- Game script (pace): Chicago Bulls can try to push the pace, but Charlotte Hornets is more comfortable if it can slow trips into half-court reads. The early rhythm signal usually tracks the total direction.
- Efficiency edge (side): Over the larger sample, it leans to Charlotte Hornets when possessions remain cleaner and the glass is controlled. Those extra chances can swing the margin. Chicago Bulls carries the clearest ball-security lever to protect.
- Late filters (availability + market): Availability and schedule context are the final filter, and they can change who handles closing possessions and what shots show up late. If the market moves, take it as a prompt to confirm the inputs instead of forcing the first read.
