Betting Strategy
- Watch for late inactives — NBA stars miss games regularly and lines move 8-12 points instantly.
- Pace differentials drive totals more than star power; high-pace matchups push overs.
- Live spreads at halftime often offer value when the public overreacts to a hot first half.
- Player rebound and assist props (vs points) often have softer pricing on lesser-known players.
