November 1, 2026 | GMT+8
SPORTSEDGE360 POST-GAME REPORT
The November NBA campaign has opened on a high note for SportsEdge360.
Following seven games reviewed in our pre-game analysis, SE360 finished with five winning point-spread predictions, one loss, and one disciplined PASS, delivering an impressive 83.3% success rate across six official selections.
Even more encouraging, our three highest-confidence Category A selections — Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, and Houston Rockets — all delivered convincing results.
This was not a moneyline prediction exercise. Every official selection was evaluated against the published point spread, where simply identifying the winning team is not enough.
THE FINAL BOARD — FIVE WINS, ONE LOSS, ONE PASS
✅ Utah Jazz +7.5 — LOSS (Category B)
Portland Trail Blazers 112 – Utah Jazz 90
Utah struggled to stay competitive against Portland, eventually losing by 22 points.
With a +7.5 handicap, the Jazz failed to cover by 14.5 points.
This was SE360's only unsuccessful selection of the day.
Verdict: LOSS
✅ Philadelphia 76ers -1.5 — WIN (Category A)
Philadelphia 76ers 109 – Charlotte Hornets 104
Philadelphia delivered a five-point victory, comfortably clearing the 1.5-point handicap.
The 76ers justified their place among our three preferred selections.
Verdict: WIN — Covered by 3.5 points
⏸️ Atlanta Hawks vs New Orleans Pelicans — PASS
New Orleans Pelicans 121 – Atlanta Hawks 99
New Orleans recorded a commanding 22-point victory.
However, SportsEdge360 deliberately avoided making an official point-spread selection for this matchup.
The final result does not change that decision.
Verdict: PASS — No official selection
✅ Cleveland Cavaliers -9.5 — WIN (Category B)
Cleveland Cavaliers 136 – Milwaukee Bucks 111
Cleveland produced an outstanding offensive performance, scoring 136 points and defeating Milwaukee by 25.
The Cavaliers covered the 9.5-point spread by a comfortable 15.5 points.
Verdict: WIN — Covered by 15.5 points
✅ Minnesota Timberwolves +12.5 — WIN (Category B)
San Antonio Spurs 121 – Minnesota Timberwolves 111
This result demonstrates why point-spread predictions must be assessed differently from outright winners.
Minnesota lost the game by 10 points, but the Timberwolves still covered their +12.5 handicap.
SportsEdge360 correctly identified that Minnesota could remain within the required margin despite losing the game.
Verdict: WIN — Covered by 2.5 points
✅ Memphis Grizzlies -8.5 — WIN (Category A)
Memphis Grizzlies 136 – Sacramento Kings 105
Memphis delivered one of the day's most emphatic performances.
The Grizzlies overwhelmed Sacramento by 31 points, comfortably exceeding the required 8.5-point winning margin.
This was the strongest spread-covering performance among our three preferred picks.
Verdict: WIN — Covered by 22.5 points
✅ Houston Rockets -2.5 — WIN (Category A)
Houston Rockets 119 – Oklahoma City Thunder 98
Houston completed another excellent result for SportsEdge360.
The Rockets defeated Oklahoma City by 21 points, covering the -2.5 handicap by 18.5 points.
It was another convincing performance from a team included in our preferred selections.
Verdict: WIN — Covered by 18.5 points
OUR PREFERRED PICKS — A PERFECT 3–0 SWEEP!
🏆 Philadelphia 76ers -1.5 — WIN
🏆 Memphis Grizzlies -8.5 — WIN
🏆 Houston Rockets -2.5 — WIN
All three Category A predictions delivered.
Category A Record: 3–0 | 100%
These were the selections SportsEdge360 identified as its preferred opportunities before the games began.
Their success is particularly encouraging because each team needed to win by more than its assigned handicap, not merely win the game.
NOVEMBER 1 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Total Games Reviewed: 7
Official Point-Spread Selections: 6
✅ Winning Predictions: 5
❌ Losing Predictions: 1
⏸️ PASS: 1
Overall ATS Success Rate: 83.3%
Category A: 3–0 (100%)
Category B: 2–1 (66.7%)
Preferred Picks: 3–0 (100%)
The figures exclude the PASS decision from the winning percentage and reflect only the published pre-game point-spread selections.
WHY THIS RESULT MATTERS
1. We Focused on the Spread, Not the Moneyline
SportsEdge360 deliberately evaluated point spreads rather than simply identifying which teams were likely to win.
Minnesota's successful +12.5 selection demonstrates the importance of this distinction.
A team can lose the game and still deliver a correct handicap prediction.
2. Our Preferred Selections Delivered
Philadelphia, Memphis, and Houston all justified their Category A classifications.
A perfect result across all three preferred selections is a positive outcome for our pre-game assessment process, although it does not guarantee similar results in future games.
3. PASS Remains Part of the Strategy
SportsEdge360 reviewed Atlanta versus New Orleans but declined to make an official selection.
The Pelicans' eventual victory does not mean a spread prediction would necessarily have been successful.
