There is an algorithm on the Internet that maps a win probability graph for NBA basketball games that evolves as the game progresses. My project will emulate this algorithm where it finds the probability of a team’s winning a game following each scoreboard change that occurs during the game’s progress. Based on the time remaining and the nature of the last points scored, the algorithm will predict the probability of a given team being the eventual winner. We obtained the data to apply on the algorithm from the history of games played from ESPN.com.
