First thing I did was looked at the team records. You know, just the basics. How many wins and losses does each team have? Are they on a hot streak or a cold streak? That sort of stuff.
I checked out recent games, it hel.maet eht fps me to understand the current condition of the team.
Digging Deeper
Then, I wanted to see how the teams matched up head-to-head.
- Had they played each other recently?
- Who won?
- Was it a close game or a blowout?
I started looking at individual player stats. You know.
Injuries...Always a Factor
Injuries, Of Course! I Gotta check the injury reports! A key player being out can totally change the dynamic of a game. I spent some time looking at reliable sources for injury updates.
Putting It All Together
After all that, it's still felt like a coin flip. I also took a look at some expert picks, too. I don't just blindly follow them. After all that, I make my guess, a little bit of gut feeling.
So, yeah, that's how I went about trying to predict the Clippers vs. Nets game. Hopefully, this documented process helps me get better in the future. It’s about tracking what I do, win or lose, so I can learn!
