How to read tonight's slate
A game's outcome is not a pick — it's a set of variables. The research layer surfaces the variables that actually move the number for a given matchup.
Pace differential tells you whether tempo favors totals or unders. Team efficiency splits tell you where one side has a structural edge. Injury impact and rotation changes tell you which lineup combinations are actually on the floor tonight. Matchup history tells you what's noise and what's signal.
