The Hit Rates board
Each row is one player prop at today's line, with the last 10 games as bars, the streak, the L5, L10, L20 and season hit rates, and the best price on each side.
NBA markets on the board: Points, Rebounds, Assists, Points + Rebounds + Assists, Points + Rebounds, Points + Assists, Rebounds + Assists, Three Pointers, Steals, Blocks, Blocks + Steals, Turnovers, Double Double and Triple Double, plus first-quarter Points, Rebounds and Assists. First-quarter markets are named with (1Q), for example Points (1Q).
How to use it:
- Filters opens one sheet for hit rate, form, matchup, health, odds and game. Each filter you set shows as a chip you can clear.
- View sets the row spacing (Dense, Compact or Relaxed) and the column set (Core, Recent form, Matchup or Everything).
- Save your filters, columns and sort as a saved view, up to 10 for NBA.
- A row's menu has Pin to top.
- Press a price to see every book at that line and the alt lines.
How to use Hit rates covers the board in full.
Defense vs position early in the season
Defense vs position ranks need games to mean anything. Until every team has played 5 games, NBA ranks use the 2025-26 season. The board's column reads Def vs pos · 2025-26, and the player page labels them as last season's ranks.
The player page
Press a player's name to open the player page. It was rebuilt for this season.
The top of the page
- The bet card sits above every tab. Pick the market from the pill that names it, move the line with − and +, or press the line to see every posted line. Choose Over or Under (Yes or No on yes/no markets). The L5, L10, L20 and season chips show the hit rate in each window, next to the best price and the chance that price implies.
- The player rail lists the players in this game, or the whole slate, with each one's main line and last 10. Open it, shrink it to headshots or hide it. Press , and . to move to the previous or next player.
- Share copies a link to the page with your market, line, side, window, tab and filters.
- The bar at the bottom can Track a bet or Add to slip.
Six tabs
Press 1 to 6 to switch tabs.
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | The chart, hit rates by window and against tonight's opponent, splits, who's out, every market at a glance, and tonight's lineups |
| Matchup | The opponent's defense against the player's position, shooting zones, play types, pace and rest, and past games against this team |
| Role | Minutes, usage and shots over time, the player's share of the team's shots and chances, and how teammates' absences change his numbers |
| Lines & odds | Every book's price at the line, every book at every line, line movement, the range of outcomes, and double-double pricing against same-game parlays |
| Correlations | Which other legs moved with this prop in his past games, and a same-game parlay you can price and add to your slip |
| Game log | Every game in the sample, with each one's full box score |
The chart
The Overview chart shows each game as a bar against the line. Drag the dashed line to test another number. Lanes under the chart show minutes, shot attempts, usage and other drivers, and the opponent's defense rank. Combo markets such as Points + Rebounds + Assists split each bar into its parts. Press a bar to open that game's full box score, which has a Shot chart tab for NBA.
Filters
The Filters pill beside the tabs narrows every tab to the games that match. NBA filters include:
- Sample: this season only, regular season, playoffs or NBA Cup, and a start date.
- Venue & schedule: home or away, days of rest including back-to-backs, national TV, and day of week.
- Opponent: a single opponent, the defense's rank against the position, the opponent's pace, and the team's previous result.
- Role & usage: started or came off the bench, and minutes ranges.
- Teammates: With or Without any teammate.
Presets apply common sets in one press: Like this game, Pace like this game, Back-to-back, Full minutes and National TV. Save your own with Save as a preset.
A quicker way to use them: press a row in the Overview Splits card to apply that split, or press Without in Who's out to see his games without that teammate.
Sharing and exporting
- All markets on Overview lists every market's main line and hit rates. Press a row to open that market. Share image makes a picture of the card.
- Correlations has Share image too.
- The Game log's Export sample downloads the games in your sample as a CSV.

Read the numbers carefully
- Early in the season, samples are small. A role can change faster than the numbers show.
- A hit rate is what happened. It is not the chance for the next game.
- Check the exact line and price at your book before you bet.
Troubleshooting
- A player has no line: books may not have posted the prop yet. Check the date and the market.
- Defense ranks say 2025-26: that's expected until every team has played 5 games.
- A filter leaves no games: clear the chips one at a time, or pick a wider sample.
