A 2nd Loss in a row for the Kings on the road. 1st time in OT... :(

Game 5 also had the lowest enrollment in the Prediction Game so far (Only 14)
Come improve that. We're building a tradition here! :)

Time for predictions on game night #6:
On the road vs the Magic, Thursday 11/3, 4:00PM

Current Scoresheet:

The current scoresheet can be found earlier in this thread

You can total as much as 100 points for one prediction:
1. You get 40 pts for predicting the winner.
2. You get up to 30 pts for predicting the point difference of the game (directional difference! +10 is not the same as -10!)
3. You get up to 15 pts for predicting the total score of each of the teams (30 pts for both teams together)

Here's a chart to sum it all up: View attachment 5791

Hi everyone!
I stand corrected about yesterday's grading :(
I wrote down @alonshin's prediction as a Kings W of 114-107, when in fact he predicted a Heat W of 114-107. (Sorry Alon!)
Hence - @alonshin tops the daily leaderboard with 55 pts!:

I will correct the sheets above with this change later.

Hard to summarize the bad nights... :( (that's why I took my time)

No one of the 17 participants predicted the L...

Not an easy one to predict as a W...

Bucks are a surprisingly good team.
They just beat the crap out of the Pacers (H) and the Pelicans (R), scoring loads of points, mainly in the paint (and these are NOT bad teams!).

They got their rythm going now that they started putting Snell and Dellavedova in the 2 G positions (a strong defensive duo!) and moved the Greek Freak to SF.
Giannis & Jabari are great young talents in the F positions, and Monroe is a REAL big (more than Plumlee).
Besides all that, the Bucks have some dangerous stretch-4s with length on the bench, in Teletovic and Beasly.

Kings will have to give some murderous D out there to survive this one.

Still, I'll predict a W, out of hope, mostly:

Kings 103
Bucks 100
