Game review
What happened
The Trail Blazers beat the Kings 120–107 away from home. Deni Avdija scored 34 and Damian Lillard 29. Portland made 29 of 31 free throws. De'Andre Hunter led Sacramento with 24, and Domantas Sabonis had 21 points and 12 rebounds.
What the model got right
We picked Portland at 74%, and they won by 13. The model had Portland ahead on team strength (93.2 to 83.8) and in form (about 4.5 a game against about minus 11.2). Portland played without Ja Morant and Shaedon Sharpe, and Sacramento without Maxime Raynaud.
What didn't work
Portland shot well, 37 of 77 from the field, and made 17 of 42 threes. The model did not expect free throws to matter as much as they did.
Why
The pick was right. Portland's two high scorers and near-perfect free throw shooting carried it.
