NBA Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Magic +6.5 (-110)
Final Score108-97
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Boston covered comfortably, beating Orlando by 11 and pushing past our projected 4-point margin. The value case was sound — a 6.5-point cushion against a lean projection is a spot we'll continue to take — but the Celtics were simply the better team tonight.

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 221.5 (-108)
Final Score108-97
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Celtics and Magic combined for just 205 points, falling well short of our 221.5 target. Boston's offense never found its rhythm, and Orlando's defense held firm — the model's projection of 230 didn't materialize tonight.

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Anthony Black UNDER 4.5 rebounds (-160)
Final Score8
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Black finished with 8 rebounds, well clear of the 4.5 line and double his seasonal average. The underlying logic was sound, but variance happens — nights like this are why we manage units, not outcomes.

NBA Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Payton Pritchard UNDER 3.5 rebounds (-155)
Final Score7
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Pritchard finished with 7 rebounds, more than doubling his season average and well exceeding the 3.5 threshold. The underlying logic was sound — these outlier performances are part of the game, and the process remains valid.

NBA Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Derrick White UNDER 2.5 threes (-155)
Final Score2
Result+0.65u

📊 Recap

Derrick White finished with exactly 2 three-pointers, landing right in line with his season average and well within our target. The volume simply wasn't there to threaten the 2.5 threshold — exactly what the numbers suggested.

NBA Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Tristan da Silva OVER 1.5 threes (-175)
Final Score5
Result+0.57u

📊 Recap

Da Silva delivered with five three-pointers, validating the case for elevated volume in Banchero's absence. The combination of expanded role and strong underlying averages made this a clean result.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Pacers ML (-166)
Final Score98-90
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Pacers fell short at home, 98-90, and the pick didn't cash. Brooklyn played well enough to win — credit where it's due — and Indiana couldn't generate enough to cover the structural edge we leaned on.

NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Aaron Nesmith UNDER 3.5 rebounds (-165)
Final Score3
Result+0.61u

📊 Recap

Nesmith finished with exactly 3 rebounds, landing right in line with his seasonal average and well short of the 3.5 threshold. The volume and consistency data held firm — a clean process play that delivered as expected.

NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Nolan Traore UNDER 1.5 threes (-205)
Final Score4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Traore finished with 4 threes, a significant outlier against his season average of 0.6 attempts per game. The process was sound given his established profile, but variance had other plans tonight.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Kelly Oubre UNDER 1.5 threes (-225)
Final Score2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Oubre connected on 2 threes, handing us the loss. The process was sound — his season averages strongly supported the under — but tonight he outperformed his baseline, and that's the variance side of a high-probability play.

NBA Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Moritz Wagner OVER 0.5 threes (-165)
Final Score1
Result+0.61u

📊 Recap

Wagner connected from deep exactly as the underlying data suggested he would — one make was all we needed, and his perimeter activity delivered. A clean win backed by a straightforward process.

NBA LA Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Clippers +2.5 (-112)
Final Score112-124
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Warriors handled the Clippers convincingly, 124-112, and the spread never felt close. Our read on Golden State's roster disruption didn't translate — the remaining pieces covered the gap, and we came up short.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA LA Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
UNDER 219.5 (-110)
Final Score112-124
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The final score of 112-124 — a combined 236 points — pushed well past our projected 216, and the Under didn't survive. The model's logic held up on paper, but the offense ran hotter than anticipated. A losing result, accepted cleanly.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA LA Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Yaxel Lendeborg OVER 1.5 threes (-145)
Final Score6
Result+0.69u

📊 Recap

Lendeborg delivered, knocking down two or more threes to cash the over. The elevated role without Curry on the floor played out as expected, and the 1.5 threshold gave just enough cushion for his consistent production to do the work.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA LA Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Brook Lopez OVER 0.5 threes (-240)
Final Score1
Result+0.42u

📊 Recap

Lopez delivered exactly what the numbers suggested he would, connecting on one three-pointer to cash the 'over.' His consistent volume from deep made this threshold a reasonable expectation, and tonight he met it without issue.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA LA Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Kobe Sanders UNDER 1.5 threes (-200)
Final Score4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Kobe Sanders connected on 4 threes, well above his seasonal average — a variance outcome that simply went against us here. The logic behind this pick remains sound; the volume profile just didn't hold on this occasion.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Toronto Raptors @ Los Angeles Lakers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Lakers ML (-192)
Final Score125-131
Result+0.78u

📊 Recap

Lakers ML cashed in a higher-scoring affair than expected, with Los Angeles pulling away late for a 131-125 win. The home-court edge and Toronto's limited shot creation without Kawhi held up exactly as outlined — clean result, clean process.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Toronto Raptors @ Los Angeles Lakers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Walker Kessler UNDER 10.5 rebounds (-125)
Final Score15
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Kessler finished with 15 rebounds, well clear of the 10.5 line, and the expected rebounding competition from Poeltl simply didn't materialize the way the model suggested. A clean loss — the logic was sound, but the result wasn't there tonight.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Toronto Raptors @ Los Angeles Lakers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
RJ Barrett UNDER 1.5 threes (-120)
Final Score4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Barrett finished with 4 three-pointers, a sharp deviation from his season average of 1.0 attempt per game — the kind of outlier performance that occasionally breaks even well-reasoned unders. The process was sound; tonight's result wasn't.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Toronto Raptors @ Los Angeles Lakers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Sandro Mamukelashvili UNDER 1.5 threes (-218)
Final Score2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Mamukelashvili finished with 2 made threes, one more than we needed to stay under. The logic holds — at his usage rate, this remains a low-frequency outcome — but tonight he hit, and we take the loss.

Posted: 11/1/2026 7:53 AM ET
NBA Toronto Raptors @ Los Angeles Lakers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Scottie Barnes UNDER 1.5 threes (-210)
Result+0.48u

📊 Recap

Barnes did exactly what the numbers suggested — staying well within his three-point floor and keeping his game in the paint and mid-range. Low volume, predictable outcome, clean result.
