- Game script (pace): The style leans toward Houston Rockets trying to press the game, with Boston Celtics looking to steady it and cut down on fast decisions. That initial pace split often follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The longer view tilts toward Boston Celtics if it can keep the game tidier and finish defensive possessions. Creating added opportunities can turn the side call. Boston Celtics owns the plainest turnover advantage to keep through four quarters.
- Late filters (availability + market): Start with the last availability check, because rotation changes can shift both the side and total read at the finish. If the market shifts, use that as a cue to re-check news rather than pushing the angle.
