NBA Grade Movers — Biggest Recent Grade Changes | FanVerdicts

An NBA season turns fast, and so do our grades. A trade, an extension, or a two-week hot streak can reshape a player’s verdict in a single refresh. This page tracks those swings — who is rising and who is fading.

The Contract Value Index (CVI), our flagship contract-value grade, leads the board, because nowhere does value shift faster than when money meets a changing role. Impact and performance movers follow, catching the trends the standings have started to reflect.

It is a momentum read, not a ranking: less about where a player sits and more about which way he is trending.

Movers compare each player's two most recent grade snapshots over the last 30 days. We show how far the letter grade moved, never the underlying number. New deals and stat updates feed the next refresh.

How grade movers are tracked

Every time our pipeline regrades a NBA player, it logs a snapshot. A mover is a player whose latest snapshot lands in a different letter tier than the one before it. We surface the largest tier swings — up and down — across the Contract Value Index and Performance grades. Grades shift as new games, contracts, and context arrive. Read the full methodology.
