Osaka vs Alvark

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 74%. Alvark won 6/7 current games, including all four away games: 94-82 at Brave Thunders, 96-71 and 138-131 at Chiba, and 88-82 at Yokohama. Osaka lost five straight and all three current home games, scoring 57 in each; Alvark won nine of ten listed H2Hs and the latest two at Osaka by 17 and 15 points. Main risk: Alvark lost 74-85 to Ryukyu, one Chiba win required extra periods, and the small current sample includes repeated opponents and weaker teams; the model 74% is supporting evidence rather than proof.
