Game review
What happened
The 76ers beat the Knicks 106–100 on the road. Tyrese Maxey led them with 28 points and 5 assists, and Jaylen Brown added 19. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson had 21 points and 5 rebounds.
What the model got right
Dean Wade missed the game for the 76ers, as the preview expected. Our team-strength rating also had the 76ers as the stronger side (100.0 to 93.1).
What didn't work
The model made the Knicks the favourite at 72%, and that was wrong: the 76ers won by 6. Jalen Brunson scored 21 for the Knicks, but it wasn't enough.
Why
The 76ers already rated slightly stronger on paper, so the pick leaned on home court, which is a thin margin. Even at 72%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and this was one of them. It stays on our record like every other result.
