Every game behind L5, L10, L20 and H2H, drawn against tonight's line.
Even at the low end of our projection this still beats the price. The whole range is profitable.
The band is our projection's standard error run through the same model that sets this card's win probability, so it shows how much the number could move if our read on the player's mean is off. The tick is what +185 has to beat to profit. We grade against that instead of a threshold we invented.
No book quotes both sides of this line, so there is no market price to measure it against. The side is our model's read only: no stake, and it is tracked at WATCH or below.
Buy down to 0.5 at 1.40 (-249): win chance rises 52% to 80% and it still prices +EV (12.6%). Tightens the leg without giving up the edge.

Win / push / loss come from our projected distribution. A whole-number line can push - an exact landing returns your stake - so buying to the whole number nearest our projection converts a slice of losses into stake-back. EV is shown only where a book actually quotes that line; other rungs show the model's fair price.
Best EV is the highest-value rung inside the trustworthy band. Tighten is the safest rung that stays +EV, for when a leg needs to survive rather than pay big. EV is our model's edge at the price a book actually quotes. No two-sided main line was available to de-vig against, so a losing-side rung falls back to the flat guard. EV in (parentheses) is a longshot rung we are odds-against to win: the model is calibrated through the middle of its distribution, not the tail, so that number is indicative and never a recommendation.

Recent form is context, not signal. A team on a heater can still be the wrong side of the number. Cross-check with the projection above.
Across 12 replayed days of NBA, this market moves 1.1pp of implied probability on average between six hours out and the close, and the line itself moves 2% of the time (mean 0.01 units of line across every pair measured, movers and non-movers together).
Absolute magnitude over 153 players quoting player_blocks, so signed moves cannot cancel. A volatile market is not an inefficient one: this says how much the close knows that six hours out did not, not which way.
Cells scored against the Over, the side this card is on. At 2.85 (+185) the price needs 35% to break even: green clears it with room, red falls short. A high hit rate at heavy juice is not an edge, which is why we grade against the price and not a round number.
The five most recent games with a readable stat line. Dimmed rows are outside the selected window, not excluded from the record. Hit and miss are scored against 1.5, this card's line, so the same game can be a hit here and a miss on a different rung. The price needs 35% to break even, which is the bar these percentages have to clear.
