Can airport gates be double-booked? Arrival and departure gates are listed as the same

What if we aren't able to deplane from my first flight because my second flight is at the gate and boarding?
Then the ground ops controllers at the airport will either hold your inbound flight on a taxiway or at a hold point until the gate has cleared, or reassign your inbound flight to another gate, or park you at a remote stand and bus you to the terminal.
Gate assignments are in no way fixed in stone - they can change at a moments notice. Often at busy airports, aircraft will get assigned a gate once they have landed and are taxiing to the terminal.

L is a new set of gates for American Eagle at ORD.
It is not uncommon to see Eagle flights blocked for only 30 minutes at the gate.
99%, the aircraft that operates BWI-ORD will also be operating the ORD-MSY flight.

According to flightradar24 the aircraft with registration N529NK flew BWI-ORD-MSY on Mar 22. On March 23 N521NK is/was scheduled to fly BWI-ORD but due to disruption landed in BOS 15 hours late. Hence its schedule for today doesn't make much sense.
It is scheduled to fly BOS-BWI and land in BWI at 9:06am and then miraculously take off at 06:17 to fly BWI-ORD. Either the flight will be delayed or another aircraft will fly this route.
In summary, the reason for the same gate is that it was supposed to be the same aircraft. Whether it will be is another question.
Update: It seems N521NK did fly BWI-ORD (NK761) but unfortunately landed two hours late leading to the missed connection to ORD-MSY (NK815) which was operated by N506NK. I suspect that lead to the OP spending rather a long day at various airports today.
