Show HN: DeepShot – NBA game predictor with 70% accuracy using ML and stats

https://github.com/saccofrancesco/deepshot
3•frasacco05•5h ago
I built DeepShot, a machine learning model that predicts NBA games using rolling statistics, historical performance, and recent momentum — all visualized in a clean, interactive web app. Unlike simple averages or betting odds, DeepShot uses Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA) to capture recent form and momentum, highlighting the key statistical differences between teams so you can see why the model favors one side. It’s powered by Python, XGBoost, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and NiceGUI, runs locally on any OS, and relies only on free, public data from Basketball Reference. If you’re into sports analytics, machine learning, or just curious whether an algorithm can outsmart Vegas, check it out and let me know what you think: https://github.com/saccofrancesco/deepshot

Haven’t dug the repo too much yet but looks like a super cool project. I’ have a few questions:

1. To what does 71% accuracy refers? I assume picking which team will win in any given matchup?

2. How does 70% compare to say, picking the team with the better record to win, or some simple time weighted rolling average of SRS record (metric that factors in opponent difficulty)? Because a solid percentage of games are between teams of extremely different talent levels, especially as tanking becomes more prominent later in the season.
