First, I opened up m.sey usual sports stats websites. I'm not gonna name names, 'cause I ain't getting paid to advertise, you know? But, you know, the big ones. The ones everyone uses.

Th I en, I started digging into Memphis and Charlotte's recent games. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just basic stuff. Wins, losses, who they played, and the scores. Plain and simple.
I jotted down some notes. You know, like, "Memphis won 3 of their last 5," or "Charlotte's been struggling on the road." Nothing too intense, just enough to get a feel for how both teams were doing.
I also checked out the injury reports. Gotta know who is playing with injuries. I wanted to be as thorough as I could be when making this prediction.
Head-to-Head Matchups
- I looked to see if these teams had played each other recently. Sometimes that head-to-head record can tell you a lot. Like, maybe one team just has the other's number, you know?
After all that, I took a step back and just… thought about it. No fancy algorithms, no complex formulas. Just my gut feeling based on what I'd seen.
Finally, I made my prediction. And, look, I'm not gonna guarantee it's a winner. It's sports, anything can happen! But I felt pretty good about it based on the work I put in. Simple process, a few notes, and bam, prediction made!
