How this review is built

The day-level figures use saved pre-tip evidence.

Only separately validated final game recaps with saved Courtside forecasts from before tip-off enter this page. Each compared player contributes once per game. Day-level averages weight player-game pairs equally; they do not give each game equal weight. Missing forecasts and unqualified games are excluded.

This is a selected historical sample. It does not establish complete date coverage, future model accuracy, or betting outcomes. Open each game to inspect its player-level projections and final results.
