📊 Recap

Final Score128-97
Result-1u

Atlanta fell well short in a 128-97 blowout loss to Miami, turning our 4.7-point edge into a decisive loss. While our model correctly identified value in the line, Miami's dominant performance across all phases rendered our analysis irrelevant on this night.

NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Oklahoma City Thunder
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 212.5
Final Score86-105
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Our Over 212.5 analysis relied on Brooklyn's poor defensive metrics and fatigue factors, but both teams shot poorly in a defensive slugfest that totaled just 191 points. The process was sound given the data inputs, but execution variance went heavily against us.

NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Oklahoma City Thunder
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Oklahoma City Thunder -18.5
Final Score86-105
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Our projection of a 21.6-point margin proved accurate as Oklahoma City's depth overwhelmed Brooklyn's developmental roster in a 19-point victory. The Thunder's balanced offensive attack at home delivered exactly the type of dominant performance we anticipated against the undermanned Nets.

NBA LA Clippers @ Los Angeles Lakers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
LA Clippers +7.5
Final Score122-125
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Our Clippers +7.5 cashed as the mathematical edge we identified played out perfectly, with LA winning outright 125-122. The healthy Kawhi Leonard and structured Clippers defense delivered exactly the competitive game our model projected against an overvalued Lakers spread.

NBA Denver Nuggets @ Portland Trail Blazers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Denver Nuggets -122
Final Score157-103
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Our process correctly identified Denver's structural advantages, but Portland's 54-point blowout loss far exceeded any reasonable variance expectations. The Jokic matchup played out as projected, though the magnitude of Denver's dominance rendered our thin edge analysis irrelevant to the final outcome.
