Game review
What happened
The Nets beat the Pacers 98–90 on the road. Michael Porter Jr. led them with 23 points and 9 rebounds, and Julius Randle added 20. For the Pacers, Andrew Nembhard had 23 points.
What the model got right
Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin for the Nets, and Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, Ivica Zubac, Johnny Furphy and T.J. McConnell for the Pacers, all missed the game, as the preview expected. Our team-strength rating had the teams almost level (85.1 to 84.7), so the model never saw this as one-sided.
What didn't work
The model made the Pacers a slight favourite at 63%, and that was wrong: the Nets won by 8. The Nets out-rebounded the Pacers 43–37.
Why
With the teams rated almost level, home court decided the pick, and that is a thin margin. Even at 63%, about 4 in 10 games like this go the other way, and this was one of them. It stays on our record like every other result.
