Game review
What happened
The Hawks beat the Wizards 120–105 on the road. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led them with 26 points, making 6 of 14 threes, and CJ McCollum added 15. For the Wizards, Anthony Davis had 26 points and 10 rebounds.
What the model got right
The model gave the Hawks a 55% chance on the road, mainly because of rest and form, even though the Wizards rated clearly stronger (93.7 to 83.3), and they won by 15. Recent form pointed the same way: the Hawks had been losing by 0.7 points a game, the Wizards losing by 4.7. Jalen Johnson and Jock Landale for the Hawks, and Justin Champagnie, Jamir Watkins and Tristan Vukcevic for the Wizards, all missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Our rating had the Wizards clearly stronger on paper, and on the night that didn't decide it. Anthony Davis's 26 points for the Wizards weren't enough to change the result.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, rest and form. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 55%, about 4 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
