  • In games: out of 10 like this one, SAS would win 7 and DAL 3.

Confidence

medium
  • No game forecast has been checked against a result yet this season: confidence cannot be high until there are some.
  • The model does not know this game's injuries or starting five.

Why

  • Home court is worth 7.2 probability points to DAL.
  • SAS's projected roster is stronger: 3rd in the league versus DAL's 24th. That moves 26.8 points toward SAS.
  • Who carries DAL: Cooper Flagg · Santi Aldama · Daniel Gafford.
  • DAL has 2,726 season minutes unassigned (14%); the model counts them at replacement level.
  • Who carries SAS: Victor Wembanyama · De'Aaron Fox · Dylan Harper.
  • SAS has 1,178 season minutes unassigned (6%); the model counts them at replacement level.

What could flip it

  • Without Cooper Flagg (DAL), with his minutes at replacement level, the model would give SAS 73.4%.SAS 73%
  • Without Victor Wembanyama (SAS), with his minutes at replacement level, the model would give SAS 52.8%.SAS 53%
  • 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.
  • Over 10,749 games in 2017-2025 it did better than home court alone (Brier error 0.227 versus 0.247; 0 would be perfect).
  • Rosters are not settled: the forecast is recomputed daily with that day's roster.
  • It does not know injuries, rest, travel or the starting five: any of them can move this game without the number changing.

  • No forecasts have been settled this season yet: this model's calibration starts being measured with the first games (2026-10-20). Until then, its track record is historical: 10,749 games from 2017-2025.

How it is measured and limits

Model

SportiveWorld's game model, frozen before the season: it reads each roster's projected strength and home-court advantage. It does not read the day's injury report.

Data is up to date.

Sample · No settled games yet to measure it against.

Injuries · The model does not read the day's injury report: the rosters it uses are the season projections.

  • · Rosters are not settled yet: the number can move until the season starts.
