Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky star, continues to captivate the sports world this WNBA offseason with her strong presence in NBA arenas. Not only is Reese making waves with her fashionable courtside outfits, but she’s also gaining attention for her apparent influence on game outcomes—leading some fans to call it the “Angel Reese Effect.”
The 22-year-old forward has been spotted cheering on NBA teams from the sidelines, infusing the atmosphere with her energy and style. Recently, Reese attended the Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic game at the Kia Center, where her chic ensemble turned heads and ignited a new wave of excitement among NBA fans.
Angel Reese’s Fashion and Courtside Energy
For her courtside debut at the Magic-Celtics game, Reese wore a stunning winter-ready outfit—a modern twist on the classic little black dress.
The mini dress featured beige fur detailing around the collar and cuffs, adding an elegant touch to her look. To complement the dress, Reese carried a beige Chanel mini handbag, showcasing her impeccable taste in fashion.
Reese flashed a radiant smile throughout the game, greeting fans with her signature warmth and energy. Her presence at the game quickly became a talking point, but it wasn’t just her style that had fans buzzing—it was her apparent “good luck charm” status for the home teams she attends.
The “Angel Reese Effect”
It didn’t take long for fans to notice a curious trend when Reese is courtside: home teams seem to have an uncanny streak of success. Following the Magic’s 108-104 victory against the Celtics, NBA fans took to social media to point out that home teams have been undefeated in games Reese has attended.
“Home teams have gone 12-0 in games when Angel Reese has been in attendance,” one fan tweeted, adding fuel to the fire of what’s being dubbed the “Angel Reese Effect.”
Reese herself acknowledged the playful theory, jokingly asking fans about the “record” and showing that she was aware of her growing reputation as a lucky charm for home teams.

Naturally, NBA fans have started to embrace this quirky phenomenon, with many inviting Reese to attend their favorite teams’ games in hopes of securing a victory.
“Come save the Sacramento Kings please,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Need you to be at the Steelers-Chiefs game in a Steelers jersey.”
Others had fun with the idea, telling Reese to stick to certain teams. “Keep coming to Magic games but stay away from my guys,” one commenter quipped, while another warned, “Insane run, don’t go to any Bears games soon if you wanna keep your streak.”
A fan account added, “Let’s just say that every time you’ve attended a game this year, the home team has come out on top!” reaffirming the growing belief that Reese’s presence might just be the secret ingredient for a home team win.
A Mixed Record
However, not every game Reese attended ended in a home team victory. She was also spotted at the New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic game at Madison Square Garden, where the Magic lost 100-91, and at the Orlando Magic vs. Detroit Pistons game at the Kia Center, where the Magic secured a 111-100 win.
Despite a mixed record, the “Angel Reese Effect” continues to spark conversations, with many fans eager to see if the streak holds up in future games.
