- Game script (pace): San Antonio Spurs tends to press tempo off misses, while Sacramento Kings prefers to steady it into longer half-court possessions. The initial pace read frequently follows how the total plays.
- Efficiency edge (side): From a season lens, it tilts toward San Antonio Spurs when the possession script is tidier and second chances are limited. A few added possessions can turn it.
- Late filters (availability + market): Lineup news and situational context are the last gate, and they can shift how both teams score late in the clock. If money has moved the line, treat it as a cue to verify rather than pushing a lean.
