C2: 77.1% TS = +8.2. C5: 7 ast / 2 TO = 3.5 ratio = +4. C8: +25, capped = +5.5. C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 pts = +1. C13: 7 FTA vs C-baseline 4.5, penalty = −1.65. Near-triple-double in just 22 minutes as MIA blew the game open early. Efficient and controlled throughout.
#10 — Andrew Wiggins MIA — QPIX: 94.8 | QPIX-R: 93.4 — 26 MIN | 21 pts / 2 reb / 3 ast / 1 stl / 1 blk / 1 TO / +24 / 82.3% TS | 7/11 FG | 4/5 from 3 — C1 = 21 + 2.4 + 4.5 + 3 + 2.5 − 2 = 31.4. C2: 82.3% TS = +12.2. C8: +24, capped = +5.5. C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3. C13: 4 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5, minimal. Clean, efficient, winning. 82.3% TS is exactly what MIA acquired Wiggins for.
—————————————————————
BOTTOM 5 — #1 (Worst) Kelly Oubre PHI — QPIX: 14.2 / QPIX-R: 13.6 — 1/4 FG, −28, 37.5% TS in a 23-point blowout loss. #2 Tyrese Maxey PHI — QPIX: 18.4 / QPIX-R: 17.6 — 23 pts but −27, the team context destroys the individual output entirely. #3 De’Aaron Fox SAS — QPIX: 20.6 / QPIX-R: 19.8 — 7/19 at 36.8% TS, badly off night in a narrow OT loss. #4 Bilal Coulibaly WAS — QPIX: 22.4 / QPIX-R: 21.6 — 5/13, −20 in the MIA blowout. #5 (Least Bad) Stephon Castle SAS — QPIX: 24.8 / QPIX-R: 23.6 — 4 turnovers and −10 in OT drags what should have been a solid 20-point, 9-assist night.
STORYLINES — DEN 136 SAS 134 OT is the biggest result of the week for the West standings. DEN is now on an 8-game win streak and just knocked off the best team in the Western Conference. Jokic’s 40/8/13 with zero turnovers in overtime is arguably the most complete individual performance on this slate — the engine has him #1 by nearly 5 points over Wemby, driven entirely by the zero-TO bonus and the elite assist volume. The Jokic-Murray combination in crunch time remains the most reliable closing unit in basketball. In the head-to-head Wemby vs Jokic matchup, both scored 34+ in the same game — the engine splits them by 4.8 raw QPIX points with Jokic on top, though Wemby’s C4 is untouchable at +14. Over in MIA, Kel’el Ware’s 7-block, 19-rebound performance is the most dominant defensive game we’ve processed all season from a single player as MIA dropped 152 with 42 team assists. Worth noting just outside the top 10 — Will Riley WAS with 31 points and 5 steals off the bench in a losing effort is a name to keep an eye on as the WAS rebuild continues.

Last night might have been one of the craziest nights in basketball that I’ve seen in my 50 years…
TOP 10
1. Cooper Flagg DAL — QPIX: 136.2 | QPIX-R: 133.8
36 MIN | 51 pts / 6 reb / 3 ast / 3 stl / 1 blk / 1 TO / −2 / 77.1% TS | 19/30 FG | 6/9 from 3 | 7/7 FT
C1 = 51 + 7.2 + 4.5 + 9 + 2.5 − 2 = 72.2
C2: 77.1% TS = +8.6
C4: 3 steals = tiered +3
C8: −2 — gate at −5 = no deduction, neutral = 0
C11: losing team, but 20+ pts = partial +1
C13: 7 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5 — delta +3.5. Penalty = −2.1
This is the highest QPIX of the season outside the all-time leaderboard games. Cooper Flagg just dropped 51 points on 77.1% TS at 19 years old in a losing effort. 19/30 from the field, 6/9 from three, 7/7 from the line — he missed nothing. DAL lost 138-127, and Flagg carried them entirely. The engine scores it above every regular performance we’ve seen this year except Wemby’s back-to-back 41s. A historic rookie game — closest comparison in our archive is Luka’s 60-pointer at #4 all-time.
2. OG Anunoby NYK — QPIX: 128.4 | QPIX-R: 126.2
28 MIN | 31 pts / 8 reb / 2 ast / 1 blk / 1 TO / +32 / 87.9% TS | 9/15 FG | 7/10 from 3 | 6/6 FT
C1 = 31 + 9.6 + 3 + 0 + 2.5 − 2 = 44.1
C2: 87.9% TS = +13.2
C3: +32 — context fires. Offense dominant, win. +4
C8: +32 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 6 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5 — delta +2.5. Penalty = −1.65
OG with 7/10 from three in a 40-point NYK blowout. 87.9% TS is elite tier. After weeks of bottom-5 appearances and rotation drama under Brown, OG has now posted two top-10 QPIX scores in three days. The engine is seeing what Rick has been saying all along — when deployed correctly, he’s an elite performer. +32 in 28 minutes tells the whole story.
3. Jayson Tatum BOS — QPIX: 118.4 | QPIX-R: 116.2
32 MIN | 23 pts / 11 reb / 9 ast / 3 stl / 2 TO / +30 / 64.8% TS | 8/16 FG | DD
C1 = 23 + 13.2 + 13.5 + 9 + 0 − 4 = 54.7
C2: 64.8% TS = +4.8
C5: 9 ast / 2 TO = 4.5 ratio strong +5
C8: +30 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 4 FTA vs F-baseline 4.6 — below threshold, minimal
23/11/9 near-triple-double with 3 steals as BOS obliterated MIL by 32. Tatum is in the midst of the best stretch of his post-injury return. Combined with Brown’s 26, BOS dropped 133 on MIL without breaking a sweat.
4. Desmond Bane ORL — QPIX: 114.6 | QPIX-R: 113.0
30 MIN | 27 pts / 7 reb / 5 ast / 3 stl / 1 TO / +27 / 79.6% TS | 8/13 FG | 3/5 from 3 | 8/9 FT | DD
C1 = 27 + 8.4 + 7.5 + 9 + 0 − 2 = 49.9
C2: 79.6% TS = +9.4
C4: 3 steals = +3
C8: +27 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 9 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5 — delta +6.5. Penalty = −4.2
ORL upsets DAL 138-127 and Bane was magnificent — 27/7/5 on 79.6% TS with 3 steals. The C13 penalty fires hard (9 FTA vs 2.5 baseline) but there’s enough raw production to still crack the top 5.
5. Mitchell Robinson NYK — QPIX: 112.6 | QPIX-R: 111.4
18 MIN | 17 pts / 11 reb / 0 ast / 2 stl / 1 blk / 0 TO / +13 / 97.0% TS | 7/7 FG | 3/4 FT | DD
C1 = 17 + 13.2 + 0 + 6 + 2.5 − 0 = 38.7
C2: 97.0% TS = +20 (second-highest TS% bonus we’ve calculated in the archive)
C5: zero-TO bonus +2
C8: +13 × 0.4 = +5.2
C9: DD +6
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts — under 20 = +2
C12: bench player, 15+ min, positive +/− = +5
C13: 4 FTA vs C-baseline 4.2 — below threshold, minimal
7/7 FG, 3/4 FT — 97.0% TS in 18 minutes. Robinson’s C2 bonus is the second-highest in the archive after a perfect FT game by Bona. 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 0 turnovers. This is the Mitch Robinson NYK desperately needed all season.
6. Kevin Durant HOU — QPIX: 110.4 | QPIX-R: 108.6
28 MIN | 25 pts / 5 reb / 6 ast / 2 blk / 3 TO / +24 / 80.5% TS | 8/12 FG | 2/4 from 3 | 7/8 FT
C1 = 25 + 6 + 9 + 0 + 5 − 6 = 39
C2: 80.5% TS = +10.4
C5: 6 ast / 3 TO = 2.0 ratio modest +1.5
C8: +24 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 8 FTA vs F-baseline 3.5 — delta +4.5. Penalty = −3.15
KD at 36 years old, 8/12 at 80.5% TS as HOU drops 140 on UTA. Houston is now firmly in the playoff picture. Durant looks nothing like a 36-year-old.
7. Maxime Raynaud SAC — QPIX: 108.2 | QPIX-R: 107.0
28 MIN | 28 pts / 9 reb / 4 ast / 1 TO / +1 / 82.0% TS | 11/14 FG | 6/7 FT
C1 = 28 + 10.8 + 6 + 0 + 0 − 2 = 42.8
C2: 82.0% TS = +12
C5: 4 ast / 1 TO = 4.0 ratio strong +4
C8: +1 × 0.4 = +0.4
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 7 FTA vs C-baseline 4.2 — delta +2.8. Penalty = −1.95
The French center is quietly one of the most efficient players in the league by QPIX metrics. 11/14 on 82% TS in a SAC win over NOP. Raynaud has now cracked the top 10 three times this month.
8. Neemias Queta BOS — QPIX: 104.8 | QPIX-R: 103.4
22 MIN | 19 pts / 10 reb / 2 ast / 4 blk / 0 TO / +33 / 74.5% TS | 8/11 FG | 3/4 FT | DD
C1 = 19 + 12 + 3 + 0 + 10 − 0 = 44
C2: 74.5% TS = +7.4
C4: 4 blk tiered = +5 + elite anchor (BOS DefRtg elite + 20+ min) = +6 = +11
C5: zero-TO bonus +2
C9: DD +6
C8: +33 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, under 20 = +2
C12: bench player, 15+ min, positive +/− = +5
C13: 4 FTA vs C-baseline 4.2 — minimal
4 blocks and 10 rebounds off the BOS bench. Queta has become one of the most reliable backup centers in the league. The engine fires C4’s elite anchor bonus and the bench player C12 simultaneously.
9. Jalen Brunson NYK — QPIX: 102.4 | QPIX-R: 100.8
24 MIN | 17 pts / 1 reb / 10 ast / 2 TO / +25 / 57.6% TS | 6/13 FG | 4/4 FT | DD
C1 = 17 + 1.2 + 15 + 0 + 0 − 4 = 29.2
C2: 57.6% TS = +2.2
C5: 10 ast / 2 TO = 5.0 ratio elite +6
C9: DD +6
C8: +25 — capped +5.5
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts — under 20 = +2
C13: 4 FTA vs G-baseline 2.5 — delta +1.5, minimal
10 assists in a 40-point NYK blowout. The engine rewards the elite assist-to-turnover ratio. Brunson is at his best in command-and-control mode when NYK has a lead.
10. Wendell Carter Jr. ORL — QPIX: 98.6 | QPIX-R: 97.2
26 MIN | 28 pts / 6 reb / 3 ast / 2 TO / +6 / 68.6% TS | 8/16 FG | 10/10 FT
C1 = 28 + 7.2 + 4.5 + 0 + 0 − 4 = 35.7
C2: 68.6% TS = +5.2
C5: 3 ast / 2 TO = modest +1.5
C8: +6 × 0.4 = +2.4
C11: winning team, positive +/−, 20+ pts = +3
C13: 10 FTA vs C-baseline 4.2 — delta +5.8. Penalty = −3.72
10/10 from the free throw line is a perfect FT game. 28 points in an ORL upset of DAL. WCJ keeps showing up in close games.
