Conditional availability:
  • Anfernee Simons · Questionable; IF ACTIVE markets require confirmation before wagering, and an inactive branch remains unresolved unless a replacement role is independently supported.

An inactive branch names no replacement unless strict-prior role evidence validates that beneficiary. Unresolved opportunity is not silently transferred.

How these were selected: the system first identifies whether the matchup creates or suppresses a team action, then checks which current player owns that role and whether a usable market exists. It does not project an exact player result or calculate a line-relative hit probability. PR, PA, RA and PRA are retained only when their required opportunity components agree. Correlated markets for the same player and direction are consolidated into one primary expression with clearly labeled alternatives. Clean two-sided ProphetX lines are used first; when ProphetX is incomplete or unbalanced, the verified public multi-book line search supplies the reference. Missing injury information or a missing market withholds only the affected player expression; it never removes the game report. No market source changes the scouting direction.

Net role-weighted shot-opportunity signal +0.006; strongest component: Corner-three opportunity +3.4% vs league with 24% prior ownership.

UNDER recommendations

No current UNDER looks.

Made threes remain governed by the separate corner-three and above-the-break opportunity model. After that independent model selects OVER or UNDER, the report searches every exact ProphetX three-point threshold for that player and uses the recommended side whose price is closest to even money. Over 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 are displayed as 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ where applicable. The market line never changes the scouting direction.

Evidence boundary

What is modeled

The system identifies directional changes in points, rebounds and completed-assist opportunity, preserves separate offensive- and defensive-rebound evidence, and connects those opportunities to observed role ownership.

What is not claimed

The beta does not project an exact player box score, assign a hit probability, silently transfer an absent player’s opportunity, or treat one exchange or sportsbook price as proof of value. Recheck the current line and active status before wagering.
