Of note:
If a team or its opponent is missing one of its most important players (determined by minutes per game) for a contest, that game is less important for ranking the teams compared to games in which both teams are at full strength.
Now, I don't know if ESPN has tweaked their BPI metric over the years, but if they haven't, then it looks like Yoeli being out would definitely be taken into consideration in their rankings. But I have no idea if they have removed that part of their metric or not.
