Game review
What happened
The Hornets beat the Nets 110–103 on the road. Grayson Allen led them with 21 points, making 5 of 8 threes, and Naz Reid added 20. For the Nets, Julius Randle had 33 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
What the model got right
The model gave the Hornets a 68% chance on the road, mainly because of rest and form, even though the Nets rated slightly stronger (80.2 to 77.6), and they won by 7. Recent form pointed the same way: the Hornets had been winning by 8.8 points a game, the Nets losing by 14.6. Kon Knueppel, Coby White and Grant Williams for the Hornets all missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Our rating had the Nets slightly stronger on paper, and on the night that didn't decide it. Julius Randle's 33 points for the Nets 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 68%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
