🏀 AI-Powered NBA prediction platform

What is the problem being addressed?

Sports betting decisions are often made with limited information, leading to inconsistent or uninformed choices. Many users rely on basic stats, personal opinions, or random online predictions without understanding the deeper factors that influence game outcomes.

Our project addresses this by creating a more data driven way to understand NBA games. It helps users explore predictions based on real statistics, player performance trends, and public sentiment so they can make more informed decisions when viewing or analyzing games.

What is your project idea and how will it work?
