Philadelphia exited in the first round of the 2026 playoffs (vs. Boston Celtics). As defending champions at MSG, the Knicks are clear favorites.

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.

Marc Márquez (Ducati Lenovo) wins the 2026 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix — Losail International Circuit, 8 November 2026 (confirmed by MotoGP.com or FIM by 9 November 2026)

Márquez leads the 2026 championship after 19 of 22 rounds with 399 points, 44 clear of Jorge Martín (355). Martín suffered a wrist injury in Malaysia and is doubtful for Qatar (MotoGPNews, 4 Nov 2026). MotoGPNews experts nonetheless lean toward Marco Bezzecchi for Sunday's main race; Márquez himself admits he 'often struggled at Lusail'. Without a dedicated race-winner market, probability is derived from championship futures (Márquez 2/5, Bezzecchi 7/1 at bet365), implying a ~30–35% single-race win probability for Márquez. A Martín DNS would further reduce competition.
