NBA props and stats guides

What player props are, how to read an over/under line, what DVP is and how the projection is calculated: guides to analyse the NBA with data.

• What are NBA player props — NBA player props are bets on an individual player's performance (points, rebounds, assists, threes) rather than the game result. How they work and how to analyse them.
• How to read an over/under line in the NBA — What Over and Under mean on an NBA line, how to interpret the hit rate over the last 10 games and which mistakes to avoid when analysing props.
• What is DVP in the NBA (defense vs position) — DVP (defense vs position) measures how much an NBA defense allows to each position. What it is, how to use it to analyse props and what its limits are.
• Opening line vs closing line in NBA props — What the opening and closing line mean in NBA props, why lines move and what comparing both tells you.
• How we calculate a prop's projection and edge — BucketsBase methodology: how a player's projection, the opponent factor and the edge against the line are calculated, and what its limitations are.
