Okay, so I wanted to figure out who’s gonna win the Raptors-Mavericks game. I’m not a pro or anything, but I like digging into numbers and seeing what I can find.

First, I looked around for some predictions. I found this one site that ran, like, 10,000 simulations of the game using some fancy computer stuff. I guess it’s kinda like running the game over and over again in a video game, but with more math.
What My AI buddy predicted
Their computer spit out a prediction: Mavericks 120, Raptors 114. So, according to this AI thingy, the Mavericks are the favorites.
I took that prediction as my starting point, that number felt about right.
Checking other details
- Then I did a bit more digging, checking out past games between the two teams. Checking some recent scores.
- Looked at how each team has been playing lately – are they on a hot streak? Are they struggling?
I didn’t get super scientific with it, mostly just getting a feel for how the teams are doing.
My final thought: I gotta agree with the computer on this one, the Mavericks look like they’ve got the edge. I am locking in with the AI’s help and predicting a final score around 120-114.

We will see what happens!
