Game review
What happened
The Trail Blazers beat the Suns 132–119 on the road. Damian Lillard led them with 25 points and 5 assists, and Donovan Clingan added 24. For the Suns, Devin Booker had 33 points.
What the model got right
The model gave the Trail Blazers a 55% chance on the road, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (93.8 to 87.2), and they won by 13. Recent form pointed the same way: the Trail Blazers had been winning by 5.7 points a game, the Suns losing by 5.8. Ja Morant and Shaedon Sharpe for the Trail Blazers, and Jordan Goodwin, Mark Williams and Rasheer Fleming for the Suns, all missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. Devin Booker's 33 points for the Suns weren't enough to change the result.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. 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.
