Lakers at Celtics

Predict three box-score stats. Download the last six games for each team, fit a model with whatever your chapters allow, and submit your numbers. The listed prediction stats are team totals for this matchup unless a label explicitly says player. Your code can only use the tools your completed chapters unlock (plus base R) — that keeps it friendly for beginners, not a Kaggle arms race. Until the game's played, everyone sees only names and concepts used. Afterwards the board ranks by closeness and reveals everyone's predictions and code.
