- A toss-up for the model: 26 52.6% · 7 47.4%.
- In games: out of 10 like this one, 26 would win 5 and 7 5.
Confidence
low
- The model has it close to 50-50: either result would be normal.
- The model reads results only: it knows nothing of rosters, absences, rest or the market.
Why
- The model looks at only two things: each team's strength from its results (with memory of previous seasons) and home court.
- Home court is worth 4.7 probability points to 26.
- 7 comes in with more strength from results (1482 vs 1467 strength points): that moves 2.1 points toward 7.

What could flip it
- The model does not read the injury report and has no players inside it: an absence would change the game without changing this number. There is no calculation saying by how much.
- What the model does not look at and this number does not capture: rest and travel, the day's injury report, the starting five and recent form.
Uncertainty
- The model gives a number, not a band: its reliability is measured by comparing forecasts with results, not by drawing a margin.
- It does not know injuries, rest, travel or the starting five: any of them can move this game without the number changing.
- Over 1,519 games in 2025–2026 it did better than home court alone (Brier error 0.240 versus 0.248; 0 would be perfect).

How it is measured and limits
Model
SportiveWorld's results-based game model (Elo), evaluated out of sample in this competition: it reads each team's strength from its results, with memory of previous seasons, and home-court advantage. It knows nothing of rosters, absences or rest.
Data is up to date.
Sample · No settled games yet to measure it against.
Injuries · The model has no players inside it: it reads no absences, rosters or lineups; results only.
- · Strength computed after the latest result consumed (2026-03-28).
