NBA research checklist for this slate
Basketball markets are driven by minutes, usage and pace, and lineup news can change a number within hours, so the strongest habit is checking who is actually available before comparing prices.
- Check the final injury report and the expected starters before trusting a points or rebounds number.
- Compare each player’s minutes in recent games against the minutes the number implies.
- Look at pace and the likely game script: a lopsided game can cut starters’ minutes.
- Convert the price you are offered to a break-even probability and compare it with your own estimate.
- Shop the same number across the books you can legally use, and note the vig.
- Write down your reason before you place anything, and decide your unit size in advance.
Break-even probability by American price
A price only has value against your own estimate. These are the win rates a bet must reach just to break even at common American prices, before any adjustment for the sportsbook’s margin.
| American price | Break-even win rate |
|---|---|
| -200 | 66.67% |
| -150 | 60.00% |
| -120 | 54.55% |
| -110 | 52.38% |
| -105 | 51.22% |
| +100 | 50.00% |
