- Game script (pace): Dallas Mavericks has the clearest path if it can press tempo, and Brooklyn Nets answers best when it can steady the game into half-court possessions. The initial pace indicator usually follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The season-wide edge tilts toward Dallas Mavericks when it plays tidier and turns stops into finished possessions. A few added chances can turn the side.
- Late filters (availability + market): The last filter is lineup clarity plus spot context, and those details can shift the scoring environment without warning. Market movement should be a cue to verify instead of pushing a pregame view.
