SEA · 45.4%54.6% · TOR
- A toss-up for the model: SEA 45.4% · TOR 54.6%.
- In games: out of 10 like this one, TOR would win 5 and SEA 5.
Confidence
low
- The model has it close to 50-50: either result would be normal.
- 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 SEA.
- TOR comes in with the stronger accumulated season form: that moves 9.2 points toward TOR.
What weighs most

probability points
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 SEA 68.6%.

this game's error
- Expected: TOR at 54.6%.
- Actual: SEA 90 – TOR 78. SEA won.
- The model picked the wrong side.
- This game's error: 0.30 (0 = nailed it, 1 = worst possible; a 50% call would score 0.25).
- The market consensus did get the side right (68.6% on the winner).
- What we learn: it was a coin flip for the model; the result says little about it.

average deviation (ECE)
- Over 47 settled games with this model: it picked the right side 74% of the time and its average error (Brier) was 0.173. When it said X%, reality was on average 13 points away from that X%.
- On those same games, the market consensus had less error (0.172 versus 0.173): the model does not beat it, and we say so.
- 47 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 47 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.
- · 47 games is a small sample: these numbers still move a lot.
