Verdict: Miss

Die Philadelphia 76ers gewannen das Spiel mit 106-100 gegen die New York Knicks am 20. Oktober 2026 im Madison Square Garden. Tyrese Maxey führte Philadelphia mit 28 Punkten an. Die Vorhersage scheiterte vor allem daran, dass die 76ers ihren Kader entgegen der angenommenen 'Roster-Fragezeichen' massiv verstärkt hatten: LeBron James (14 Pkt, 9 Reb, 6 Ast in seinem Philadelphia-Debüt) und Jaylen Brown (19 Pkt, 8 Reb) wurden verpflichtet, wodurch Philadelphia trotz Auswärtsstatus das Heimrecht des MSG neutralisierte. Brunson traf für New York nur 6 von 19 Feldwürfen. Quellen: ESPN (76ers 106-100 Knicks, Oct 20 2026), NBC Sports, NBA.com.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. 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). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
