Game review
What happened
The Wizards beat the Bulls 124–120 on the road. Trae Young led them with 25 points and 9 assists, and Kyshawn George added 22. For the Bulls, Caleb Wilson had 30 points and 14 rebounds.
What the model got right
Jamir Watkins for the Wizards, and Nic Claxton and Patrick Williams for the Bulls, all missed the game, as the preview expected. Our team-strength rating also had the Wizards as the stronger side (95.5 to 92.1).
What didn't work
The model made the Bulls a slight favourite at 64%, and that was wrong: the Wizards won by 4. Caleb Wilson scored 30 for the Bulls, but it wasn't enough.
Why
The Wizards already rated slightly stronger on paper, so the pick leaned on home court, which is a thin margin. Even at 64%, 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.
