Game review
What happened
The Pistons beat the Nets 110–94 on the road. Cade Cunningham led them with 20 points and 5 rebounds. For the Nets, Moritz Wagner had 16 points and 8 rebounds.
What the model got right
The model gave the Pistons a 75% chance on the road, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (88.7 to 86.4), and they won by 16. Recent form pointed the same way: the Pistons had been winning by 5.1 points a game, the Nets losing by 12.6. Jalen Duren for the Pistons, and Egor Demin for the Nets, both missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. The Nets won the rebounding battle 50–41 and still lost.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 75%, about 2 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
