- Game script (pace): When Indiana Pacers manages to speed the tempo, Philadelphia 76ers needs to control the game and turn it into a half-court matchup. That first pace read often mirrors the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The bigger sample points toward Philadelphia 76ers as long as the possession game stays safer and rebounds are secured. Those bonus looks can flip it.
- Late filters (availability + market): Run the closing check on who is available, because small rotation shifts can alter who closes and how the final minutes look. If the market moves, treat it as a nudge to re-verify news rather than jamming a lean.
