NBA opening night · 2026-10-20
Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks
A beta opportunity-scouting report connecting the matchup’s strongest action-level signals to current player roles and observed player-prop lines.
Availability: Philadelphia’s submitted report listed Adem Bona, Anfernee Simons and Dean Wade as questionable. New York’s team submission had not been confirmed at the cutoff, so all Knicks player-level conclusions remain conditional.

Withheld: 34 player-market rows are not published because an official team injury submission was unconfirmed at the cutoff. The game report remains available; unresolved player markets do not.
Conditional availability:
- Anfernee Simons · Points · Questionable; no direction is published until active status and complete support are available.
How these were selected: points, rebounds and assists are modeled independently from information available before the game. PR, PA, RA and PRA are literal sums of the required constituent opportunity changes. “OVER LOOK” and “UNDER LOOK” describe direction at the displayed line—not a calculated win probability or guaranteed wager. Combination cards can express the same player thesis and should not be treated as independent bets.

Over 1.5 Threes
FanDuel +112
Net role-weighted shot-opportunity signal +0.006; strongest component: Corner-three opportunity +3.4% vs league with 24% prior ownership.
Made threes remain governed by the separate corner-three and above-the-break opportunity model. The retired points translation is not used here because it conflicted with the newer, directly validated points-opportunity model.
Evidence boundary
What is modeled
The system identifies directional changes in player points, rebounds and assists opportunity, preserves separate offensive- and defensive-rebound evidence, and assembles supported combination markets from their constituent changes.
What is not claimed
The beta does not assign an exact player-stat 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.
