摘要

With the globalization of NBA, all eyes on the NBA playoffs are around the world. Ones celebrate the winning of their team which they like. Especially, NBA fans keep on predicting the playoffs game results. However, prediction of winning probability of teams in NBA playoffs is challenging. In order to meet the challenges, we proposed a method using ELO algorithm for prediction and leveraging Graph Database, Neo4j, for implementation. Experiment results show that, the design and implementation of the prediction system could work to some degree.
