Game review
What happened
The 76ers beat the Cavaliers 114–106 at home. Tyrese Maxey led them with 32 points and 6 assists, and Joel Embiid added 24. For the Cavaliers, Donovan Mitchell had 32 points and 10 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 (99.0 to 94.5).
What didn't work
The model leaned to the Cavaliers at 50%, close to a coin flip, and it got this one wrong: the 76ers won by 8. Donovan Mitchell scored 32 for the Cavaliers, but it wasn't enough.
Why
The 76ers already rated slightly stronger on paper, so the pick leaned on rest and form, which is a thin margin. At 50% it was close to a coin flip, so a result like this happens almost half the time. It stays on our record like every other result.
