60%PORchance to win
TOR · 40.0%60.0% · POR
  • POR starts with a 60.0% chance to win; TOR with 40.0%.
  • In games: out of 10 like this one, POR would win 6 and TOR 4.

Confidence

medium
  • Research-stage model: shown as what it said before tip-off, not as an advantage.
  • The model does not know this game's injuries or starting five.

Why

  • The model looks at only two things: each team's accumulated season strength and home court.
  • Home court is worth 4.6 probability points to TOR.
  • POR comes in with the stronger accumulated season form: that moves 14.6 points toward POR.

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.
  • For reference, the pre-tip market consensus gave TOR 43.0%.

this game's error
  • Expected: POR at 60.0%.
  • Actual: TOR 82 – POR 79. TOR won.
  • The model picked the wrong side.
  • This game's error: 0.36 (0 = nailed it, 1 = worst possible; a 50% call would score 0.25).
  • The market consensus (43.0% on the winner) also picked the wrong side.

  • Over 49 settled games with this model: it picked the right side 76% of the time and its average error (Brier) was 0.172. When it said X%, reality was on average 12 points away from that X%.
  • On those same games, the market consensus had less error (0.169 versus 0.172): the model does not beat it, and we say so.
  • 49 games is a small sample: these numbers still move a lot.

How it is measured and limits

Model

SportiveWorld's WNBA game model, research stage: it reads each team's accumulated season strength and home-court advantage. Shown as what it said before tip-off, not as an edge.

This is the preview saved before the game, not current data.

Sample · Measured against 49 settled games.

Injuries · Availability known before tip-off: an injury report existed and was read (it does not enter the number).

  • · What you see is the preview sealed before the game, not a later recalculation.
  • · 49 games is a small sample: these numbers still move a lot.
