Frequently asked questions
What should I check first on an NBA prop?
Check expected minutes and role first. A scoring, rebound, or assist estimate is not comparable when the player's rotation changes.
Does a research workflow guarantee a result?
No. It can make assumptions visible, but injuries, rotations, variance, and price still determine the outcome.
