Verdict: Miss

Die Philadelphia 76ers besiegten die New York Knicks am 20. Oktober 2026 mit 106:100 beim NBA-Saisoneröffnungsspiel. Die Hintergrundfakten der Vorhersage stimmten (Knicks als Titelverteidiger, Jalen Brunson Finals-MVP, Finalsieg über San Antonio Spurs in 5 Spielen), doch das Spiel selbst verloren die Knicks. Entscheidend war, dass Philadelphia in der Offseason massiv aufgerüstet hatte (u.a. LeBron James und Jaylen Brown). Tyrese Maxey führte die 76ers mit 28 Punkten an, während Brunson mit nur 6/19 aus dem Feld (21 Punkte) schwächelte.

Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points).
